Huh?  Is this just a piece of Internet lore, or can you point us to 
an actual article/item that tells about this?  It seems a little odd, 
given that plenty of SAG members appeared nude in movies before that. 
S.O.B. came out in 1981, more than a decade after the Hays-era ban on 
nudity had been broken, for example, and around eight years after 
SAG-member Marlon Brando demonstrated one of butter's uses in Last 
Tango in Paris without any SAG penalty that I've ever heard about.

BTW, the Screen Actor's Guild gave Andrews a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Curious,
Carl
