In crafting her lavish sexploitation throwback, the comedy, musical, drama film "Viva" (2007), Anna Biller, who served as writer, director, and star, was undoubtedly aware that a unique actress was required to inhabit the role of Nudist Justice Lady. Enter Adrienne O'Sullivan, a fiery redhead who boldly bares all, proudly displaying her ample bosom and meticulously groomed nether regions, paired only with sandals in this pivotal scene. Interestingly, O'Sullivan's acting journey began much earlier in the UK, with appearances in various TV series and short films.

Her debut came as Helen in an episode of "Desmond's" in 1990, followed by Linda in "Up the Garden Path" in 1993. She secured a recurring role as Josie in "Jack of Hearts" in 1999 and portrayed Janice Longmuir in "Without Motive" in 2000. Roles such as Denise in "The Vice" (2001), Alice Bevan in "The Bench" (2002), Ginny Edwards in the TV movie "Hearts of Gold" (2003), and a newsreader in "Tardisodes" (2006) further solidified her presence on screens.

O'Sullivan's first feature film was Biller's "Viva" (2007), followed by roles like Laura Cowan in the TV movie "Cow" (2009) and Jackie in the big-screen flick "Submarine" (2010). Her last known on-screen role, to date, is playing Gillian Bradley in the miniseries "The Reckoning." Indeed, her talent sets her apart.

• Viva (2008)

"Keep in mind, Mr. Skin doesn't feature women on Skin Central due to their Meryl Streep-like acting prowess; even Meryl herself wouldn't have made the cut without her Silkwood nudity. Thus, before tuning into Andrea Lain's clip from the retro comedy-drama-musical Viva (2007), brace yourself for a self-assured woman unabashedly flaunting her stunning assets: pert breasts, a firm posterior, and a hairy pubic region that doesn't quite align with her scalp's hue. An Oscar-worthy performance is not what you'll find here. However, when Andrea's character Kelly appears naked at her neighbors' door, treating viewers to her large, pink areolas, it's a moment deserving of an award for pure, unadulterated heat. She also dances nude onstage with her neighbor and serves as a sex slave in another scene, cradling a man's head between her ample bosom (a makeshift pillow Mr. Skin might envy). Five years after her breakthrough role in Viva, Andrea appeared in one more film, The Question: What Can One Man Do? (2012), playing a martial artist. If you're Mr. Skin or any of his Skin Central cronies, that question holds multiple tempting interpretations."

"Whenever a bell chimes, an angel earns its wings—a sentiment that Jimmy Stewart might agree with during the holiday season. Applying this logic, Mr. Skin posits that each instance of bare breasts on screen causes angels to slightly tilt their wings. If this is accurate, then the film 'Viva' (2007) has created a vast angelic legion with askew halos and feathers bent out of shape, and Anna Simpson is personally accountable for two of those bends. In one scene from this comedic, dramatic, and musical homage to the '70s sexual revolution, Anna's character, 'Nudist Pot Grower,' visits a nudist colony brimming with diverse bodies—a veritable buffet of nakedness. Anna bares not only her treasure chest but also her treasure triangle. Her ample bosom, filled by more than a single handful, boasts ripe areolas and pink nipples juicier than any fruit, accompanied by a bush that's not quite retro '70s but sports more greenery than the marijuana at her feet. Slim hips and barely-there tan lines accentuate Anna's smoldering naked form, making it easier to overlook the other male nudists' dangling parts (which Mr. Skin chooses to ignore). Now, it's time for Mr. Skin to ring some bells and ensure there are enough wings available for further bending."

"Annie McAuley, hailing from San Diego, traded her swimwear modeling career for a stint in Hollywood, debuting her physique in the farcical 'Screwballs II' (1985), also known as 'Loose Screws'. In this first feature-length film, she embodied Nikki Nystroke, posing provocatively with a vibrator and permed hair, clad only in a black-and-white striped bra and G-string, while a poster of David Lee Roth watched over her. She later played Norbecker girl roles in 'Beer' (1985) alongside Loretta Swit and Rip Torn, and Tanya in the softcore spoof 'Recruits' (1986). After a lengthy hiatus, Annie resurfaced as a dead girl in 'Red Room' (1992), and Dani in 'Body Count' (1994) starring Brigitte Nielsen and Jan-Michael Vincent. In 2007, at age 42, she proved her enduring allure in Anna Biller's retro-sexploitation film 'Viva', playing both a topless hot-tub lady and a joint-smoking woman. whispers on the internet suggest Annie became a licensed sex therapist and sex surrogate, or even launched her own entertainment company for production, foreign sales, and talent representation. Some even claim she made uncredited appearances in films like 'The Godfather III' and 'Interview with the Vampire', though her IMDb resume doesn't reflect this. Regardless of these rumors, one thing is certain: Mr. Skin would be delighted to rewatch 'Screwballs II'."
