Mrs. McCluskey's Sex Scene
Get out the Bengay! Sixty-nine-year-old
Kathryn Joosten is getting her first sex scene as crusty Mrs. McCluskey on Season 6 of
Desperate Housewives—and the lady’s willing to let it all hang out. Before climbing into bed with her new boy toy, Roy (played by 81-year-old
Orson Bean), Kathryn was summoned to the wardrobe trailer. “They had all these old-lady nighties hanging there,” Kathryn gripes. “I said, ‘I’m not going to wear a nightie. We’re supposed to be in bed getting it on!’” After some discussion with producers, Kathryn was allowed to perform her sexy scene wearing only a skimpy flesh-colored body stocking. But don’t expect the wild full-on senior sex we saw on HBO’s canceled
Tell Me You Love Me. The couple is shown postcoital. “He’s asleep and I’m looking at him,” Kathryn says. “I convinced the director to let me do one take holding a cigarette, but I’m sure they won’t use it.”
