There's never been much of a question as to whether Lena Dunham is comfortable with on-camera nudity, particularly after she appeared in the buff eating cake on a toilet in Sunday's Emmy opening skit.
Dunham also strips down on the regular on her HBO show "Girls," but that doesn't mean that everyone wants to follow suit -- Rita Wilson, who will make an appearance in Season 2 as the mother of Marnie (Allison Williams), stated in her contract for the show that she would not appear naked, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The actress also told Us Weekly that "I [wanted] it put in my contract . . . [They] don't want to see me nude...That's all I have to say. I'm like, 'Don't write in any nudity, please!'"
