Rob Lowe Recalls “Page 73 Rule” For Sex Scenes: “But Now, It’s So Brave”
As intimacy coordinators become the norm on movie sets, Rob Lowe is reflecting on a once unwritten rule in Hollywood.
The 6x Golden Globe nominee recounted the “page 73 rule” for screenplays as he mourned the lack of sex scenes in today’s movies, compared to his heyday with films like 1988’s Masquerade, which he noted the studio dumped because it was “too sexy.” The 9-1-1: Lone Star alum lamented that “nobody has sex scenes in movies anymore,” with the exception of A24’s Babygirl, which he said was “great.” Babygirl writer-director Halina Reijn previously explained that the presence of intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot allowed them to achieve “ way more risky ” sex scenes in the film, which stars Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson.
