The photo session took place at her home with a familiar team of hair, makeup and wardrobe. Bertinelli eased into it by arriving in a big sweater, then at a point decided to go ahead. She laughed that she did it once and won’t repeat it, but found the experience revealing.
She compared the comfort she felt to a 2009 bikini shoot after losing about 40 pounds on Nutrisystem, saying being nude at this age felt better. After decades of feeling bad about her body, Bertinelli said at 65 it looks "pretty f---ing good" and she’s allowed to feel good now. Getting Naked is available wherever books are sold.
