One of the changes that she highlighted was the ability for actors to set boundaries on what they are and aren't comfortable doing on set, such as refusing to do a s*x scene or appear n*ked.
Ricci, who is now 43, reflected on how younger actors today don't have to go through the same experiences she did. She mentioned that she was once threatened with legal action for refusing to do a s*x scene on a movie set, but that such a situation would never happen now.
Jane Fonda, another prominent actress, has also spoken out about feeling uncomfortable during intim*te scenes in the past.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Fonda discussed the role of intim*cy coordinators on set. These professionals help actors understand what's expected of them during hyper-exposed scenes and give them the opportunity to provide informed and continued consent.
Fonda noted that having an intim*cy coordinator on set would have made a significant difference in her own comfort level during intim*te scenes.
Overall, the #MeToo movement has brought about positive changes in the industry, and actors today have more agency to set their own boundaries and feel comfortable on set.
