Top 10 Shakespearean Sirens

As someone who studied Shakespeare pretty intensively, taking no fewer than three courses in college covering his work, I felt it was time to class up the weekly Top 10. This week, we've got 10 of the hottest women ever to tackle the Bard on screen, and I've even managed to avoid the obvious ones like Kate Winslet and Helen Mirren, who could have easily topped the list. Without further ado, here are the top 10 ladies who have appeared in a Shakespeare film adaptation and appeared nude—elsewhere—on screen.
