      There was a time Ricci refused to a scene like the director wanted to which is telling because she’s done plenty of sex scenes. The director threatened to sue her but she stood her ground.

        There’s this weird fucked up puritan/pornbrain hybrid mentality that sees any actor that got naked on set as having surrendered the right to ever say no to doing le sexy sex scenes in the future.

        Similarly, entire careers have sunk in the past because someone who was “le sexy” got naked and afterward was suddenly not seen as tantalizing enough or whatever.

        Halle Berry’s career took a dive after Swordfish, for example.

          Yeah. The Madonna/Whore thing runs extremely, extremely deep. Once you’re “tainted” you’re tainted forever.

          It’s something I really admire about Miley Cyrus - as soon as she was out from under Disney’s thumb she got a flamethrower, burned down her squeaky clean Hannah Montana character, and never apologized.

            Angelina Jolie somehow escaped that terrible stigma by getting naked early and then just owning it and continuing on. Not sure how much of that was luck and how much of that was fighting like hell.

            Same deal with Monica Belluci, but she’s not exactly Burgerland focused.
