15 actresses who debuted with memorable nude scenes (With Pictures)

8. Marlee Matlin

Matlin is part of that elite club to win an Oscar for her debut role which also showcases her underrated body. In Children of a Lesser God, she plays a deaf woman who forges a romance with a new teacher (William Hurt). The two would gel together (even dating for a while in real life) and Matlin attacks her first movie with terrific passion, from her furious signing to real depth and making you feel for her character. She shows no shame, especially with the memorable scene where she strips down to skinny-dip in front of Hurt and later a great love scene. Earning the Oscar, Matlin’s gone on to a good career as more than just a “deaf actress” with roles on The L Word and others to show you don’t have to hear to be sexy as hell.
