Heidi Schanz
Nude

The name Heidi Schanz conjures images of a girl spinning and singing on top of a hill in Austria, but the only hills this blonde-haired beauty is familiar with are the ones in Hollywood, having grown up a native California girl in Los Angeles County. The actress has the distinction of picking films that hit it big, or had big strs, and she did it right from the start of her career, with the HBO feature film Body Language (1995) starring Tom Berenger. She played Pandora “Dora” Circe, a stripper who tempts Tom into several sexy scenarios, including bare-breasted moments that still have Mr. Skin weeping with joy. (And no, the film didn’t become a blockbuster, but it was big for Skin Central, so it counts.) Next up was the film Se7en (1995) with Brad Pitt, with tantalizing Tess as a pride victim; then Virtuosity (1995) with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, with Tess as Sheila 3.2. The come-hither cutie then did Underworld (1995), where her character Joyce Alt/Simone appears in the opening scene, standing in a red lingerie set on a stage, slowly stripping off her bra while the credits flash across the screen, and Joe Mantegna winks at her. She was Megan Murphy in Kiss the Girls(1997) with Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd; Vivien in The Truman Show (1998) with Jim Carrey; had a starring role as Erin in Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) with Jean-Claude Van Damme; played Maura in Shame, Shame, Shame (1999) with Costas Mandylor; and was Teri in Final Voyage (1999) with Ice-T. So, no, no Austrian hills—only the one on Tess’s chest (you knew Mr. Skin was going there; why act surprised?).
