Shelley Michelle said she was hired to body double for Catherine Oxenberg who refused to be nude for a sex scene. At the audition, Oxenberg had Michelle put on a wig and strip off her top so that Oxenberg could make sure her breasts looked good. Michelle had no problem with it, but she could tell Oxenberg was pretty embarrassed asking her to do it. This was Michelle's first time being a nude body double. She soon became highly sought after and doubled for several prominent actresses too timid to be naked.
After filming a nude sex scene as Catherine Oxenberg's double, Shelley Michelle said in an interview that the actor in the scene with her asked her out for dinner. Thinking he probably thought the love scene went so well that he just wanted to keep it going for real, she declined. A few months later, they ran into each other and she accepted when he asked her out again. But she said it was a pretty boring dinner. No sparks.
