Do Body Doubles get Screen Credits?

[Kathie Moh]

Thinking back to Oliver Stone's The Doors, I recalled that it wasn't
Val Kilmer's behind lingering in the air but a body double had that honor.

So when the credits roll, do these body doubles get credit? And if they do,
is it under "stunt double" or "body double" or "breast girl and butt boy" or
"better bodies models"?

I think there should be a whole new catagory of names to credit these people.
How about:

"The alternate ego of actors if they were firmer"

"I wish I had that bod"

"The guy who should have done Micheal Douglas' nude scene in Basic Instinct"

"Don't you wish you had my bod"

Any other ideas?

I've only seen the trailers, but the way the office seduction scene
in DISCLOSURE is cut, it looks like there *could* be a bod double for
DM when MD squeezes her ass; not that DM's wouldn't cut it, but maybe
BW has a little input where these things are concerned. :D :D

Very funny...

In fact, I remember a body double credited as "Body Double" (an original
title) in that thing-trying-to-be-a-movie "Hexed". I don't remember the
name of the girl, but she was doubling Claudia Christian. I wonder why
Claudia needs a BD, perhaps she is very modest...

Dunno about body doubles getting credit, but in SPOTSWOOD (aka THE EFFICIENCY
EXPERT), Anthony Hopkins' stand-in is credited along with the other actors.
