10.12.04 - KEIRA KNIGHTLEY
You may have seen Keira Knightley in Bend It Like Beckham, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl or King Arthur. If you haven't seen her naked yet, the film that she has a nude scene in will be released on DVD next week on October 19. The film is called The Hole. You can buy it here:
10.5.04 - ERICA DURANCE
"J" writes in this tip: If you are a fan of television's "Smallville," you've probably noticed Lois Lane, played by Erica Durance. The good news is that she's also known as Erica Parker. The great news is that she has a nude scene in House of the Dead. Erica has an excellent skinny dipping scene. Here's a small screen capture:
5.19.04 - HELEN OF TROY
Maybe you've seen Troy in the theater and been entranced by Helen of Troy, the face that launched a thousand ships. She is played by former model, Diane Kruger. Diane has a very brief nude scene in The Target (2002). At 9 minutes in, you see very brief side view of her left breast and buns when getting out of bed, then brief buns when she's getting dressed. I gave the scene only one star. If you don't have "a thing" for Ms. Kruger, you can skip checking this out because the scene goes by pretty quick.
4.27.04 - THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO
Well friends, it looks like we have some great things to look forward to:
First off, we have Anne Hathaway, recently seen in Ella Enchanted, The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. She wants to shed her goodie-goodie girl image by shedding some clothes in the upcoming film Havoc. Here's a short write up in The New York Post. Check around the web for photos of her wearing a sheer black dress with no bra underneath at the School of Rock premiere. Meow!
Charisma Carpenter, of television's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its spin-off "Angel" will be posing nude in an upcoming issue of Playboy magazine. Now there's a carpenter who will help polish your wood!
Neve Campbell has her "first" nude scene in the film When Will I Be Loved according to FHM magazine. Apparently, she doesn't consider showing her buns in the Canadian film, Northern Passage (1994) to be "real" nudity. Considering how far she was from the camera in that shot and you could briefly see only her buns while walking into a river, we wouldn't count it as "real" nudity either.
Follow up 5.19.04: James A. and John S. write in separately to let us know about the same story: Someone from Fox News has seen the actual film. Read about it here.
Jennifer Garner (13 Going on 30, Daredevil and television's "Alias") has a possible nude scene in the film Happy Endings, at least according to the blurb at the end of this article in Style.
Follow up 5.19.04: Philip writes in to let us know the unhappy ending to this tale, Jennifer Garner is no longer working in Happy Endings. Maggie Gyllenhaal will be taking over the role. Maggie has excellent nude scenes in the quirky film, Secretary.

Two to be on the lookout for:
Leelee Sobieski, has nudity in L'Idole which is available now on DVD and videotape, but not in the US yet. (I think Leelee should play Helen Hunt's daughter or younger sister in a film someday.)
Likewise, cute Kimberly Williams (Father of the Bride) has a nude scene in the film Elephant Juice, which is also not available in the US yet.
3.22.04 - KATE BECKINSALE
British actress Kate Beckinsale is becoming more and more well known here in the United States for her acting in such films as Pearl Harbor (2001), Underworld (2003) and the upcoming Van Helsing (2004). Regular Bare Facts readers know that being a foreign actress increases the odds that she has done nudity before. Sure enough, Kate did some in Uncovered back in 1994. We just had to be patient for the film to be released on video here. In Uncovered, Kate has three nude scenes. One at 22 minutes in and another at 1 hour and 18 minutes in. Her breast, er, I mean best nude scene occurs at 39 minutes in. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
I'm still sure that her "nude" scenes in Haunted (1996) were done by a body double. I've seen several websites that agree with this opinion.
1.28.04 - RACHEL HUNTER
The media is reporting that former model Rachel Hunter (Ex-wife of Rod Stewart) will be featured in an upcoming issue of Playboy magazine. You have probably recently seen Rachel playing the mother in the music video for Fountains of Wayne's "Stacy's Mom".
Rachel has a semi-nude scene in Sports Illustrated’s 25th Anniversary Swimsuit Video (1989). At 3 minutes in you can see her right breast under the sheer black swimsuit that she is wearing.
In the movie Two Shades of Blue (1999), Rachel may have a nude scene. At 1 hour and 21 minutes in you see her brief left breast, then brief breasts, while making love with Eric Roberts on balcony. Brief buns too, but you don't see her face. This makes me wonder if she used a body double. We'll have to wait until the Playboy issue hits the newsstands so we can compare...
