Sharon Stone has been a screen icon for decades and over that time has learned a lesson or two. It has been nearly 30 years since “Basic Instinct” premiered on March 20, 1992.
While Stone already had a lengthy resume, the film made her household name. “I was 32 when I got the part of Catherine Tramell in ‘Basic Instinct’,” Stone told InStyle. “It was probably as late as you could be in your career without a big break.
But from the moment I read the script, I knew I was the right person for the role. It was an intellectually complex part, and I felt like I had a real grasp on it.” READ MORE: Sharon Stone Reveals Her Mother Is Doing Well Following ‘Acute Stroke’ Stone only made $500,000 while her co-star Michael Douglas brought in $14 million, however, Stone put in her contract to “keep the clothes.” “People thought I was crazy, but the truth is I wasn’t getting paid much compared to my male co-star,” Stone said of the clause in her contract. “So keeping my costumes was a really smart thing to do.” The actress also dished on the now infamous scene where she uncrosses her legs and flashes the detectives, revealing that she was asked to remove her underwear since it was “reflecting the light.” “The cinematographer told me that they couldn’t see anything.
