Nathalie Richard
Nude

When French actress Nathalie Richard decides to go naked, she goes naked. Though she made her acting debut as Venninne in the film Black Crows in 1983, when she was just 20 years-old, she waited until she passed the age of 30 to show off her lean frame, small breasts, and wiry bush. As Viviane in Les amoureux(1994), she’s full-frontal naked and not even remotely shy about it. The pixie-perfect doll repeats her clothes-off performance as Laurence in Confusion of Genders (2000), adding her pretty little rump into the mix as well. Though she scales it back a bit as Suzanne in Le passage (2005), sharing only views of her tiny twosome with substantial nipples, any scene involving Nathalie and nudity is still worth a good, long look. These three films, while deliciously scattered with nudity, are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the acting career of the Paris-born actress, who boasts more than 110 credits on her acting resume, ranging from television to feature films, and everything in between. Audiences in the US might recognize her Mademoiselle Fournier in A Soldier’s Daughter (1998) with Kris Kristofferson and Barbara Hershey, as Charlotte de Persand in The Divorce(2003) with Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts, or as Madame in the film Never Let Me Go (2010) with Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan, and Andrew Garfield. In France, she has worked as Zoé with Maggie Cheung in Irma Vep (1996), as Mathilde in Code Unknown (2000) with Juliette Binoche, and as Brigitte in Nearest to Heaven (2002) with Catherine Deneuve and William Hurt. Funny, since heaven is exactly what Mr. Skin was thinking of when he watched Nathalie in those skinematic successes.
