She appeared in 28 films between 19 and in television series. Sisse Reingaard originally wanted to be a ceramicist but she started acting in Stig Lommer revues in the theater in the mid-1960s. They clearly paved the way for the newer generations of actresses who now enjoy more freedom and more respect than their elders did before them, even if there is still a lot of room for progress in that area. This list could easily be renamed "the actresses who had the guts to do it". Which brings us back to the respect and admiration they deserve, not only for their beautiful plastic and their acting skills but also for their exceptional courage. What is clear is that this kind of risk-taking can make or break an actress. If anything, it puts an emphasis on their degree of resilience, on their incredible determination and on how much they are ready to sacrifice to reach their dream or simply to make a living. This list is humbly attempting to bring some answers and to show actresses who go to such extremes under a different light. The saddest example of all probably being Karin Schubert who went from the limelight of big movie productions and the promise of stardom to the darkest limbos of the porn industry, which led her to a life of misery, loneliness, mental breakdown and eventually to her death by suicide. But for others, it had dire consequences. Was is consented? Was it under pressure? Was it to kickstart a career, to rekindle a career on the decline, or because the role was compelling and powerful? Were the nude scenes gratuitous and voyeuristic or supporting the storyline and the character development? Was it a liberating and enjoyable experience for the actress or was it hell? Did she quit the industry or did she become famous? It can be a spectacular career boost and place an unknown actress on Hollywood's most talked about list in a matter of days, which is what "Basic Instinct" did for Sharon Stone. It is enlightening to find out what were the circumstances in which actresses allowed themselves to be put in such vulnerable situations and how it helped or damaged their careers and private lives. It is the viewer's responsibility to be aware of the personal cost behind an actress' career, especially when the information is public knowledge. This is when an actress is at her most vulnerable and when she can be more easily convinced that this is a necessary step towards stardom. So why do they do it? Each circumstance is unique but it very often coincides with a young actress who is at the start of her career. Surely, exposing their intimate parts and even sometimes performing sexual acts with complete strangers in front of an entire film crew, something that will be watched by millions afterwards, is probably not what actresses have in mind when they take acting classes. This list is meant as an eye-opener as to what went on in background during the making of the movies which dared to push the boundaries in their time when it comes to nudity and sexuality in the cinema and television industry. Venturing outside of what is viewed as acceptable as a general consensus can be an exciting experience but it generally means being subjected to some form of censorship and it can be disturbing for the spectators and the artists themselves if not done with respect and trust. Antiniska Nemour #64 (1st January 2024)Įxploring the boundaries of arts should be encouraged, be it in painting, sculpting, photography, dance or cinema, for the sake of the freedom of expression and because it is the only way arts can evolve but it can be a risky undertaking.It is being updated in a chronological order.
