Jennifer Connelly is a legend of film nudity. She was ubiquitous in our annual top twenty lists from 1996-2003, including three finishes in the top three, and two top-ten appearances in the same year.

Her nude scenes:

The Hot Spot, 1990

Of Love and Shadows, 1994

Mulholland Falls, 1996 (The top nude scene of 1996)

Inventing the Abbotts, 1997 (The #2 nude scene of 1997)

Waking the Dead, 2000, with additional nudity in deleted scenes. (#9 among the top nude scenes of 2000)

Requiem for a Dream, 2000 (#3 among the top nude scenes of 2000)

The House of Sand and Fog, 2003 (#15 among the best nude scenes of 2003)

Shelter, 2014

American Pastoral, 2016

They were both born on Dec 12, 1970, and are therefore both turning 48 today.

Madchen’s best nude scene is one of the greatest in history. In 1994, at the tender age of 23, she stripped off every stitch of clothing and was photographed from every angle in Dream Lover.

The remainder of her early career was mostly just teases: a quick flash of her booty in Love Cheat & Steal (1993, age 22); side-boobs in Bombshell (1996, age 25) and Hangman (2001, age 30). Then in 2013, after more than a decade without any nudity in her performances, she did a beautiful full rear nude at age 42, in a 2013 episode of Witches of East End, and she looked mah-velous. Those four appearances are pictured here.

Bess Armstrong’s only worthwhile nude scene was in The House of God (1984, age 32)

She did flash a butt very briefly in The Four Seasons (1981, age 29), but that could have been anyone. Even if it is Bess, she could have been wearing a thong.

She turns 65 today. She’s still working, still vivacious. Here she is in season two of House of Lies

To the best of my knowledge, this was her only screen nudity. It was in 1971, and she was 30.

The interview below, from February, 2018, shows what she looks like now. In one word, she looks incredible, and I mean that literally. It’s impossible to believe she could look like that because she was 77 then, and turns 78 today. Ain’t modern science wonderful!

By the way, she’s another one who went full Mimi Rogers on her birth year. Wikipedia explains the reasons why they decided on 1940, but she has also claimed 1942 and 1943 at various times.

She never did do a great nude scene. She came kinda-sorta close in three films.

In 1968 (age 36), a breast slipped out of her robe in The Night of the Following Day. Her nipple seems to have been taped.

The following year, she played a stripper in Marlowe and was topless except for small pasties.

In 1981 (age 49) she, like fellow birthday girl Bess Armstrong, showed her butt while skinny-dipping in The Four Seasons. (Maybe. Just as with Bess Armstrong’s scene, it’s impossible to say who it was or whether she was in a thong.)

She turns 87 today and she looked great at this year’s SAG awards.
