* ArtisticLicense: The shoot Jessie does with Jack is a nude one, and certain things imply Jessie did not know it would be. The laws surrounding nude scenes or photography state that the actor or model know well in advance what the conditions will be, what will be seen etc. If Jessie did know in advance, then she would probably not have gone onto set wearing a dress - as she would have to have make-up done for her whole body (and if she were having pictures taken in the dress, she would have to pause after those were done to have make-up redone for the nudes). She would instead be more likely to have a robe, which she would be free to change into when not shooting. Jack also dismisses everyone to make it a closed set - which means non-essential crew members are not present for the nudity. Ruby is also dismissed but, as a make-up artist, she would be considered essential to touch up Jessie's (especially when shooting under hot studio lights).
