OAK PARK, Ill., June 12, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Exposing the Top 100 Celebrity Nude Scenes of all time hot on the heels of American Film Institute's 100 Top Love Stories, Jim "Mr. Skin" McBride, celebrity nudity movie reviewer and national radio personality, released the quintessential list of the best undressed female celebrities in film from his Chicago area corporate offices Wednesday.
Spanning 70 years of world cinema, from 1932's Ecstasy starring Hedy Lamarr through to 2002's Monster's Ball featuring Halle Berry, this exhaustively comprehensive contribution to the information age required countless hours of carefully considering casts of thousands of famous females, in a multitude of mainstream movies with PG or R ratings. Each actress and every frame of all films was painstakingly examined, compared and rated personally by Mr. Skin: "It's hard work but somebody's got to do it!"
Surprised to find your favorites way down the list: Helen Hunt is 98th, Melanie Griffith -- 90th and Bo Derek, once an undeniable "10"... now only 74th? Shocked to even see these names on a list of topless or nude actresses: Julie Andrews number 59, Reese Witherspoon -- 45th, Katie Holmes -- 43rd, Angie Dickinson -- 13th or Pam Grier at number 11? Coming in at number ten is Meredith Baxter for My Breast ('94), Ninth place: Jayne Mansfield in Promises! Promises! ('63), Eight place: Alyssa Milano for Embrace of the Vampire ('94), Seventh Place: Sophie Marceau in Beyond the Clouds ('95), Sixth place: Kelly Preston for Mischief ('85), Fifth place: Denise Richards in Wild Things ('98), Fourth place: Jennifer Connelly in The Hot Spot ('90), Third place: Sharon Stone for Basic Instinct ('92), Second place: Mimi Rogers for Full Body Massage ('95), and First place: Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High ('82).
