While the Chernobyl and Challenger disasters dominated the nightly news, 1986 was actually a great year for the nightly nudes. In 1986 Bond babe Kim Basinger brought softcore back into the mainstream with 9 1/2 Weeks, centerfold queen Penny Baker made her (onscreen) nude debut, and the world was skintroduced to "la grande bouche", Beatrice Dalle, who stripped down for an astounding 10 nude scenes in Betty Blue. All in all, a happy nude year!
Few nude debuts are as sexplosive as Kim Basinger's passionate perv-formance in the kinky softcore flick 9 1/2 Weeks...
...though Cynthia Gibb's big-breasted bedroom scene with Rob Lowe in Youngblood sure tries.
We love a nice, steamy shower scene here at Skin Central, and a group shower? Even better! Here to guide us through the tangled web of TA that is Reform School Girls is former Penthouse model Michelle Bauer, who's bared her ass-ets on screen an amazing 65 times.
Another actress straight out of the men's magazines is Penny Baker, aka Playboy's Miss January 1984, who made the leap onto the silver screen with The Men's Club.
She never appeared in Playboy, but Beatrice Dalle, who made her nude debut in 1986's Betty Blue, is still a lusty legend.
It won't take 9 1/2 Weeks to watch them all, but there's still lots more boobs, bush and butt in Mr. Skin's Favorite Nude Scenes of 1986 playlist!
