Sharon Stone Just Tweeted Her ‘Basic Instinct’ Audition Tape
At the time Sharon Stone was cast in Paul Verhoeven’s erotic thriller Basic Instinct, she wasn’t yet a Hollywood star. In her thirties at the time, Stone already had a handful of film and television roles under her belt, but it was the 1992 film that catapulted her into super-stardom.
After all, who could ever forget *that* scene?
Stone was nominated for a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct, a seductive writer who becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation. The role was originally offered to bigger stars like Julia Roberts and Michelle Pfeiffer, but when they all turned it down, Stone came in and wowed Verhoeven.
Now, all these years later, Stone has just taken to Twitter to share footage from her original audition with Verhoeven. In it, the director plays the Michael Douglas role, while Stone undeniably captivates in the role she’d soon make famous on the big screen.
