The actress took to Instagram to share her original audition tape for the 1992 thriller, in which she smokes, swears and downs a drink.
Wearing her trademark blonde tresses down in a messed up ‘do, the 59-year-old oozed sexiness as she chatted to Detective Nick Curran, eventually played by Michael Douglas.
Dressed in a skimpy blouse, Sharon teased a hint of her nipples as she lit a cigarette and wound up the fictional officer.
Flashing an intense but cheeky glare at her companion, the film star looked very comfortable in the role which would eventually make her an icon worldwide.

Sharon Stone admitted the role was not easy to get
“[Catherine Tramell] was not an easy part to get,” she revealed on Oprah's Master Class in 2014.
“They offered it to 12 or 13 other women who turned it down. So it wasn't like I got there and everyone was like, ‘Yay, she's here!’ It was like, ‘Mmmm.’ But I knew walking on that set that I was enough.”
Basic Instinct follows a detective investigating the brutal murder of a wealthy rock star, where he soon comes across an enigmatic writer, who quickly becomes his prime suspect.
