Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey refused to shoot nude for "The Butler", and she says she had many arguments with director Lee Daniels over the matter.

The 59-year-old, who plays Gloria in the historical fiction drama, was adamant she wasn't going to bare her flesh in a romantic scene with her co-star Terrence Howard.

"You know, he (Daniels) would have had me buck naked on that sofa if I had let him. He did more screaming than I did - I'm not a screamer," contactmusic.com quoted Winfrey as saying.
