Sharon Stone, the actress, revealed how she was tricked into removing her panties for a scene and why she did it.
Sharon Stone, in her memoir 'The Beauty of Living Twice', disclosed the backstory of the famous leg-crossing scene in Basic Instinct. In 1992, when the film was released, this scene particularly became a hit but did you know that the actress had to remove her panties to do it?
Sharon Stone was playing a murder suspect crime novelist in the film, and she had no idea how she fell into the trick until she saw the movie with a room full of agents and lawyers. Have you seen the film? If no, then here's a clip of that iconic scene.
The actress wrote in her book, "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.' 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–. It was me and my parts up there."
"I let Paul (the director) know of the options Marty had laid out for me. Of course, he vehemently denied that I had any choices at all. I was just an actress, just a woman; what choices could I have? But I did have choices. So I thought and thought and I chose to allow this scene in the film. Why? Because it was correct for the film and for the character; and because, after all, I did it," Sharon further revealed.
