[Bounci]

Another actress ending up stripped in the world of films, this video clip is from The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) and it sees Sondra Locke on the end of a stripping by a gang of cowboys. Her family had been somewhat snooty about Josey (Clint Eastwood) and here he can only watch on with his weapon cocked and ready (steady now!) as Sondra is discovered hiding in a wagon, dragged out and then has her top stripped open, exposing her breast. Then, once she is on the floor they set about pulling down her skirt, exposing her bottom as she tries in vain to stop them before the gang leader intervenes before Clint can pull his trigger. He even tells her to cover herself when she goes to comfort her mother and has her backside on display!

For Sondra Locke, despite a noticeable debut in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968) it was Josey Wales that kickstarted her career, which goes to show that stripping off on screen is the right way to go about it. It also started a long professional and personal relationship with co star and director Clint Eastwood in a number of films, including The Gauntlet (1977), Every Which Way But Loose (1978) (both in which she bared flesh in) and Sudden Impact (1983) before it all went sour between her and Clint. She didn't do another film for 14 years after 1986 before returning to the screen in 2000 before another soujourn until 2017 when she appeared in her last film, Ray Meets Helen, before her death the following year in 2018 of a heart attack. She was 74.
