Naked in New York is a 1993 romantic drama film starring Eric Stoltz, Mary Louise Parker, Ralph Macchio, Jill Clayburgh, Tony Curtis, Timothy Dalton, and Kathleen Turner, and featuring multiple celebrity cameos, including William Styron listing all of his authored, penned and film work, Whoopi Goldberg as a bas-relief mask, and former New York Dolls singer David Johansen as a talking monkey, which were arranged by executive producer Martin Scorsese. The New York Times called the film "a warm, seductive delight". The film is narrated in flashback by Jake Briggs , a young aspiring playwright,... culminating in the production of one of his plays off-Broadway by agent Carl Fisher . The play is a flop, at least in part because the lead parts are given to two actors, Dana Coles and Jason Brett , who are "not right" for the roles. Along the journey, Jake reviews his relationships with girlfriend Joanne , best friend Chris , his mother Shirley , and his mostly absentee father Roman .
