Sarah Jessica Parker reflected in an interview with People magazine about a time when she was younger, and filmmakers pressured her into doing a nude scene.

“I don’t know if I had confidence or if I was being counseled by people. There was so much pressure for me to take my clothes off,” she said, adding that her team came through for her and made it clear that she didn’t have to do anything she didn’t want to. “My agent [CAA’s Kevin Huvane] sent a car and a plane ticket [to the film set] and he said, ‘If anybody makes you do anything that you’re not comfortable doing, you don’t.’ Given what’s happening now and the stories told from that particular period, I know how lucky I am that there was someone—in this case, a man—who stepped in.”

She didn’t name the movie, but she spoke of a woman who remembered Sarah crying on set. “They were like, ‘Sarah Jessica’s going to be nude tomorrow,’ and I was like, ‘I’m not going to be nude,’” she said.
