Sharon Stone has recreated her iconic interrogation scene from the erotic classic Basic Instinct in a sexy lingerie shoot.
The 66-year-old actress shared a stunning photo of herself in red lace lingerie on Instagram, 32 years after she played the sexy assassin Catherine Tramell.
As Catherine peppers them with questions, she distracts them by spreading her legs and crossing them again, confusing the men as she was not wearing any underwear at the time.
The scene was highly controversial at the time, but is now considered one of the most infamous in film history.
Sharon Stone has recreated her iconic interrogation scene from the erotic classic Basic Instinct in a sexy lingerie shoot
The actress played the role of sexy killer Catherine Tramell in the 1992 film, in which she left her legs uncrossed during an interrogation despite not wearing any 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 making Sharon an overnight sensation, the Academy Award nominee has maintained in the past that she was “tricked” into exposing herself for the cameras.
In her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon described angrily slapping her director Paul Verhoeven and walking out of a preview of the erotic thriller after discovering that his assurances that the film would not make it to screens had been a lie and that audiences could watch — as she put it — “all the way to Nebraska.”
Verhoeven has strongly denied her claims that she was surprised by the crossed-legged scene.
He said, ‘Every actress knows what she’s going to see if you ask her to take off her underwear and point the camera at it.’
But the Hollywood veteran is also adamant that she has no regrets about making the film.
“Regrets are like farts, you can’t get them back. Once they’re out, they stink and they’re gone,” she joked earlier.
Sharon claimed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday that the $18 million she earned in more than two decades in the film industry went up in smoke 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 detective, and Sharon Stone as Catherine, a wealthy heiress who Curran believes murdered her ex.

This comes after Sharon claimed she lost £18million when she was unable to work following a near-fatal stroke in 2001
Stone, who has controversially claimed that Kevin Spacey’s banishment from Hollywood was partly motivated by homophobia, attributed her loss of millions to those around her mismanaging her money as she struggled to regain basic functions, such as the ability to read, which she lost “for a couple of years.”
Stone said it took her a total of seven years to recover from the effects of the life-threatening stroke. Doctors estimate her chance of survival is only one in 100.
People have taken advantage of me because of that [recovery] “I had saved $18 million from all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone.”
She described the surreal feeling she had once she became competent enough to manage her finances.
“My refrigerator, my phone, everything was registered to other people,” she revealed.
Stone then clarified, “I had zero money.”
It’s unclear how much of Stone’s medical bills and years of therapy she had to pay, but she described the severe symptoms her subarachnoid hemorrhage caused.
“I had a bleed in my brain for nine days, which pushed my brain toward the front of my face,” she explained, adding, “It wasn’t in the same place in my head as it was before.”
The physical change in her brain meant that ‘everything changed’.
“My sense of smell, my sense of sight, my sense of touch. I couldn’t read for a couple of years,” the Oscar nominee admitted. “Things were stretching out and I was seeing patterns of color.
“A lot of people thought I was going to die,” she added.
In addition to the changes in her senses, Stone agreed “100 percent” that the stroke changed the way she thinks.
“A Buddhist monk told me I was reincarnated in the same body,” she said. “I had a death experience and then they brought me back.”
