Plot.
Audrey Munson (a real-life 'perfect' model for numerous Beaux-Arts sculptors) first appeared artistically nude as a sculptor's model, recreating classic artistic (nude) paintings in George Foster Platt's controversial film from the Mutual Film Corporation. In fact, the film told the story of her own life. This film has generally been regarded as the first non-pornographic American film to feature nudity. This was the first known film in which a leading actress stripped down to be naked, making her the first nude film star. (filmsite.org)

Wiki.
Inspiration is a 1915 American silent drama film directed by George Foster Platt and written by Virginia Tyler Hudson and starring Audrey Munson, an artist's model known at the time for posing for several statues in New York City and the 1915 San Francisco Panama–Pacific International Exposition. It is believed to be one of the first non-pornographic American films to feature full nudity, with Munson frequently appearing naked as a sculptor's model. On its reissue in 1918, the film was renamed as The Perfect Model.
