Nude scenes from 1969 to 2019, pretty good run, love her ass - "Sally first flashed skinage in Futz! (1969), which featured the bizarre nakedness of Sally riding a hog Lady Godiva-style."

You’ve also been known for feeling very comfortable with your body onscreen and onstage. I read somewhere that you were the first actress to appear nude in the New York stage…

I was. 1968, Terrence McNally, Sweet Eros...and that was before Hair, before Oh! Calcutta! Terrence called me and asked me if I would do this for him and I had been in the La Mama troupe, so I’d been nude in their shows, golding up gossamer veils in a play called Changes by Megan Terry. Clive Barnes in the Post said the nudity was done tastefully, so I felt pretty good about it. My mother was the fashion editor of LIFE at the time, here she is telling people to put clothes on and I was telling them to take them off, so the New York Times called me up to ask why I was doing this, and I said “because I’m opposed to the Vietnam War and you can’t carry a gun on a naked body” and that went into the history books.

But more than physical nudity, this means that you’re willing to have your characters look unattractive onscreen, you’re willing to take them to a place lacking in any vanity…

In this movie, I’ve put on some weight compared to back in the day, and Sharon said there would be nudity and I went “OK...but can you shoot me from this angle and this angle?”
