Anna Friel stunned theater-goers at the unveiling of a London stage version of Breakfast At Tiffany's - by stripping naked during the show.

The Pushing Daisies star peels off her clothes and reclines on a couch for her role as Holly Golightly in the theater version of the classic Oscar-winning movie.

She said, Holly's a heroine for a lot of females because she doesn't follow the rules

The nude scenes were kept a tightly-guarded secret during rehearsals for the show, and the audience for the preview performance at the Theater Royal Haymarket in the West End last week (begs14Sep09) was stunned at Friel's bravery.

One onlooker tells the News of the World, "The guys in the front row couldn't believe it, their eyes were on stalks. It looked like they were about to pass out".

Earlier this year (09), Friel hinted she would push the boundaries as Golightly, a role made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film.

She said, "Holly's a heroine for a lot of females because she doesn't follow the rules. My Holly will have a lot more rough edges than Audrey's".
