Kathy Burke
Nude

Fantasy girls come in all shapes and sizes. Some, like full-figured Kathy Burke, come from across the pond. After studying at the Anna Scher Theatre School, the Camden Town ingénue kicked off her career in the film Scrubbers (1982). She also appeared in the dramas Elizabeth (1998), Sid and Nancy (1986), and Dancing at Lughnasa (1998). However, Ms. Burke carved out her niche in comedies on British TV. Indeed, the boob tube talent is best known for her collaborations with comedian Harry Enfield (Harry Enfield and Chums, Harry Enfield’s Television Programme) and stints with fellow funny ladies Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders (French and Saunders, Absolutely Fabulous). Through the years, the small screen staple revealed her range as a comedian (The Sketch Show Story), host (Shooting Gallery), narrator (Pleasure Island), and ensemble player on sitcoms (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme), dramedies (Common As Muck), and miniseries (The History of Tom Jones: A Foundling). Speaking of the latter, home audiences will get maxi-hard while watching the miniseries Mr. Wroe’s Virgins (1993). Based on the novel by Jane Rogers and directed by Danny Boyle, the plot follows seven women who are given to the leader of a wacky religious cult. Like her cohorts (one of whom is played by a naked Minnie Driver), Kathy must de-robe to be deflowered. As such, she reveals her rack, rump and muff to co-star Jonathan Pryce — and us! No wonder, the Royal Television Society Awards named her Best Actress. Mr. Skin also has a statuette in his pants for Kath!
