THE BARE FACTS
THE BARE FACTS
Lee Remick was always known as one who spoke her mind with refreshing candor, no matter what the subject.
When performing nude in films became the popular trend in Hollywood, Lee spoke out against it urging others actresses to refrain from the practice. She and actress Carroll Baker even came to "verbal blows over the issue, and the flare-ups reached white-heat intensity in newspapers all across the country."
Despite the strength of the trend, Lee Remick constantly refused "to emote in the altogether" stating, "Nudity is pretty boring. People always seem to think that I've played very sexy scenes but honestly, when you analyze them shot by shot, there really hasn't been much exposure. There's so much nakedness in films today that the stories get lost in a wave of salaciousness. The trouble is that breasts and bottoms look boringly alike. Faces, though, can be quite different and a damn sight more interesting!"
