The Hottest Actresses Who Have Played Strippers
List of sexy celebrities and movie stars who have taken it off on film. There is a long, proud history of hot strippers and striptease scenes in movies and television. In fact, some of the most infamous and celebrated nude and erotic scenes in film and TV history are set inside strip clubs. Several series have even made strip clubs a central location, from "The Sopranos" famed Bada Bing club to Orlando's from "The Wire." This list collects photos of some of the hottest stripper performances in film and TV history, from some of the sexiest actresses of today and yesteryear.
For modern audiences, there are really 3 stripper performances that - good or bad - have been elevated to an iconic level. The first is Demi Moore's turn in "Striptease," an adaptation of Carl Hiassen's novel about a struggling single parent whose temporary stripper job leads her into a web of political corruption. The film became notable mainly because of Moore's record-shattering $12.5 million salary for the role - at that time, the most an actress had ever been paid to make a single film. Elizabeth Berkley also famously starred in "Showgirls" only one year earlier for director Paul Verhoeven. This role in the notorious movie - which had developed a considerable cult following in the ensuing years - totally upended the actress' previous teen starlet image from years starring on "Saved by the Bell," and essentially killed her career. And speaking of dead careers, Lindsay Lohan's turn as a stripper suffering some sort of mysterious split-personality/amnesia disorder in "I Know Who Killed Me" also stopped her career dead in its tracks.

Marisa Tomei Added by: Trent Walker
In one of the highlights of her career - no, seriously - Marisa Tomei stars in The Wrestler (2008) as Pam by day, Cassidy by night. She appears basically nude in many scenes, wearing an open-weave mesh top, a silver thong, fishnet tights, red sequined panties, or basically nothing at all except nipple rings and massive back tattoos. It's a seriously great movie, and congratulations to Marisa Tomei for being that hot well into her forties.

Demi Moore Added by: Trent Walker
Long before she posed for Ashton Kutcher's Twitpics / divorced him, Demi Moore shocked critics and won the Golden Raspberry for the 1996 "sex comedy" Striptease. Wait, who cares about her acting? She was HOT. A former FBI secretary (lol), Moore's character's best act involves stripping from a full business suit down to just about nothin but sequins.
The more you know: This was the sixth time Moore was topless on film.

Shannon Elizabeth Added by: Trent Walker
Dish Dogs (2000) is a direct-to-video rom-com that stars Matthew Lillard. Is that all you need to know about it? Well, yes, except that Shannon Elizabeth is also on the cover of the DVD in a black bikini. She does a James Bond-style striptease in tall boots, and while she doesn't show any more of her naked body than she did in American Pie (because there's nothing left), there is something to be said for leaving a little to be desired.

Eva Amurri Added by: Trent Walker
In 2009, Eva Amurri appeared in "Californication" as a young sexy stripper named Jackie. Despite the pleas of Hank Moody (David Duchovny), Amurri gets topless on screen as she works the stage, and for that, I am grateful.
Did you know that Eva Amurri is Susan Sarandon's daughter? I see a resemblance.

Rose McGowan Added by: Trent Walker
Looking very much like how Wonder Woman still looks in my dreams, Rose McGowan in Planet Terror (2007) writhes around on stage in a red leather something lined with gold. This is, of course, before her leg gets ripped off by zombies and she replaces it with a grenade launcher. Why do none of my lady friends ever want to watch this movie?
