Before the digital age, perving out on a steamy movie scene required two VCRs and a lot of patience.
Digital bootlegs have ushered in a climate where the NSFW screencaps are on the Internet before the movie is in theaters. That didn’t stop any of these 14 actresses who stripped down for movie roles from baring it all. We should all be so dedicated to our craft.

Halle Berry – Swordfish
After years of turning down roles featuring nudity, Halle Berry broke out the girls for what we presume was a healthy sum of money in 2001’s Swordfish. The twos were glorious, but even they couldn’t save that awful movie.
Queen Latifah – Bessie
As Bessie Smith, Queen Latifah had both Mo’Nique and Mike Epps sprung. And when Latifah disrobed and showcased the flapjacks, it was easy to see why.
Rosario Dawson – Trance
Kids proved Rosario has never been afraid to “go there” when the role calls for it. In Trance, Ms. Dawson appeared as bare as she was on the day of her birth. Keep that in mind when you’re stocking your Netflix queue.
Kerry Washington – The Last King Of Scotland
Before she was Olivia Pope, Kerry Washington showcased some underrated cakes as Kay Amin. Forget the nude scene, anyone down to lay next to Forest Whitaker naked is obviously committed to the part.
Scarlett Johansson – Under The Skin
Once those leaked selfies hit the Internet, any interested parties had already seen the goodies Johansson displayed in the 2013 sci-fi thriller Under The Skin. That didn’t make them any less appealing to look at.
Angelina Jolie – Original Sin
We know Angelina Jolie has already rocked her birthday suit in Pushing Tin, Gia, and Wanted to name just a few. But the T&A showcased in Original Sin was borderline gratuitous…like naked just for the sake of being naked. That doesn’t mean anyone’s complaining.
Jennifer Lopez – U-Turn
Leave it to Oliver Stone to convince J-Lo to showcase them nalgas on screen. Things got steamy in the 1997 thriller U-Turn when Lopez disrobed for the greater good of thespianism.
Dakota Johnson – Fifty Shades Of Grey
It feels weird that Detective James Crockett’s baby girl was getting piped out in a book adaptation about the greater pleasures of sadomasochism.
Yaya DaCosta – The Kids Are All Right
How random is Hollywood? Yaya DaCosta is an Ivy League alum who has starred on America’s Next Top Model, portrayed Whitney Houston, and shared a love scene with Mark Ruffalo.
Anne Hathaway – Havoc
Any squeaky clean notions people had about Anne Hathaway based on those Disney movies were shattered when she appeared in 2007’s Havoc and caught the “triz-Nathaniel” from a couple barrio boys.
Katie Holmes – The Gift
This actually happened in the middle of Holmes’ Dawson’s Creek run. It stands to reason that Tom Cruise saw the twos and started placing phone calls.
Halle Berry – Monster’s Ball
Four words: “Make me feel good.”
Jennifer Lopez – The Boy Next Door
This thriller won’t go down as any type of cinematic classic, but props to the writer who decided Noah should say, “I love your mother’s cookies.” Those cookies made a brief cameo, and much credit should be given to J-Lo and her trainer.
