Hollywood star Sharon Stone has revealed that she was tricked into taking her underwear off in the infamous interrogation scene of the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct, the defining hit of her career. Stone made the revelation in
her memoir, The Beauty Of Living Twice.
In an excerpt from her memoir obtained by Vanity Fair, the actress accused a member of director Paul Verhoeven’s production team of tricking her during the leg-crossing scene. “That was how I saw my vagina-shot for the first time, long after I’d been told, ‘We can’t see anything.’ I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on,” she wrote in her memoir. “Yes, there have been many points of view on this topic, but since I’m the one with the vagina, in question, let me say: The other points of view are bulls**t. It was me and my parts up there,” she added.
