Dawson's Mum Encouraged Her To Strip - And Love Her Body

The Sin City actress was a regular at one nude beach in the New York state area during her summers - and her mother couldn't have been happier.

She tells Playboy magazine, "My mom took us to a nude beach all the time when I was young. She'd say, 'I hate tan lines,' and off our bathing suits would go."

And her mother's extrovert nature made Dawson proud of her body.

She adds, "I mean, why should there be any shame or weirdness about something so beautiful and natural?"
