Mary Louise Parker Opens Up About Nudity in Weeds
Mary Louise Parker is fast becoming the second name for Weeds TV Show. You simply can not speak about Weeds without speaking about Parker. And she would never let go of any chance to speak about the show or her role in it. In a recent interview, she opened up and spoke quite candidly about her nude scene in the season 4 finale and the controversy that followed her interview with More Magazine.
In response to the reports that gave the impression that she regretted doing that nude scene parker said, “They made it sound like I was like, ‘They made me take my clothes off and chained me to the bathtub.”
In the scene under scanner, Nancy Botwin was shown sitting in the tub and reflecting on many obstacles she was facing at that point of time. The long takes did not shy away from Botwin’s nakedness- physical as well as emotional.
The excerpts of More article, ironically entitled “I Like to Reveal Myself,” appeared on the net quoting the actress saying that she didn’t think she needed to be naked, and that she had fought with the director about it, which made her bitter.
Parker, who repeatedly sang the praises of the show’s creative team said, “It made it seem like we were fighting, and nobody’s fighting,”
Instead, she said, “I was talking about that scene as an example of something I didn’t love as much when I saw it because they kept cutting back and I was naked - but they liked the position of it.”
But Parker wanted to be clear that it wasn’t the nudity that had bothered her.
We have absolutely no doubts about that babe and we have not yet forgotten your Esquire photo shoot. Neither are we complaining about it. For that matter, we would not mind such creative scenes in future.
Here’s what she had to say about her character on Weeds, Nancy Botwin in the upcoming season–
“I feel like she has a little bit more conscience and a little more direction. I mean, I wouldn’t go crazy. She’s not, like, totally living for somebody else, but I think there’s a little shift there.”
