Playfully examines the decisions of art, beauty, and shameless merchandising behind Hollywood's most celebrated nude scenes, telling why, and why not, America's favorite stars have chosen to bare themselves on film. There is something here for fans of everyone from Theda Bara to Leonardo DiCaprio. Each page is graced by b&w photos of scantily clad bodies of the past and present. Annotation c.
