Sandrine Bonnaire
Nude

A funny thing happens when you watch Police (1985). No, not the TV reality show or the new wave band, but the French film starring Sophie Marceau. What occurs is udder disappointment because sexy Sophie for once doesn’t flash her floppers. But sometimes victory is snatched from the jaws of defeat, and in this case that snatch belongs to the nakedly ambitious Sandrine Bonnaire. It is in every American’s breast interest to get to know this usually naked and never-trimmed Parisian pretty. She first came on the scene after rising to the top from the flood of adolescent hopefuls looking for a role in À nos amours (AKA To Our Loves) (1983). And viewers came creamy buckets thanks to her ample skin. She won a César, which is the French version of the Academy Award, for her performance. But because of her nudity in that flick, and in subsequent films like Tir à vue (AKA Shoot on Sight) (1984), Vagabond (1985), Le Milleur de la vie (AKA A Better Life) (1985), and La Peste (AKA The Plague) (1992), it’s obvious this baguette-pleaser deserves an Anatomy Award. It’ll have to be honorary, though, because Sandrine hasn’t gotten naked on screen in nearly three decades. She’s acted in dozens of projects since then, including the movies Secrets Shared with a Stranger (1995), The Color of Lies (1999), Mark of an Angel (2008), and Three Days and a Life (2019), but has stayed inconspicuous as far as skin goes. Here’s hoping Bonnaire will give us another boner.
