The Untold Truth Behind Hollywood's Steamiest Scenes

Keira Knightley, Atonement

Keira Knightley's gorgeous emerald dress in "Atonement" had a few different backups due to the frequent ripping from that famous library scene. "I probably broke them all," Knightley recalled in an interview. "You can't have a sex scene in a dress like that! It was all laser-cut in the front, so literally, if you touched it [it ripped]. They had so many [backups], and the tops had to keep being resewn and redone."
