Otherwise, why would there be a need for concern at all?

Ok, when I say “care” about the actors, I mean that in an all encompassing way. There is no harm in stills of her on the net as long as the scene isn’t gratuitous.

I was just saying in general, since film is a collaborative art, the director should care about the well being of his collaborators. That has nothing to do with the nudity.

Not necessarily. I just think it should be discussed. Say a director really wanted a certain actor for a role and the film called for nudity. The director could look at that scene and ask himself/herself if the scene was really needed for the film. That’s all I’m saying. If a big name star is in the film and doesn’t want to do the nude scene, but the film really does require it, then I think it’s time to look for another actor that shares this view.
