Julie Goodyear gets her kit off on stage

I wasn't all that surprised to hear that Julie Goodyear was game for stage nudity. She's always impressed me as a woman that would expose herself, good or bad, for her art. She'd often appear in Corrie without makeup for scenes that would take place in the morning.

Anyway, she's got a part in a new production of Calendar Girls for a 10 week run. This of course, is the story of a group of women belonging to a North Yorkshire chapter of the Women's Institute posed naked for a calendar to raise money for a local hospital. The play in the West End is already ongoing but will have a cast change on November 3.

Another former Coronation Street star, hunky Rob James-Collier, who played Liam Connor, will also be joining the cast. I don't think he gets his kit off. More's the pity!
