Nora-Jane Noone was 17-years-old at the time of filming. During the shoot, she agreed to do a nude scene, to reflect the humiliating awfulness of life at the laundries. "If you can't show your body when you're young, when can you?" her mother told her.

Asked if it was difficult to play the nude scene, Nora-Jane Noone said, "Well the thing is, it wasn't just like I'm just showing off my skin or anything like that.
The thing kind of hits home and really kind of gets it across the terrible things that did happen and that was the extreme. I mean there actually were a lot of women to whom that did happen. And I think that was an important scene.
So I wouldn't just go nude for anything, I really wouldn't.
And I was 17 at the time, and because of the fact that it was done tastefully and it kind of goes with part of the story of the Magdalene laundry, my parents were very supportive about it."
