I personally don't have a problem with naked bodies on television.
I took my clothes off when I was young. I showed everything, full-frontal nudity. It's the thing I've done in my career that I'm most proud of.
It was a perfect part for me. We were absolutely freezing. It was shot in the winter in the north of England. There were lots of girls in it with me. We all did the full frontal.
It wasn't sexual in its element. I wasn't being exploited. I was doing what happened. It was very challenging because I played Phyllis from 15 years old to 53 when she died of breast cancer.
She gets caught up in a situation that she's the center of, and she manages to get out, solve and save someone. Sort of like marriage, isn't it?
That Days of Our Lives thing for a week nearly killed me.
The curtains would open and it would be just her standing in some ludicrous pose, like Aphrodite.
We've all listened to Dr. Laura Schlessinger, haven't we? We all know how not to play a psychiatrist.
What I've left the world will be my children, who are beautiful and wonderful people. I hope they will do good things on the planet.
When I get to my deathbed, I don't want to take my last breath and say, Well, how glorious. I've left the world my acting credits. I won't even think that.
