WHat she said was that she wasn't going to be nude to PROMOTE her movies...like some actresses do when they pose for Playboy and such to promote an upcoming movie.

I think she is a greater woman than those that do that. Women are not sex objects for men.

Reese Witherspoon,

thank you for not taking your clothes off, you are ugly as Hell!

Not to mention stupid and phony b!tch!

Everyone has a price even her, lucky for her she's financially in a position where is a none issue.

Regarding the extra/fan, get over yourself. Nobody owes you thier attention or acknoledgement. Most extras I have dealt with are crazy wierdos from shady agencies, the unemployable types you find on craigslist. Your job is to be invisible and in the background. Not to be a fan or remotely distrupt production.

Ever thought she may have been deep in thought or in character? Possibly concentrating on her lines. Just because the camera is not rolling on her doesn't mean she's off. Maybe the noise around her may make her oblivious to your comment and just not heard you.

Can you imagine how long it would have to take to get on and off set if one acknoledges everyone, looks'em in the eye, greets and shakes hands with everyonse. Ask "how are you", when you can honestly care less, just to not appear rude. You'd never get to shooting anything.

I admire and respect Reese for this decision. It is quite frightening, how angry men become when women say things like this--as if she has no right to deny them access to her body. Boundaries are important, and teaching children that their bodies are not for exploitation is very important. Women are expected much more than men to strip down in movies for "artistic" purposes....It is interesting that movies so rarely call for male nudity. Women are sexually exploited in our society, and I appreciate that Reese has grown as a woman, recognizes this, recognizes that she was exploited in the past, and chooses to no longer do this. A true artist is faithful to their values and integrity, not to the financial bottom line.

BTW, Julia Roberts had a body double in Pretty Woman. Further, the scene is to the side and back, the camera is pulled back, and it is fleeting. She is not exploited in the scene.

On a final note, being modest is not the same as being a prude. Being modest is not about being anti-sex, but to be respectful of boundaries and to resist the sale of one's body for commercial purposes. It is disturbing that men become so enraged when a woman says she is opposed to being exploited/showing nudity: it is as if they believe the woman is obliged to give men access to her body and she has spurned them by refusing to do so. Then they become angry and start the name-calling. Quite scary--and telling.

No one wants to see her naked in movies and she can't pull off sexy photoshoots.

She is a total hypocrite because when she wasn't the highest paid actress in history she was naked in more than one film.

She really needs to STFU and stop being so vocally judgemental about how other people choose to live their lives.

Hate to break the news but both Julia and Reese showed nudity in films. As someone already said, Reese did a very long topless scene before she was uber famous. I was a big fan of hers before anyone knew she existed and was disappointed because it was completely unnecessary for the film. They could have made the same point showing her back while she faced Paul Newman. The film was Twilight. I have read she really regrets it. As far as her not taking the time to talk to extras, so what? She is a professional with a family and likely wants to go in, do her job, and get out. You don't hear of her doing drugs like Vince or getting into fights. I would rather work with a professional, controlling or not, than fun loving druggie who you have to worry about liability and insurance on the film because who knows what trouble they will get into.

Julia went topless in Pretty Woman. It was more discreet but it was one of the bed scenes with Richard Gere. The view is partially obstructed by part of the bed but on the DVD you can definitely see her breasts. She has admitted this before and talked about how she was so nervous shooting it she broke out in hives. She has said she isn't against nudity, so I imagine her reason for not doing more nudity is she never had a good figure and was always insecure about that. Her breasts were tiny for her big frame and saggy even at such a young age. She used to have a dark mole on one of her breasts too. Her figure is better now since she got a lot of liposuction in the late 90s for that large butt and hips, then again after her kids. If she ever decides to have a boob job, I am willing to bet she will do nudity again and this time reveal more. I noticed after her first lipo she started to wear tight, figure revealing clothes and swim suits in public, which she didn't before.

Twilight! thank you! i've been trying to figure out the name of the movie she showed her boobies in for YEARS!

thank you

She was great in "Twilight," in which she was topless for at least one scene -- and I mean long shots of her topless, with long, lingering views of her breasts. (Look it up if you don't believe me.) By the way, she looked beautiful in the scene, and the movie was a quality film starring Paul Newman. I'm a little puzzled by her saying "never" and castigating actresses who did exactly what she did. Good actress, great breasts - very hypocritical

Let's respect her decision.She is a qualified mother.
She is so nice, at least in my mind. Her profile and photos were found on a interracial dating site interracialromancing.com last week.

Sounds like a stuck up prude. In other interviews hearing how she lords over her kids (I don't think they're allowed any fun at all), sounds like an overbearing parent as well. Ryan is much better off. Hearing her talk now, after being nude in a couple of films, sounds like when MC Hammer was condemning music sampling after his various music sampling hits. Look, if you don't want to be nude anymore, fine, that's your business. But putting down those who don't have a problem with it (in one fell swoop she slammed BETTER actresses Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Connolly, Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Jason Leigh and three dozen others) is absurd. No wonder everyone hates her on the new Vince Vaughn film, she sounds like a real pain in the butt. But I'm sure her attitude will change when the parts start drying up or when she reaches an age when no one wants to see her nude. Some films are trash, but others are art...and nudity is part of art. You either have a problem with nudity in general or you don't. And since when do her kids go to R rated movies anyhow?

She's a fcuking hypocrite. If her character called for it, shoe would do it.

I respect her for sticking to her believes. I’m sure it’s much easier to just take the money and do it, but chooses to respect her self and not be a sell her body.
Good for her!

nudity is plain *gasp* flabbergasting and also *gasp* so discombobulating..lol..

Thank God for people like Reese, unlike Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears etc. she actually has some morals ( unlike these two), AND she can actually act.

She isn't saying that she won't go nude for movies. She's saying that she won't promote her movie but stripping down. There's a difference. And I agree with Carrie...she now has children and she wants to be a good role model. Stripping down for publicity wouldn't really be a good thing for her young children to see.
