Sharon Stone recently took to Instagram to recreate one of her most iconic onscreen moments from the 1992 film Basic Instinct. In the original scene, Stone's character, Catherine Tramell, famously uncrossed her legs to reveal she wasn't wearing underwear. Stone, now 66, recreated this moment in a hot pink underwear set while seated in a gold chair with white shag cushions.
The original scene solidified Stone as a sex symbol and was parodied in a sketch on Saturday Night Live when Stone hosted the show in 1992. Despite some controversy surrounding the sketch, Stone herself didn't seem to mind, acknowledging that societal norms were different back then.
Stone's career reached its peak in the '90s, but suffered a setback in 2001 when she experienced a stroke and a seven-day brain bleed. The recovery process took seven years, during which Stone felt like she had been left behind by her peers in Hollywood.
In a recent interview, Stone expressed her disappointment at losing momentum during her recovery period. She noted that the industry had moved on without her, and she no longer had the same level of influence and opportunities as before.
