Hayden Panettiere Gets Naked: Bad Career Move?

Marilyn Monroe did it, she got naked -- as did countless other actresses as they climbed that proverbial Hollywood latter. Heroes star Hayden Panettiere is the latest actress to get naked in the movie I Love You, Beth Cooper. Did she just make a terrible career move, or will it make her more famous than ever?

Some actresses take it all off very early in their careers just to get a foot in the door, some pose nude once they've already become famous (such as Farrah Fawcett), and some have appeared nude many times throughout their career, never making a big deal out of it. TV shows such as Nip/Tuck and True Blood regularly feature nude scenes (some of these scenes are on the verge of soft porn).

Each decade brings with it a different perspective on the subject, and everyone has his or her own opinion. In general, have we accepted or rejected the idea of the naked body on the big and small screen? Going forward as a society, will we become so desensitized by nudity that it won't faze us anymore?
