The actress says her Mildred Pierce co-star gave expert advice on stripping down for the camera

As Evan Rachel Wood prepared for her very first full-frontal nude scene, the young actress was lucky enough to have her Mildred Pierce co-star, Kate Winslet, walking her through the rough spots.

“She coached me through my first nude scene,” Wood, 23, told E! News at the N.Y.C. premiere of the HBO miniseries. “I mean, she’s done it all. She was literally next to the camera (giving a thumbs-up).”

Winslet’s best advice to the actress, who plays her daughter in the series? Cover up where you can.

“I looked at Kate and she was like, ‘You’ve got to do it. Trust me, it’s so brave,'” Wood told Fancast.com. “‘Put a merkin (a pubic wig) on and you’ll be fine.’ Let’s just say, I had to wear a wig because it was in the ’30s, and everything had to look like it was in the ’30s,” she laughed.

Winslet, an Oscar winner who’s gotten naked for the cameras more than once, also told Wood she should keep the number of extraneous people on the set to a minimum.

“You keep the room as empty as possible,” Winslet advised. “Just kind of being there for her, really, and letting her know there was someone to hold her hand and throw a robe over her at the right moment… made her feel better.”

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have been named the most romantic onscreen couple of all time. The survey of moviegoers saw the pair voted ahead of classic on screen pairings such as Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh from Gone With The Wind, reports the Daily Mail. Almost a quarter of all those who voted rated the romance that plays out during the final hours on the ill fated cruise liner Titanic as the best Hollywood has ever made.

The romance between Gable and Leigh in the classic 1939 film Gone With The Wind was rated the second most romantic onscreen pairing.

Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman landed the third spot in the survey.

Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman from the 1942 classic Casablanca came fourth while Spencer Tracey and Katherine Hepburn were voted fifth.

More than 500,000 people were asked for their favorite film choices and characters for ABC TV and People magazine.
