Famous Naked People

Hello Fellow Nudies,

I cant take the credit for all of the following information but thought I could enlighten some of you as to some famous “skinny dippers” throughout history and if you become famous maybe you can be added to this list…

  • Benjamin Franklin took daily naked “air baths”.
  • So did Henry David Thoreau, who was also a frequent skinny-dipper
  • Alexander Graham Bell was a skinny-dipper and nude sunbather
  • George Bernard Shaw, Walt Whitman, Eugene O’Neil, and painter Thomas Eakins argued in favor of social nudity
  • President John Quincy Adams was a regular skinny-dipper. According to reports, “each morning he got up before dawn, walked across the White House lawn to the Potomac River, took off his clothes and swam in the nude. Then he returned to the White House to have breakfast, read the Bible and run the country”.
  • President Theodore Roosevelt frequently swam nude in Rock creek Park in Washington, once skinny-dipping with the French diplomat, Jules Jusserand.
  • President Lyndon Johnson occasionally swam nude with guests in the White House pool, including with evangelist Billy Graham.
  • Senator Edward Kennedy has been photographed skinny-dipping at public beaches in Florida
  • At the White House of his brother, John F. Kennedy, nudity had been common around the White House pool
  • Many U.S. congressmen enjoy nude recreation, albeit segregated: U.S. Senate members may use the Russell Senate Office Building Pool in the nude (the few female Senators make appointments to assure there won’t be males on hand).
  • Congressmen also sunbathed nude on the Speaker’s Porch until one day in 1973 when Rep. Patricia Schroeder wandered into the gathering inadvertently
  • Billionaire insurance man John D. MacArthur frequently went skinny-dipping, and left a beach to the state of Florida, intending that a portion be designated clothing-optional (a wish that has been spurned); word has it that MacArthur went skinny-dipping with Walt Disney at this beach in the late 1960s
  • Robert McNamara, World Bank president and former U.S. Defense Secretary skinny-dips regularly.
  • American Civil Liberties Union founder, Roger Baldwin, is also a skinny-dipper
  • Charles F. Richter, the co-inventor of the earthquake measuring system, was a life-long nudist and Naturist
  • Actress Lynn Redgrave and her family practice social nudism.
  • Actress Bridget Fonda and Brigitte Bardot enjoy social nudity
  • The late actor Gary Merrill advocated nudism.
  • Christi Brinkley openly admits to frequenting nude beaches.
  • Christian singer Amy Grant goes topfree on foreign beaches while on tour overseas
  • Even the late Dr. Seuss published approval of a nudist philosophy

    Oh and don’t forget Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird and Sylvester. Porky Pig used to be nude but succumbed to pressure and put pants on!
