Did Felicity Huffman use a body double for the bath scene?


When Bree was having a bath, her body was in full view, so did they use a body double for that scene or was that all Felicity's?

You could see her face and her body, it was definitely Felicity Huffman. Obviously this is the only time she "shows" her body completely on screen because it's supposed to symbolise the fact her character finally feels like a "real" woman (despite she's always felt that way, it's just that her body didn't match her gender).

Her real-life husband William H Macy shows (almost) all in "The Cooler" so they are both square.

Her vagina looked hairy so soon after the operation. I question the accuracy of that since obviously everything must be shaved down like with any other surgery.

If you listen to Duncan Tucker's feature commentary on the DVD, he says that the post-hospital scenes take place several months after Bree's surgery, so the hair would have had time to grow back.

I don't even need to watch a commentary to be honest, there is nothing that makes it look like the nude scene comes right after the surgery. So many things happened since the operation: Toby homeless on the beach, meeting someone to do a porn movie..... not to mention the period until the swelling from the operation goes down which I'm sure is not immediate...
