Sopranos Star Keen to Strip on Camera  1/7/07

The Sopranos star Jamie-Lynn Sigler is prepared to strip on camera - despite unequivocally refusing to do onscreen nudity just a few years ago.

The 25-year-old admits she would need to drink alcohol before a scantily clad shoot to summon up extra courage, but adds her change in opinion over nude scenes is down to growing up.

She says, "When I was 21, I would have said, 'Absolutely not, no way.' But now I'm 25; I'm learning so much about myself every day.

"I'd probably be a nervous wreck beforehand and have to have two glasses of wine, but who knows?

"If it was appropriate and necessary, why not?"
