We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
get into bed, but it’s so dark that not even an outline is seen. It just looks lovely. If only the studio people had made it quite clear that I didn’t take
off my clothes in broad daylight
But this way, it’s become quite silly and crude, I think. It’s very sad. They promised me that no photographers would be on the set, but one was there and he sent the picture around the world. And that’s how it started. It’s such a shame, really. I didn’t do it for the publicity. I did it for the good of the picture."
3. DEBORAH WALLEY: "Under no circumstances would I pose for a nude scene in a movie. That just isn't the kind of ‘exposure’ that helps an actress’ career. On the contrary, it minimizes any real talent she might have and lessens the chances for public acceptance. Even if such a scene is necessary to the development of the plot and it is handled with taste, it’s a cinch to be sensationalized when the picture is released. I didn’t spend my parents’ money and my time in learning to be an actress, only to end up displaying the kind of talent that’s measured with a tape by inches. That's not for me."
4. ANNETTE FUNICELLO: "Definitely not. I don’t think an actress’ career should hinge on such promiscuity. Even for so-called ‘art's sake.’ Her talent or ability as a performer should be enough
to win her the role she seeks. I think that such an act cheapens an actress and lowers her standing in the movie industry. By doing so, I feel she would also lose the respect of her fans and the moviegoing public. If getting a role is dependent on an actress doing such a thing, maybe she would be better off to get into some other kind of business."
5. LAUREL GOODWIN: "! don’t think so. I would be embarrassed to tears! That would stop me altogether, aside from any other moral considerations."
6. KIM NOVAK: "Yes, and I did in ‘Of Human Bondage.’ At first I worried about it and thought maybe I should wear some kind of nightdress. But then I decided nothing— absolutely nothingshould come between me and my audience. My director even suggested that I use a ‘body double.’ When I asked him what he meant, he told me, ‘You have a nude scene and of course you don't want to pose in the nude, so you’ll have a body double.’ But I told him, ‘Why should I use a double? Who’s got a better body than I have?’ Of course, when I did the scene, they cleared the set of everybody but the people who were working on that scene. When it was over, Lawrence Harvey told me: ‘I’m glad I became an actor. This was worth waiting for.’ There’s only one thing that worries (Continued on page 91)
