Mary Gross
Nude

Mary Gross is one funny lady. But the laughs are delivered from a figure that pleases both the funny bone and that other bone, too. She parlayed her improvisational comedy skills, which she honed at the Second City, into a gig on Saturday Night Live from 1981 to 1985. She followed that with more prime time exposure such as playing “Abigail MacIntyre” on The People Next Door, “Phoebe Trillman” on Billy, and “Mrs. Quick” on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. But a bawdy broad like Mary was destined to shake her funny-maker in the more skin-friendly environs of cinema. She appeared in such scandalously-titled productions as Club Paradise (1986), Casual Sex? (1988), and Hot to Trot (1988). In the first of those flicks, Mary gets topless on a beach. She starts with her back to the camera, but she turns to reveal a lot of sideboob and the tiniest bit of nip before Robin Williams covers it up. After her quick brush with nudity, Mary played a comedic foil in such successes as The Santa Clause (1994), 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002), and A Mighty Wind (2003). Unsurprisingly, she’s not naked in any of them. More unsurprising is the lack of nudity in her animated projects. Mary voiced characters in Animaniacs, The Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold!, Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child, As Told by Ginger, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Pound Puppies, and many other obviously skinless shows. It’s a shame she’s covered up, because Mary is anything but Gross.
