On Onscreen and Off, Charlize Is Naked
From Vogue: "Theron's characters often appear on-screen naked. The moments never seem gratuitous—although they can be awkward to speak about with someone you've only known three days. The topic is probably unavoidable this month. In the opening scene of The Burning Plain, Theron walks naked to a wide-open window, where she lights a cigarette, stares into the distance for a while, then looks over at the man in her bed and says dismissively, "Get up." There is no tenderness to it. The sequence made both men and women in test audiences uncomfortable; she felt the same way the first time she read the scene. "But instantly I was interested not only in the story but in this woman, and that came very much from this physical shock of seeing her get up, open the window—again, the physical intrigued me.""
