A Field Guide to Penelope Cruz

Spanish siren Penelope Cruz returns to theaters—and potentially this year's awards race—in the new Pedro Almodóvar film Pain & Glory. The raven-haired beauty has been steaming up screen for more than 25 years now and she's been baring her bod since the moment she first appeared on screen! Let's take a look back at some of Penelope's nudest moments on film!

Following two small roles on Spanish television, Penelope made her big screen debut and her nude debut in 1992's Jamón Jamón, appearing alongside future husband Javier Bardem nearly two decades before they'd get together. Penelope goes topless several times in the film, getting her nude debut out of the way right away!

1997's Open Your Eyes found Penelope playing the object of a broken man's affections and their sex scene in the film brings us one of the best topless scenes of her entire career!

She followed that up with nude appearances in La niña de tus ojos, Volavérunt, and Woman on Top, before catching Hollywood's attention!

2001 brought Penelope into the spotlight in a huge way, first in the remake of Open Your Eyes, the Tom Cruise starring Vanilla Sky, and she also went topless in the romantic flick Captain Corelli's Mandolin co-starring Nicolas Cage!

Penelope did some brief nude scenes in both Don't Move and The Good Night, before doing some more of the best nudity of her career in 2008's Elegy.

2009's Broken Embraces found her working with Almodóvar once again, going topless several times throughout the film, and 2012's Twice Born brought more terrific topless scenes from Penelope!

Most recently, Penelope earned rave reviews for her performance as a breast cancer survivor in Ma Ma, where digital effects were used to give the appearance of her having had a mastectomy.
