Katharine Ross
Nude

Born in Hollywood, Katharine Ross was made to be a star. She studied acting in San Francisco and took to the stage, and even her early work was skintastic. In a production of Jean Genet’s play The Balcony, the young starlet appeared fully nude! Katharine later made her way to film, and boy oh boy, did she make a splash! A whole generation graduated from girls to women once they saw Katharine as elegant beauty Elaine Robinson in The Graduate (1967). The role made her a star, but sadly, Katharine’s next roles were just window dressing. She appeared in films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) to little fanfare. Fortunately, this inspired the dark beauty to head overseas for Le Hasard et la violence (1974), where Katharine combined a gritty role with nude footage of herself in her prime. Then the sultry stunner came back to America to prove that plastics really were the future in the spooky film The Stepford Wives (1975). Katharine was equally sexy as both a scantily clad housewife and as a huge-breasted replacement model. We’ll take one of each to go! Ross went boss again in The Betsy (1978), in which guys started tripping once her infant got to sipping (interestingly, she was also featured in the instructive 1987 video Breastfeeding Your Baby: A Mother’s Guide). Sadly, the selective Ms. Ross — who has aged magnificently — wasn’t interested in stripping onstage as Mrs. Robinson in the recent stage version of her breakthrough film.
