Despite only being on air for one season, the television series My So-Called Life became a cultural phenomenon, thanks to its depictions of real high school issues like homophobia and substance abuse. This mid-90s drama walked so Euphoria could run, giving audiences the teen angst of the grunge era and launching a few new Hollywood careers in the process.

Three decades later, Mr. Skin is answering the question on everybody’s mind - did the stars of My So-Called Life get nude later in their so-called lives? The answer is yes, and if you keep scrolling, you can see it all faster than you can say Lollapalooza!
Claire Danes Nude
The breakout star of the show playing moody high school Angela Chase, Claire would first flash some nip in 1998’s Polish Wedding, but that was just the beginning of her naughty nude career. In 2004, she’d show both boobs and butt while getting it on with Billy Crudup in Stage Beauty, the film that sparked their scandalous real-life relationship. She also let Steve Martin feel up her naked backside in 2005’s Shopgirl, and uncovered her caboose while on the spy series Homeland. Claire’s been bare quite a lot!

A.J. Langer Sexy
She may have portrayed the more free-spirited character Rayanne on My So-Called Life, but A.J. is one of the few who hasn’t gone free of her clothes! In real life, she’s actually a buttoned-up Brit and even married an Earl (Charles Courtenay, 19th Earl of Devon), so though we’ve never seen her royal rack, at least we did get a glimpse of her in a skimpy bikini on an episode of Baywatch. How very 90s of her!

Devon Odessa Nude
The woman behind Sharon, Angela’s childhood friend, closed out the 90s in our favorite way - going topless while in bed post-lesbian lovemaking! Yep, Devon gave sexy, sapphic skin the ol’ college try in The Sterling Chase in 1999. She still pops up on screen every now and again but sadly hasn’t popped her top since.

Bess Armstrong Nude
Angela’s mom has got it going on - at least she did in the 80s. Bess delivered a pair of nude scenes before playing Mrs. Patty Chase, first while skinny dipping in 1981’s The Four Seasons, and then again in 1984’sThe House of God, where she strips down to her undies next to a cadaver. When her perky pair comes out, that dead body isn’t the only thing that’s stiff!

Lisa Wilhoit Sexy
She’s mostly known for her VoiceOver work now, but the actress who played Angela’s little sis Danielle jumped into bed as soon as she got grown for the raunchy comedy National Lampoon’s Adam and Eve. We almost see her apples at one point, but Lisa’s long hair is covering the best bits.
