Hudson Leick
Nude

For centuries, the spin on women was that they were the gentler sex, given to minimizing conflict, bringing forgiveness and diplomacy where strife and resentment might reign, but that was before Xena: Warrior Princess burst upon the Zeitgeist in 1996 and wiped all that sweet-and-sassy propaganda away. Blonde and bodacious Hudson Leick can look like a bowl of sugared cream poured into the body of a waking wet dream, and she played that look to perfection as “Shelly Hanson” on Melrose Place (1995), but it was when she put on cleavage-enhancing armor and picked up a sword in 1995 as “Callisto,” the Queen of Battle, on Xena: Warrior Princess that Hudson transformed into a dangerous and delightful archetype for a new, nasty femininity. Born on May 9, 1969, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and raised in Rochester, New York, Hudson started out working as a model in Japan. Eventually, she tired of posing and gave acting a shot instead. We’re lucky she did, especially because Hudson’s lesbian face-suck with beautiful Bellamy Young in One, Two, Many (2008) renders nearby observer Stuttering John Melendez speechless. You’ll know how he feels. She also got nude in the tantalizingly-titled comedy Something About Sex (1998) and bares her breasts once again in the mystery The Last Hand (1997). In addition to her acting work, Hudson has been studying yoga for over sixteen years and has also been teaching yoga for most of that time, primarily at the Healing Heart Yoga Center.
