Sharon Stone has recreated her iconic interrogation scene from erotic classic Basic Instinct in a sexy lingerie shoot.
The 66-year-old actress took to Instagram to share a stunning image dressed in red lace lingerie, 32 years after playing the famous sexy assassin Catherine Tramell.
Amidst the barrage of questions, Catherine distracts them by uncrossing and re-crossing her legs, leaving the men baffled as she was not in her underwear at the time.
The scene was highly controversial at the time and has now gone down in history as one of the most infamous in film history.
Sharon Stone has recreated her iconic interrogation scene from erotic classic Basic Instinct in a sexy lingerie shoot
The actress played sexy assassin Catherine Tramell in the 1992 film, where she uncrossed her legs during an interrogation, despite not wearing underwear at the time.
And the actress proudly showed off her incredible figure in her sexy lingerie, posing with her legs crossed in an ode to the legendary scene.
Despite the moment turning Sharon into an overnight sensation, the Oscar nominee has maintained in the past that she was “tricked” into exposing herself on camera.
In her memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon described how she furiously slapped its director Paul Verhoeven and walked out of a preview screening of the erotic thriller after discovering that his assurances that she would not appear on screen had been a lie and that audiences could, as she put it, “see as far as Nebraska”.
For his part, Verhoeven has vehemently rejected her claims that she was taken by surprise during the leg-crossing scene.
She said: ‘Any actress knows what she’s going to see if you ask her to take off her underwear and point the camera at her.’
But the Hollywood veteran has also been adamant that she does not regret making the film.
“Regrets are like farts, you can’t take them back. Once they come out, they stink and disappear,” he previously joked.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, Sharon claimed that the $18 million she had accumulated after more than two decades in the film industry evaporated during the years she was unable to work due to brain damage caused by the stroke.
The 1992 film starred Michael Douglas as Nick Curran, a disgraced homicide detective, and Sharon Stone as Catherine, a wealthy heiress who Curran believes has murdered her ex.
Despite the moment that turned Sharon into an overnight sensation, the Oscar nominee has maintained in the past that she was “tricked” into exposing herself for the cameras.
This comes after Sharon claimed she lost £18million when she was left unable to work following a near-fatal stroke in 2001.
Stone — who has controversially claimed that Kevin Spacey’s banishment from Hollywood was partly inspired by homophobia — blamed her loss of millions on people around her who allegedly mismanaged her money while she struggled to regain basic functions, such as the ability to read, which she lost “for a couple of years.”
In all, Stone said it took him seven years to almost fully recover from the effects of the life-threatening stroke, and doctors gave him only a one in 100 chance of surviving.
“People took advantage of me during my recovery time,” Stone said. “I had $18 million saved up from all my success, but when I got my bank account back, it was all gone.”
She described the surreal feeling of having little to her name once she was competent enough to take charge of her finances.
“My refrigerator, my phone… everything was in other people’s names,” he revealed.
Stone later clarified: “I didn’t have any money.”
It’s unclear how much Stone had to pay in medical bills and years of therapies, but she described the severe symptoms caused by her subarachnoid hemorrhage.
“I was bleeding inside my brain for nine days, so my brain was pushed to the front of my face,” she explained, adding: “It wasn’t positioned in my head where it was before.”
The physical change in his brain meant that “everything changed.”
“I lost my sense of smell, sight and touch. For a couple of years I couldn’t read,” the Oscar nominee admitted. “Things had changed and I was seeing patterns of colors.”
“A lot of people thought I was going to die,” he added.
Beyond the changes in his senses, Stone agreed “100 percent” that the stroke changed the way he thought.
“A Buddhist monk told me that I had been reincarnated in my own body,” he shared. “I had a death experience and then I was brought back.”
