Photo Gallery

beach session for a respected travel magazine ended up in men's monthly

Playboy.

The actress was posing for Traveller magazine with revered portrait snapper

Burt Stern when she agreed to bare all for him.

But she had no idea the shots would end up in a 1990 Playboy, with her on the

cover. She recalls, "I was in a bathing suit in Florida with Burt Stern, the great

photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked

a joint and the bathing suit kept coming off in the water and I just ripped it

off and was very comfortable with being naked."

But then she saw the Playboy spread: "If anything, they're not even great

photographs, they're ugly photographs. They stenciled the Playboy bunny on my

T-shirt...so we sued them."

Arquette insists the spread was particularly embarrassing because she first

saw it when she was on her way back from Disney World with then-boyfriend Peter

Gabriel and his young children.

She adds, "Suddenly I'm, like, there on the cover... It was in the stands. I

had no idea. The relationship broke up right after that, not because of that."
