Posted on November 25th, 2008 by Hot Momma
52-year-old Kim Cattrall, who regularly stripped off for her television role on Sex And The City, is still up to the challenge. Called upon to strip off her clothes for a worthy cause – to save a valuable artwork – she went topless alongside a troupe of nubile twenty-something performers from the Courtauld Institute and theater production La Clique.
BBC Two’s The Culture Show teamed up with artist and photographer Tom Hunter to create a modern day version of of Titian’s masterpiece Diana and Actaeon.
Hunter is well known for his recreation of old masters and is the only photographer to have had an exhibition at the National Gallery, London. The Culture Show challenged Hunter to create a 21st century version of the painting after he came out in support of the campaign to raise $75 million to keep it on public display in Britain. Hunter features Cattrall as Diana in the picture alongside art students from the Courtauld Institute and performers from the hit West End burlesque show La Clique.
Tom said: ‘Kim is the perfect Diana. Just like the Greek goddess, she combines beauty with a sense of threat.
‘She was a great sport and at 52 made an amazing Diana. She more than held her own among a room full of twenty-somethings….
The Culture Show featuring the collaboration will be screened on BBC TWO on Tuesday 25th November at 10.00pm. You can catch photos of Kim topless by following the link here.
