Sharon Stone in `Basic Instinct`
Filmmaker Paul Verhoeven, who directed the 1992 neo-noir erotic thriller Basic Instinct, recently refuted actor Sharon Stone`s claim that she was "tricked" into showing frontal nudity in the film. Verhoeven told in a recent interview, "My memory is radically different from Sharon`s memory. That does not stand in the way and has nothing to do with the wonderful way that she portrayed Catherine Tramell."
Speaking about his current dynamic with the actor, he added, "She is absolutely phenomenal. We still have a pleasant relationship and exchange text messages." Verhoeven further went on to say that Stone`s version of events was "impossible".
