While I was browsing the internet, I noticed one of my oft visited nude clips sites update included nude scenes from “Psycho IV: The Beginning” (1990). In addition to Olivia Hussey, actress “Sharen Camille” went topless. I never heard of “Sharen Camille” so I had to go looking. Her movie career was very brief: 1990 -1998, although she resurfaced in 2010 for the 20th anniversary of Psycho IV. Did some digging about her. She is still active in singing and regional theatre in the Baltimore MD area, married to a physician (he’s at John Hopkins), and the mother of a 10 year-old son. I found this very interesting interview from 2010 where she was asked about her nude scene. Seems that scene cost her a personal relationship…..
Sharen Camille of Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990) fame: “Sexual stuff wasn’t that bad, but the nudity was a big issue”
Q: Was it an issue for you to do nudity at the time?
SC: I would say that the sexual stuff wasn’t that bad, but the nudity was a big issue. That was definitely something that I had to think long and hard about- I hadn’t before that time really thought about where I stood philosophically on it.
I never thought something like that would come up for me. When it happened in the context of how much time I had in the film, what I was doing, and the people I was working with, I didn’t feel at all like I was just doing some television B-movie with gratuitous nudity, so I was able to feel okay about it. Now, the guy that I was dating at the time completely flipped out, and it was a really bad situation for me in terms of my personal life. Professionally, I don’t feel like I’ve lost any parts or credibility because of it. It was awkward at the time. (Full Interview)
