10 Famous Actresses Who Regret Stripping Down For Big Roles

6. Mary-Louise Parker

Mary-Louise Parker added plenty of sensuality to her resume during the 8 seasons she appeared as Nancy, a suburban mother and widow who sells marijuana to sustain her lifestyle, on Showtime's Weeds.

The sex scenes involving Nancy were hot, heavy, and quite frequent, especially in the earlier seasons. But Parker doesn't regret performing those scenes, because they added to the storyline and made for some truly dramatic television.

She does, however, regret baring it all in the bathtub during a particularly glum Season 4 episode.

I didn’t think I needed to be naked. 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.

The producers maintain this was meant to showcase Nancy's vulnerability, not Mary-Louise's nipples, referring to this scene as the moment her character hit rock bottom.
