I've got to say I find it absurd that an actor or actress can have their appearances changed by computer after shooting as disney have done to Lindsay Lohans cleavage in the herbe Sequel.To make it more family friendly
Why not film it with more clothing?

I've heard of re-touching for Pictures but have always assumed films apart from body doubles weren't part of this hocus pocus

Makes you wonder how many other cases there are of this type

I can think of a few actresses who's bra size seems to expand on film and come back to earth in real life

They used to use body "doubles" for posters and promo shots, but now just rely on the graphics people to make the stars more stellar.

but thats still just pictures,not film

Judging by sites like mrskin.com their still using body doubles for simulated sex scenes that the prissy little over paid stars won't touch so maybe this tocuh up is a once off knee jerk reaction from some Executive afraid he might incur the wrath of the humble god fearing PAYING public if he ran the flick as filmed

Nudity is still a career killer for some actresses in Hollywood. Particularly for the wholesome types---Ms Lohan, Ms Hathaway and a few others of their type would be cut off by Disney and other "family-oriented" film-makers if they got their puppies out.

Not just the women either---there was a big fuss about the rating Solaris was to be given, just because George Clooney's arse was on show. For all its massive adult film market and so on, you've got to recall that the US was pretty much founded by English puritans, who were joined by other strict religious types over the centuries. The puritanism is part of their nature.

Use sex to sell movies, by all means, but let's not demean our teenage role models by allowing them to go nude.

I've heard that Puritan spin from a few yank actors that have come downunder.Simulated sex scenes are tolerated but saying certain words on TV can get you and your career unwanted attention from the christian right
and those guys play hardball-legally of course but thats the dirtiest kind

Disney would be a spent force if not for the resurgence in family orientated/social messages(we don't want to offend anyone) animated flicks IMHO

As for that hollier than now persona they try to portray,I'm betting they were lining up the likes of Alyssa Milano to be in a vehicle similar to Seventh Heaven and most likely were having kittens when 'embrace of the vampire' came out ;-)

I can only recall Bruce Willis' bald patch being digitally painted over for (I think) The Fifth Element, but you're right, there's probably more.
