Hedy Lamarr nude – Ecstasy (1932)
When Lamarr signed on for the role, the young actress rushed through her contract and did not realize that she would have to strip down for the film. While the nude scene is innocent enough–her character leaves her clothes on her while she swims naked and must chase after it–Lamarr initially threatened to quit. The director coerced her participation by telling her that she would have to pay for the scenes already filmed, and that long shots would be used so her intimate parts wouldn’t be visible. The latter was a fib, and Lamarr was outraged at the movie’s preview when the scene included a number of close-ups of her exposed body.
