Sharon Stone wore see-through top and ‘nothing under it’ for Michael Douglas

Sharon Stone “wore nothing” under a “very sheer” dress for her Basic Instinct audition to “prove” she was comfortable with nudity.

It’s ‘that scene’ that thrust the gorgeous actress into sex symbol territory overnight.

Sharon, 65, went into the 1992 erotic thriller’s opening weekend as a relative nobody, but a few swift, knickerless crosses of the legs later, she emerged as a Hollywood sensation.

But it wasn’t all plain sailing to clinch the racy role of femme fatale Catherine Tramell, and the Total Recall actress had to prove to film lead Michael Douglas that she was “comfortable with the nudity”.

After leaving 14 other women in her dust in the initial audition, Michael, reluctant as Sharon wasn’t a big enough name, agreed to run a screen test with her.

But in order to be a cut above the rest, director Paul Verhoeven told her to up the eroticism in the scene.

“Paul said, ‘Well, you’re gonna have to somehow prove to him that you’re comfortable with the nudity’,” Sharon revealed to CNN last Thursday (July 27).

She added: “And so I bought this very sheer, almost nude colour blouse, and wore nothing under it.

“And so halfway through the test, I just took off my jacket in the middle of the scene. I saw Michael, look at me, and then look at Paul, like, ‘Get her.’”

Despite initially being apprehensive about co-starring alongside a Hollywood newbie, slack-jawed Michael swiftly changed his mind.

“The test went really well. And I got the job, Sharon said.

Sharon previously revealed that she felt Verhoeven misled her about the film’s infamous nude scene.

Her murder-suspect character, Catherine, uncrosses her legs and puts everything on show whilst in an interrogation scene with Michael.

After the scene was shot, she slapped the director across the face, went to her car and called her lawyer, she wrote in her 2021 memoir The Beauty of Living Twice.
