Yes, I do believe that if a non-nude can illustrate an article as well as a nude can then the non-nude should be used.
Why in this case, though? The whole point was that she posed nude wearing the Heart of the Ocean for Jack, and the treasure hunters looking for the diamond found the picture. That is the McGuffin that holds the whole story together.
A still of of the drawing, not of the actual nude actress, would be more appropriate then.

This is an article about a movie, not a drawing (Mr Cameron, who drew it, is a far better director and cinematographer than he is a draftsman).

Frankly, I'm of the opinion that a still of action in the film is more illustrative than illustration itself. The major point to ponder here, for me, is whether the plot point involving the nude posing and the rediscovery of the illustration is something that is relevant to the article itself. I tend to lean in the direction of considering that relevant, but I could probably be dissuaded.
