She's known for stripping off as highly-sexed Samantha in Sex And The City and now Kim Cattrall has found another excuse to lose her clothes - but it's all for a good cause.

Posing alongside a troupe of super-fit twenty-something performers from theatre production La Clique, Kim has stripped to recreate Titian masterpiece Diana and Actaeon.

The actress - who has never been shy about showing off her age-defying body - appears topless with only a strategically placed sheet to protect her modesty.

BBC programme The Culture Show challenged artist Tom Hunter to create a modern-day version of the painting to support the campaign to raise £50million to keep it on public display in Britain.

And 52-year-old Kim features as Diana in the picture - and looks flawless, despite being surrounded by models less than half her age.
