Oscar-winning actress Helen Hunt has been a household Hollywood name since the 1970’s, but the idea of baring her body for all to see still proved overwhelming.

“Being naked was challenging, but even more than that was the vulnerability. I felt vulnerable because I was naked,” Hunt told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column while promoting her latest drama “The Sessions.” “I felt vulnerable because we were having such a vulnerable moment in this character’s life. This was a real journey that someone had gone on, and I wanted to do right by that.”
