Andie MacDowell Was Terrified Of Stripping Onscreen

I TOTALLY get this. Andie MacDowell stars as District Attorney Monique Lamont in the TV movies 'At Risk' and 'The Front' (based on the Patricia Cornwall books), and her character had some steamy scenes.
"I play a real b***h, I was a narcissistic sex addict and had to sleep with young men. But it was embarrassing because I'm pretty shy and yet I had to look at myself in the mirror and take my clothes off."
At least it was TV, so there's a limit to how much nudity would end up onscreen, I'm guessing :)
Andie said it's hard getting older as an actress in Hollywood.
"We live in a society that sees getting older in a certain way, but I keep trying to tell myself of my value and my worth.
I'm really comfortable with my age, I have no shame about that whatsoever and I'm really comfortable in my skin. I take really good care of myself and I insist to not go away. I want to work because it brings me a sense of self worth and dignity, I like my job."
Are you looking forward to seeing Andie as DA Monique Lamont?

I love Andie...and I'm nuts about the movie Green Card with Gérard Depardieu (my man). I'll probably check out her newest films.

I can't remember the exact quote but she once talked about walking around naked and how her kids were worried she'd embarrass them in front of their friends. Didn't seem so shy back then.

I probably won't watch, but I completely understand where she's coming from on the naked issue. Although a good chunk of modesty went out the window when I had my son.
