[edit] Toplessness and legality

I've removed this statement:

Interestingly she performed several topless scenes in the film Keeping Mum at an age below that of eighteen. Which is illegal in most countries.

This seems somewhat dubious. Perhaps depiction of toplessness is illegal in under-eighteens in the USA and some other countries, but this cannot be extended to the rest of the world. --Tony Sidaway 04:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't know what state-law would be in the US, but there would be 50 different laws in the US, let alone abroad. Also, as the film is British, the filming would fall under our jurisdiction, which allows nudity at 16. I should point out this was part of the joke when she's caught by her mum in the van during Keeping Mum with the line about being 17 and it being legal for a year.

It can't have been too much problematic in even the US, as the movie aired there too, AFAIK in an uncut form. She was 16 at the time by the way, and she was legally allowed to do that stuff even without parental consent according to UK laws. And one indeed also need to make the distinction between nudity and pornography here. Artistic nudity like in this case is often very relaxed, and I've seen prepubescent children star in such cases. -- Northgrove 12:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
