A Field Guide to Samantha Morton

Brit beauty Samantha Morton celebrated her 43rd birthday yesterday, giving us all the excuse we needed to check out her amazing body of work in our latest Field Guide! Samantha is a powder keg of an actress, bringing quiet, steely reserve to many roles, but also going explosively over the top when the situation calls for it! Here's what you'll find in the gallery attached to this post...

Samantha's nude debut came in a 1997 flick titled Under the Skin, not to be confused for the one with ScarJo's nude debut! She bared all, both emotionally and physically, in this intense drama!

Speaking of intense, she next bared all in 1999's Jesus' Son, going completely nude while Billy Crudup attempts to carry her to the shower after she passes out!

2002's Morvern Callar is one of the most underrated and under-seen movies of the last 20 years and contains perhaps Samantha's single greatest performance! She goes nude in the tub a couple of times in the flick and also shows off in some see-through undies!

2003's In America brought Samantha her second Oscar nomination, and we even get a rare PG-13 topless scene from Sam as she horses around with her on-screen hubby! Also that same year she co-starred with Tim Robbins in the sci-fi flick Code 46, going bottomless to show her completely shaved genitalia!

2004's Enduring Love contains her most recent nudity, with Sam giving us a quick peek at her coin slot as she lays on the floor, though you can also catch a quick look at her nipples in a see-through bra in the 2007 Ian Curtis biopic Control!
