I know these pictures of Kathleen Turner naked in the stage production of The Graduate have been posted multiple times over the years, but found this story from co-star Matthew Rhys interesting.
A paparazzi photographer snuck into the audience and photographed her during the nude scene. The cast thought that the show would be stopped and the photographer called out, but everyone continued, and the photos were printed huge in the newspaper the next day.
Quote:
During the 2000 stage performance, an unauthorized photo of Turner appearing nude onstage leaked to the press.
“I think about that moment so often,” Rhys told U.K.’s The Times of not intervening when the flash went off in the audience. Rhys instead looked to co-star Turner to stop the live show.
“We locked eyes for a second, and because she was such a force and spoke her mind very freely and was very direct and straightforward, I thought, ‘If anyone in this world could stop this production, it would be Kathleen Turner.’ And she didn’t,” Rhys continued.
He added, “In retrospect, that was my responsibility in that moment to stop and go, ‘Hang on, that’s not OK.’ Because the next day, in the tabloids, there was a picture of her naked. She wasn’t happy about it, to put it mildly.
