"Maysie Hoystill currently works in Hollywood as a film editor, having initially started her career as an actress in Robert Altman's 1971 western, 'McCabe & Mrs. Miller'. Her debut role featured several notable scenes: one involving hot buns, nudity, and a glimpse of nature. Later in the film, she shared a hot tub scene with other nude actresses, including Linda Sorenson. Altman's film serves as evidence that nudity was present even in earlier eras."
