The Naked Truth: Celebrities Go Nude for Allure
by Catherine Q. O'Neill


CLARE BOWEN


The "Nashville" actress's rule of thumb: "If nudity is for a shock factor, it takes away from what makes it beautiful."





How often are you naked?

Sometimes I sleep naked. Everyone does sometimes, don't they? I hope.





What makes you most excited about seeing these pictures?

My body isn't going to look like this forever. I think it's lovely to have that preservation.





What does this shoot mean to you?

I said they could photograph my scars. This isn't a rite-of-passage thing or a risqué thing. It's about body image and making other people feel good.
