- It had to happen -- a Soviet actress appearing seminude in
- Playboy. What is more astonishing, however, is that NATALIA
- NEGODA'S appearance in the May issue of the magazine was
- arranged by Sovexportfilm, a state cinema organization. "I would
- not even have considered posing had I not got official
- approval," she says. Negoda pooh-poohs its effect on the good
- folk back home. "It is not actually that daring because, of
- course, we do not get Playboy in the Soviet Union." Her
- countrymen are already seeing enough of her to be shocked.
- Negoda, 25, stars in Little Vera, the first Soviet film to
- feature what is by Soviet standards explicit sex. "There are not
- many films in this country that are so true to life," says
- Negoda. Will she go Hollywood? "I'm very interested," she says,
- "but I'm not sure what they think of me." As for Western stars,
- Negoda's favorites are Marlon Brando, Dustin Hoffman and
- Jessica Lange, only one of whom would interest Playboy.
