Kim Cattrall is nothing if not brave. The game actress’s latest role called for her to strip off her clothes for a worthy cause - to save a valuable artwork - alongside a troupe of super-fit twenty-something peformers from theatre production La Clique.

And the 52-year-old actress, who regularly stripped off in television show Sex And The City , duly rose to the challenge, holding her own among the nubile young bodies who were assemble to recreate Tititian masterpiece Diana and Actaeon.

BBC Two’s The Culture Show teamed up with artist and photographer Tom Hunter to create a modern day version of Titian’s masterpiece Diana and Actaeon.

Tom Hunter is well known for his recreation of old masters and is the only photographer to have had an exhibition at the National Gallery, London.

The Culture Show challenged Hunter to create a 21st century version of the painting after he came out in support of the campaign to raise £50million to keep it on public display in Britain.

And Miss Cattrall features as Diana in the picture alongside art students from the Courtauld Institute and performers from the hit West End burlesque show La Clique.

Tom said: ‘Kim is the perfect Diana. Just like the Greek goddess, she combines beauty with a sense of threat.

‘She was a great sport and at 52 made an amazing Diana. She more than held her own among a room full of twenty-somethings.
