Patricia Arquette opened up about shooting a nude scene on Lost Highway

Patricia Arquette recalls her concerns about filming a naked scene for the 1997 film Lost Highway. At the panel discussion at the Series Mania Festival in Lille, France, on Thursday, the Oscar winner described preparing herself for the terrifying naked moments, especially since staff members on set were saying gross things about it.

The 55-year-old actress also claimed that director David Lynch intervened to address the statements at the time. According to Variety, she revealed, "I was so extremely modest that I would take a bath in the dark. The sequence where my character had to strip was horrifying for me. Some of the guys were saying vulgar things, so I told David, 'I'm not comfortable. They're saying gross things.’" She then shared what the director said: "’Read the script. Wait, who said that?’” The Medium actress then added, "When I returned, all these men were looking at their feet, apologizing.”
