However, things were different for her back then. She continued, “I wouldn’t do it today, it’s the last thing in the world I would do now. I also am married for 37 years, I wasn’t married then. I’m a mother of children. Absolutely not.”

However, she joked that while she will never go nude for a role again, she does like to show a little skin, especially during red carpet events. She admitted, after wearing a dress with a plunging neckline, “You know, once in a while, everybody needs to come out, get a little sunshine. They are now well-fed. They are back in the stable. They don’t need to come out for another five years.”
