Mary-Louise Parker Makes a Splash
Weeds star Mary-Louise Parker made a splash recently when pictures of her topless in a bathtub began to circulate online. They were taken from an episode of the popular Showtime series in which the director wanted the nudity for artistic reasons, to show the character as being vulnerable. Parker wasn’t comfortable with the revealing shot, but filmed it anyway.
“I fought with the director about it, and now I am bitter. I knew it was going to be on the Internet: ‘Mary Louise shows off her big nipples.’ I wish I hadn’t done that. I was goaded into it,” Parker told MORE magazine in an interview for the June issue.
The director considers the scene one of the five best Parker has done with the series and stands by the decision, and while Parker isn’t pleased with this new publicity, she has no plans to quit the show, which starts its fifth season June 8, 2009.
