Did You Know Sharon Stone Lost Son Roan's Custody for Her Infamous Nude Scene in Basic Instinct?
Now, here is the issue. It didn't matter anymore. It was me and my parts up there. I had decisions to make. Stone says she went to the projection booth and confronted Basic Instinct director Paul Verhoeven by slapping him across the face.
"It was horrible. I was so humiliated," Stone said. "Does anyone have any idea how hard it was to play that part? How gut-wrenching? How frightening? To try and carry this complex movie that was breaking all boundaries and everyone was protesting against, and the pressure. I auditioned for it for nine months.They offered it to 13 other people and now you're laughing at me. I just wanted to crawl into a hole." In her memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, which published last year, Stone revealed she was misled into appearing nude in Basic Instinct. The actor said she had no idea about the nudity until she saw a screening of the film alongside agents and lawyers. "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,'" Stone writes in the memoir. "Now, here is the issue. It didn't matter anymore. It was me and my parts up there. I had decisions to make." Stone says she went to the projection booth and confronted Basic Instinct director Paul Verhoeven by slapping him across the face.
