After 12 rejections, Stone bagged 'Basic Instinct'









Hollywood superstar Sharon Stone has revealed that she got the role of Catherine Tramell in' Basic Instinct'after 12 actresses had rejected it before her.


The 51-year-old actress had campaigned eight months for the 1992 role after her manager stole the script from a secretary's desk, reported New York Post.


" After 12 actresses turned down the role, it was finally mine," Stone told her Hamptons Film Festival fans at the Bay Theater in Sag Harbor.


The actress also revealed that she wore an Armani pantsuit and a sheer blouse with no bra underneath to the audition for the role just to prove that she had no problem with nudity. Stone also admitted that although she wasn't shy when Paul Verhoeven filmed her leg-crossing scene, but she was shocked at the first preview, when the audience gasped.


" After a week of considering to stop the release of the movie, I decided it fit the character in the film and it should stay in," she said.
