It's hard work! Monica Potter strips down to cleavage-baring one-piece to film Parenthood scenes in Hawaii

They are in Hawaii filming scenes for hit television series Parenthood.
And Monica Potter was soaking up the sun on set Tuesday as she joined co-star Peter Krause to shoot new scenes for the comedy.
The 41-year-old actress looked stunning in a flattering black one-piece that accentuated her curves, while she shielded her face from the sun with a chic wide-brimmed hat.

Monica plays matriarch Kristina Braverman in the NBC comedy-drama, set in Berkeley, California.

Her blonde locks were wrapped in a matching black and white striped scarf.

Monica's character is battling cancer in the series.
The actress spoke to the Huffington Post last month about her reaction to hearing about the new storyline - while fans wonder if Kristina will be written off the series.
'The whole season's been sort of like a roller coaster,' she said. 
'Psychologically it's been weird. It's been really weird. I definitely have been mentally, a little bit off.

Beaming: The actress was grinning ear-to-ear

'It messes with your head,' she admitted.
Fans are still waiting to find out how her story ends this season.
'You see in Episode 15 that it can go either way. So that's the episode that I'm most concerned about,' she said.
The season finale is scheduled to air on January 22.
