Mary Louise Parker Is Always Naked, Loves Outdoor Sex & Cherry Pie
Mary-Louise Parker wants to set the record straight: She loves being naked.
The star of Showtime’s Weeds (Season 5 premieres Monday, June 8 at 10 pm/ET) is speaking out in response to a recent interview with More magazine that gave the impression that she regretted doing a nude scene in the Season 4 finale episode. “They made it sound like I was like, ‘They made me take my clothes off and chained me to the bathtub,’” Parker says.
In the scene in question, Parker’s character, suburban single mom/drug queenpin Nancy Botwin, sits in the tub and reflects on the many obstacles she faces. The long takes do not shy away from Botwin’s nakedness — both physical and emotional.
The More article, which was excerpted online under the ironic headline of “I Like to Reveal Myself,” quotes the actress as saying that she didn’t think she needed to be naked, and that she fought with the director about it, which made her bitter.
