Sarah Jessica Parker was reduced to tears when she was asked to appear naked in a scene.
The 52-year-old actress - who is now widely known for her refusal to shoot nude scenes - has recalled one of the turning points in her hugely successful career, when she stood up for herself by insisting she wouldn't take her clothes off for a movie.
The 'Sex and the City' actress - who starred as Carrie Bradshaw on the iconic HBO series - explained: "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."
