Evan Rachel Wood: 'Kate Winslet Coached Me Through My First Nude Scene' in New HBO Series

I suppose, all things considered, seeing Kate Winslet giving you a thumbs-up while you're completely naked isn't such a bad thing.

That's what happened to Evan Rachel Wood during the filming of the new HBO show "Mildred Pierce." The "True Blood" star has her first-ever nude scene in the series, and said that co-star Kate Winslet was helping her every step of the way.

"She coached me through my first nude scene," said Wood at the premiere. "She was literally standing right next to the camera as I was doing it," added Wood, gesturing that Winslet gave her the thumbs-up while she was shooting the scene.

"She just said 'You won't regret it,'" said Wood of Winslet's advice, "'You'll be very happy that you did it, it's very important to the film, it'd be very brave of you.'

"And she's done it all, so she knows what she's talking about," added Wood.

"Mildred Pierce" follows the story of a woman struggling to keep her family going during the Great Depression after she separates from her unemployed, cheating husband and takes her two children with her. The series is already being met with positive reviews, and features an incredible cast with Wood, Winslet and Guy Pearce in the lead roles.

The show will premiere this Sunday, March 27th on HBO.
