Mary-Louis Parker, the beautiful, confident star of the Showtime series "Weeds" (which starts its fifth season June 8), has always been comfortable with sex scenes, but getting completely naked for the camera is an entirely different story. The actress revealed that a scene from last year’s finale, in which she is nude in the bathtub, made her uncomfortable.

"I didn’t think I needed to be naked, and I fought with the director about it, and now I’m bitter," she tells More in an interview that will appear in the June issue. "I knew it was going to be on the Internet: ‘Mary Louise shows off her big nipples.’ I wish I hadn’t done that. I was goaded into it.” Sadly, at the time of this writing, "Mary Louise shows off her big nipples" sits at the No. 3 spot on Google Trends.

"Weeds" co-executive producer, Roberto Benabib, defended the scene, stating that the nudity was necessary to convey the character’s vulnerability. "We felt at that point in her life, defenses had been so thoroughly stripped away," he says. "There was a nonchalance to the nudity that informed the scene … I thought it was wonderful, one of the five best scenes Mary-Louise has ever done [on Weeds]."  

Though Parker was upset, the actress really had nothing to be ashamed about. Parker, a mother of two (William Atticus Parker, 5, and adopted daughter Caroline "Ash," 1) has the body of a goddess. And plastic surgery has nothing to do with it.

“Somebody told me that they’d read that I had all this work done and showed me a picture, and it was totally airbrushed … It made me so mad. I don’t like what that says to other women. I’m 44, and I look OK for 44. I’m not trying to look 34.”
