Patricia Arquette, 55, looks youthful in gold as she attends a festival in France… after sharing she was ‘uncomfortable’ going nude in a ’90s film

Patricia Arquette stole the spotlight on Friday during the 15th edition of Series Mania in Lille, France.

The 55-year-old Oscar winner – who recently hosted an Emmy afterparty with her daughter Harlow – looked stunning in her sparkling ensemble for the event, which has become Europe’s biggest television festival since its debut in 2010, per Variety.

Dressed in a stunning gold coat and matching metallic skirt, the Boyhood actress arrived as a guest of honor and took over the red carpet.

With her signature blonde locks styled into a casual bun and minimal makeup enhancing her natural beauty, she effortlessly turned heads.

The appearance came a day after the iconic star led a discussion on several topics, including her childhood in rural Virginia and her Academy Award-winning career, according to Deadline.

She also spoke openly about the challenges of filming her extensive nude scene for director David Lynch in his 1997 psychological thriller Lost Highway.

Patricia revealed that she felt “very uncomfortable with nudity” during that period, according to the outlet.

Despite this, she continued the scene as a personal challenge as an artist. Unfortunately, she felt uncomfortable on set due to the behavior of certain crew members.

‘It was weird. It was hard on my own hang-ups. But the boys also said some rude things. “I told David I didn’t feel comfortable,” she said.

Lynch asked her to leave the set, after which he reprimanded the crew members, the star said.

“By the time I came back in, they all looked down at their feet and apologized. He made sure there were boundaries for different things,” she added, according to the source.

Of her experience working with Martin Scorsese in his 1999 feature Bringing Out the Dead, Patricia shared an anecdote about the director’s almost instinctive mastery of filmmaking.

‘I remember one time the monitors went off while he was watching a scene, and he said, “That’s good, we’ve got it.” And I said, how do you know Marty? The monitors went off. And he said, “I can hear it. You can hear it if it’s right.”

She also spoke about the late Tony Scott, who directed her in her breakout role as Alabama in 1993’s True Romance.

‘What he taught me as an actor and changed my life is that I had good ideas and could contribute myself. Because he was so consistent in that support, I really started to trust myself.”

As a director, she recently unveiled Gonzo Girl, starring Willem Dafoe, at TIFF 2023.
