I think this is kinda on the topic. Several years ago I heard Tina Louise, Ginger from Gilligan's Island for those who don't know, tell the story of her one and only "nude" scene. She said it happened on the set of Gilligan's Island. One episode Gilligan and the Skipper had built a shower. I actually do remember seeing that episode. The shower stall was built from bamboo. The scene required her to take a shower. Usually in that day and time, the actress would either wear a bikini or one piecer with the tops straps pulled down, or she would do it topless with just bottoms on. But either the director or producer, I don't remember which one she said, demanded that she do it fully nude. At first she refused, then eventually gave in. So she gets nude, puts on a robe, walks out onto the set, takes the robe off, and walks into the shower stall. Now obviously nothing good was going to be shown on TV in that day and time. She said the only thing she remembers about it is that there seemed to be a lot more guys on the set that day than there normally were. I remembered thinking that if that had happened in this day and time, there would be cell phone pics and videos of it all over the net within 24 hours.
Anybody that knows anything about the show, and Tina Louise, knows that she hated doing the show, and was a constant source of friction on it. She said the only reason she could think of why they insisted she do that scene nude, was to get back at her for causing them so much trouble.
