A refined tropical blend of British and Costa Rican parentage, sultry, cocoa-colored brunette screen star Madeline Stowe's career has been a journey into nudity. She started out projecting both virginal and maternal qualities (always fully clothed) in The Nativity (1978) at the tender age of twenty. Stowe matured steadily, revealing more of herself on a learning curve that is as full and sensually lulling as the contour of her hips. Start with Stakeout (1987) for a lingering, panoramic ass shot that displays Stowe's stowaway from every which way. Move on to Short Cuts (1993). A far more confident and consummate professional pretends to be a fully, frontally nude figure model. Studying the craft really pays off!
