Gina Gershon Passed on Nudity in Friday the 13th Part 2, Calling It Exploitative
Gina Gershon explains in her memoir AlphaPussy why she declined a topless lead in Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), describing the nudity as exploitative and insisting it should serve the story; she credits her father for teaching her to trust her own decisions, and notes she later rose to prominence with roles like Cristal Connors in Showgirls.
