Founder of the Hustler empire and subject (along with Francisco Goya, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Andy Kaufman) of a biopic directed by Oscar-winning director Milos Foreman, Larry Flynt was born 66 years ago today in impoverished Magoffin County in Kentucky.

Larry Flynt’s life and career are the stuff of legend, most of it recounted in the movie, which stars Woody Harrelson and Courtney Love.

Sarandon Gives Us a Racky Horror Picture Show for her Birthday

Sixty-two years old? Make that sexty-two.

Titaness of torso tonnage Susan Sarandon turns 62 tomorrow, and what better way to celebrate so many years of being a knockout than getting her knockers out?

We've enjoyed Suz's scrumptious, double D-airylicious charms since her nude turn in 1970's Joe, and this foxy film legend shows no signs of slowing.

After the cut, find out more about Sarandon's naked sar-MAM-dons and where you can see the pic!

It is a testament to Japanese director Takashi Miike’s influence around the world that American horror maven Eli Roth gave him a speaking cameo in Hostel (wearing his trademark sunglasses), despite the fact that he speaks no English.

A legend in the world of extreme cinema and a professed fan of Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers, Takashi is known for filling his movies with graphic violence, perverse sex, and a nostalgia for childhood.

Some of Takashi’s best-known films are the ultra-violent Ichi The Killer, Audition, and Visitor Q.

But Mr. Skin’s favorite is his 1996 crime thriller Fudoh: The New Generation, with its kinky lesbian scene between a nude Miho Nomoto and equally undressed Marie Jinno.

In gratitude, Mr. Skin bows and says, “Happy Birthday, Takashi-san.”

Best known for her acid tongue, razor-sharp wit, and heavy drinking, poetess, writer, and critic Dorothy Parker was a founding member of the Algonquin Roundtable, a group of New York’s leading lights who met for lunch at the Algonquin Hotel to exchange quips and pithy remarks.

Parker’s life inspired the 1994 biopic Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, with Fast Times at Ridgemont High star Jennifer Jason Leigh in the title role.

Not only does the movie expose viewers to the riveting life story of one of the early twentieth century’s most celebrated literary ladies, it also exposes the boobs of Jennifer Jason Leigh and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Few figures from the Golden Age of Porn are more central and more controversial than Chuck Traynor. The cousin of the original Jay from the group Jay and the Americans, Traynor began acted in sexploitation movies like Joe Sarno’s Odd Triangle and Karla in the late 1960s.

From 1971 to 1974, Traynor was married to the original porn star and epitome of porn chic Linda Lovelace, whom he allegedly talked into entering the world of porn, first doing loops like the infamous Dog-Fucker and ultimately starring in the hardcore classic Deep Throat in 1972.

As of today, it's been four years since Lindsay Lohan turned 18 and she still hasn't taken off her clothes in a movie, despite playing a stripper in I Know Who Killed Me. Off camera, she's done just about everything else; carousing in bars, appearing topless in NY Magazine, and engaging in multiple public displays of lesbian affection with her gal-pal. While I appreciate all these things, none of them are going to get her into the Mr. Skin Hall of Fame. Lindsay needs a new motto: "Flashing full frontal or fight!"

Today marks the birthday of three of my favorite actresses: Busty blonde Pamela Anderson, willowy brunette Liv Tyler, and sultry seventies superstar Karen Black. In honor of these lovely ladies, I'd like to take a little stroll down mammary lane and reminisce about my favorite performance from each of these very different skin starlets.

Pamela Anderson
Snapdragon (1993)

After a year of playing chesty lifeguard C.J. Parker on the hit show Baywatch, Pam and her mams hit the big screen with her debut movie Snapdragon. Pam plays a woman with amnesia whose dreams of killing men make her and her shrink suspect that her nightmares may be memories of actual murders she has committed while taken over by a different personality. Pam gives us a good look at her rack and rump as she bangs dude after dude, and that will definitely make you slap your dragon.

Liv Tyler
Stealing Beauty (1996)

Despite being cast alongside alarmingly hot Mr. Skin Hall-of-Famers Stefania Sandrelli and Rachel Weisz, Liv steals the show in Bernardo Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty, showing off her 19-year-old boobs and bush. If she had been born 25 years earlier, maybe Bertolucci would have cast her in Last Tango in Paris (1972) and we could have seen Marlon Brando slip his hot buttered sausage up her back door. And a no-holes barred hardcore method actor like Brando would have done it for real! There will never be another.

Karen Black
Killing Heat (1981)

In the skinful seventies, no one heated up the screen like Karen, making her an obvious choice for the lead in Killing Heat, a sort of worst case scenario Green Acres where a wife's resentment at having been moved by her husband from the city to rural life results in her sleeping with a local bumpkin. In one unforgettable scene, Karen decides to cool herself off by pouring cold water down her fully naked body, exposing boobs and bush in the process. Unfortunately, it backfires, because she still looks pretty damn hot.

Today marks the 84th birthday of Sidney Lumet, a cinematic visionary who has been a presence in Hollywood since the 1950s. While Lumet has directed many classic films. I would especially like to thank him for two of his recent movies that have more than earned a place in the Mr. Skin Hall of Fame. The first is the made-for-cable drama Strip Search (2004), where we got to see a whole (hole) lot of the stunningly beautiful Maggie Gyllenhaal. She serves up mams, muff, and mudflaps repeatedly, thanks to Mr. Lumet's expert direction. The second Hall of Fame flick directed by Skinful Sidney is the 2007 thriller Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, featuring bountiful blasts of butt and bosoms by erstwhile skinflint Marisa Tomei. If he can coax that skin-candescent performance out of Marisa, I've got a long list of perpetually clothed actresses I'd like him to talk to! Happy birthday, Sidney, you god among men!
