Just as a point of interest for those who are interested, Ms. Stowe has stated that she has no interest in doing any more nude scenes. To quote, when asked about a previous statement that she had made against doing nude scenes, she said:
"I'm not saying I wouldn't again, I just always think, Why am I doing this? I often wonder if there isn't something more interesting in not seeing anything, which I generally think there is. It's easy enough to take your clothes off and walk around, but is that the best way to make the scene work? Many times, it's not, but we've become so used to seeing nudity that we don't even try to come up with more clever solutions. So I make sure the scene is extremely important to the film if it involves my taking off my clothes. Otherwise, I'll just leave them on, thank you very much. I'm sure people are tired of seeing me without my clothes anyway, don't you think?"
So, though I would not deny anyone the right to their own opinions, perhaps careful consideration should be given before unduly harsh judgement is passed.
