True Blood vampire queen Evan Rachel Wood said that she struggled getting in the buff for her nude scenes in her HBO mini-series, Mildred Pierce.

She said that she had Kate Winslet to thank for helping her gear up for the nude parts in the series. The project is about a divorced single mother, played by Kate, who decides to open her own restaurant. The daughter, played by Evan, is against the idea, which strains their relationship.

Evan said that Kate helped her relax throughout the filming. She said, “She coached me through my first nude scene. I mean, she’s done it all. She was literally next to the camera going thumbs up.”

On the same topic, Kate said, “You keep the room as empty as possible. Just kind of being there for her, really, and letting her know there was someone to hold her hand and throw a robe over her at the right moment….made her feel better.”
