Sharon Stone on making 'Basic Instinct', actress calls it a ‘scary’ experience

Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone recently looked back on her experience of shooting Basic Instinct and the other ’90s-era erotic thrillers that have defined her Hollywood career.


Discussing the renewed appreciation for the movie genre at VultureFest recently, the actor, 65, told a publication that making Basic Instinct was a “scary” process that led her to examine herself in oftentimes uncomfortable ways. The 1992 movie, co-starring Michael Douglas and Jeanne Tripplehorn, sparked a controversy when it released due to its sexually explicit scenes.



“I got to confront my whole self, and that’s a scary journey,” she admitted. “But once you do it, you walk away with a tremendous amount of confidence because you’ve had to look at all of yourself, parts of yourself you would never have to dig deep and look at, scary parts, dark parts, concerning parts. And once you do that, you get quite a bit of confidence because you’ve really looked into the dark mirror.”

During a VultureFest panel discussion with film critic Jerry Saltz, Stone also opened up about her newfound passion for painting — and the surprising moment that inspired her to pick up a brush.
