MARCIA GAY HARDEN - GAY HARDEN BREASTLESS SCENE SET TO SHOCK

MARCIA GAY HARDEN is hoping her harrowing post-surgery breast reveal in new movie RAILS + TIES prompts all women to get tested for breast cancer. The Oscar-winning actress plays a woman dealing with cancer in the film, which features one eye-popping scene where her character looks at herself in a mirror after a mastectomy. She tells Movies.com, "A radical mastectomy is fearful. It's equivalent to a guy having a testicle lopped off. "Women's breasts are such an integral part of them; when you get them you know you're growing up. They're sexual objects. They provide food for your babies. "To lose one is a lot to cope with psychologically. And it's just one more wake-up call to women that routine examinations are so important."
