[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Minors can’t be filmed nude. 
End of story.[/quote]

Wasn't Brooke Shields nude a few films as a kid? Not to mention a photo album or something, if I'm remembering correctly. She was in Blue Lagoon and then some other movie before that where she lived in a brothel with her (on-screen) mother and was nude quite a lot.

Also, as a teen I remember seeing some coming of age film (can't remember the name) that had a scene with teen boys in a shower, naked.

American Beauty - I believe an underage actress was topless?[/quote]

The laws have changed since Brooke Shields was a child.  Also, it’s not a flat prohibition on all nudity by a minor, otherwise you could never have a shot of a baby’s naked butt.  It has to be nudity with a simulated sexual act.  So Thora Birch could flash her breasts at her neighbor (with a parent’s permission) because it wasn’t shown in connection with a sexual act, but she could not be filmed with her breasts exposed if the scene included simulated sex between her and the neighbor.[/quote]

Yeah Thora Birch's parents were fine with her being topless in the movie at 16. They were both porn performers and so have a different bar for what should or shouldn't be on camera for the world to see. Apparently her dad (who is her manager) gets really involved in her sex scenes and tries to choreograph them with the actual producers / directors. I find it weird to have your dad on set when you are naked and simulating sex but the Birch family is not the norm.

There were quite a few nude teens in early movies but I think since 2003, there are more limitations on what a minor can do. [/quote]
