She has done nude scenes in movies, but now she posed with her clothes very much on.
Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban were expecting their first child.
The actress quickly pulled out of starring in the film The Reader. She would have appeared naked in several scenes but couldn't begin filming once she became pregnant.
She would have been filming while she was three and four months pregnant and considered it unseemly to continue, plus she wanted to rest as much as possible in those early stages.
She was very upset that she couldn't do the movie and had, long before she realised she was carrying a baby, spent several days meeting with director Stephen Daldry going over details of the woman she was to have played.
Apart from being pregnant the part would have left her emotionally drained.
Particularly as the film's main focus is that of a German woman, who works as a tram conductor, having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old schoolboy.
The film is set in post-war Germany and the young teen's erotic awakening by this woman is central to the novel's exploration of post-war guilt and Germany's reconstruction.
Kate Winslet has now taken on the part.Interestingly, Kate was the first choice but then couldn't sign on because of a scheduling conflict. But it came her way again when Nicole became pregnant.

Nicole's expected to be back in front of movie cameras when she plays part of the ensemble cast of the movie musical Nine which begins filming on studio sound stages in London in September.
There's no call for nudity in that one,although the story is very sexy.
