It's clear to me she was ok with it. We'll have to ask RR why he didn't take her up on her offer.

Even though you seem to think PH is providing "proof" of a combined decision, from my perspective he is providing proof that in facts points to a lame excuse so that no one looks like a prude.
Piratehunter hasn't proven anything definitively but he has provided more evidence than either of us has of what actually happened. All we know from that interview is she says she was willing to go topless and RR didn't hold her to that since he felt it wasn't necessary. Why you guys think they're lying abou that, I don't know, but even that is speculative. So, we've got more guessing to add to the pile.

Think about it...actress willing to go topless to make movie more authentic to source material vs. director making a decision to not take that option. COME ON!
I guess this gets back to piratehunter's point about using nudity when deemed necessary, right?

Peace...
