Imogen Stubbs topless, 35 years ago

From the BBC’s three-part 1988 adaptation of The Rainbow (episode 3). This is rarely seen, and I’ve never seen it in good quality.

Both Stubbs and an actress named Kate Buffery did full-frontal nudity in this production, but there are several reasons why it’s basically useless to do captures: (1) the scenes take place at night, outdoors; (2) the performers are quite far from the camera; (3) the quality is best described as “below average VHS.”

Although this was the only film where she did a full-frontal scene, Stubbs did quite a bit of nudity in the late 80s. She has basically kept her clothes on since then, and has created a powerful body of work in prestige dramas, as befits her Oxford education and RSC training.
