Sharon Stone took a trip down memory lane on Wednesday and tweeted an amazing clip of her audition for Basic Instinct, the 1992 hit movie that made her a household name.
In the video, Sharon Stone is running lines with director Peter Verhoeven. Stone taunts, teases and flirts playing the murder suspect Catherine Tramell.
Despite the movie’s controversial scenes, Basic Instinct would go on to become one of the highest-grossing movies of the year. Stone recalled that she got the part shortly after experiencing a breakthrough in acting class.
“It was not an easy part to get,” she said. “They offered it to 12 or 13 other women who turned it down. So it wasn’t like I got there and everyone was like, ‘Yay, she’s here!’ It was like, ‘Mm.’ But I knew walking on that set that I was enough.”
