Sharon’s braless blouse got her Basic Instant role

New York (ANI): Actress Sharon Stone says she donned an Armani pantsuit and just a blouse with no bra underneath while auditioning for "Basic Instinct," to prove she was okay with nudity. The 51-year-old star made the revelation before her Hamptons Film Festival fans at the Bay Theater in Sag Harbor.

"After 12 actresses turned down the role, it was finally mine," the New York Post quoted her as saying. Stone said she was not at all uncomfortable when Paul Verhoeven filmed her leg-crossing scene but was shocked to see the audience"s reaction at the first preview of the flick.

She said: "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."
