...must to all movie stars, the nude scene came to Marilyn Monroe. That long-ago calendar shot when she was 17 was almost forgotten, and MM hardly needed the publicity. But it was really in the script of Something's Got to Give, and perfectionist Director George Cukor said no to the flesh-colored "nude suit" Marilyn wanted to wear. Cukor cleared the set of "all males not actually involved in the production," admonished electricians to "turn around," and Marilyn slipped into the pool like Botticelli's Venus, while cameras whirred.

Bunions & Scars. At a house party in Fiedler's masterpiece of fictional illness, Nude Croquet, the middle-aged guests decide to shuck their clothes and play croquet in the buff. In the peep show that follows, the readers see "bulges and creases and broken veins, bunions and scars and grizzled hair . . . Leonard, vaguely hermaphroditic, pudgy and white; Eva, her cross falling just where her pancake makeup gave way to the slightly pimpled pallor of her skin; Achsa, tallow-yellow and without breasts; Beatie, marked with the red griddle of her corseting and verging on shapelessness; Marvin, sallow and unmuscled...

Similarly Sandra Prutting reappears in A United Family dressed in a fur coat with nothing on underneath. But you don't know that; they expect you to believe it. Enough examples ... the point is that...
Branson announced that the HDC will produce three one-act farces under the collective title All Gall in mid-May. One of the plays, Georges Feydeau's Please Don't Walk Around in the Nude, was presented early in March, but so many persons were turned away that the Club decided to present it again. The other farces are Marivaux's The Legacy and Jaques Prevert's The United Family...
