She's the star of one of the most talked about people.

I'm just going to stick with one or the other here. Our next guest is one of the

most talked about people in the movie business these days.

She is the star of the controversial hit thriller, Basic Instinct. Ladies and

gentlemen, please welcome back to the program, Sharon Stone.

You look great.

You were here on this program once before, weren't you? How long ago was

that? It's been probably about two years. Two years ago. Total recall.

Total recall. And in those days, you were a movie star.

You were an actress who made films, and you were a movie star. But now, you're

like a blockbuster. You're a megastar. You're a big deal. Suddenly, you're just

like a skyrocket. It's pretty weird.

Yeah. Any trouble adjusting to that? Yeah, it's sort of weird. I mean, you

know, Friday, I was this actress who...

Yeah, it was okay. I could maybe get a job.

Monday, it was like, walking down the street, we'll go, Sharon Stone!

I go, what?

People startled you, didn't they? They scare me a little because they yell my

name, and then I don't know, do I know you? Should I know you? Did we go to

school together?

Are you my cousin?

Are you a killer?

Now, is it people I guess? No, this is not a dumb question.

Obviously, people are recognizing you from this film because it's your most

recent work. Now, does that pose any problems? Do they think that you're

goofy, that you're nuts, that you're dangerous, that you're a psycho killer

yourself? Everybody calls me Miss Stone.

They go like this, Miss Stone, hi.

So they're very nice to you then. They're treating you with respect.

They're a little scared.

What was it like making this film?

It was fun. It was a long shoot. We shot five months in San Francisco and Carmel

and LA. What about that Michael Douglas guy? How's he?

He's pretty good.

Pretty good guy. Did you get along all right with him? Yeah, I did. I mean, we

read a lot of stuff in the paper. Well, I read a lot of stuff in the paper.

Every day now about this other life I never known if you find that that there

are reports of your activities in newspapers that are not necessarily

based in reality I saw in the other day that said that this This actor had come

up to me in a club and giving me his phone number and I'd ripped it up thrown

it on the ground And said I'm out of your league cowboy And that really hurt

my feelings

But that didn't happen. No.

Yeah, but it's a good story. I like that you're out of my league. Cowboy.

That's an excellent touch.

And when you made it, now people are saying that there's a lot of exciting,

sexually explicit material that did not make it into the final cut of the film.

Is that true? Is there a lot of really good stuff someplace?

I don't mean that what's in the film is not really good, but you know what I'm

saying. Yeah. Is there other things floating around? Yeah. And was it

difficult to do that kind of work on a soundstage in front of...

you know, technicians and guys walking around drinking Diet Pepsi.

Well, the crew was a really lovely group of people. Of course they were.

I'd be lovely, too, if I was in on that.

If I thought that's where I'm going to work today, oh, I'd be a prince.

I read in another one of these rags that...

It was so steamy that it turned into a 400-person orgy, but Miss Stone was so

worked up she had to go to her trailer.

I'm like, how come I'll get worked up and go to my trailer?

Now, I think, yeah, they asked you to leave. Yeah, you have to go now. But

now, I mean, I understand how people would fantasize about that kind of

thing, and they would exaggerate just to sell magazines and newspapers and so

forth. On the other hand, if you think about it, What must have been involved

seems very awkward and perhaps uncomfortable.

Oh, it's incredibly dumb. Yeah. It's just dumb.

I mean, you do love scenes and...

You know, you're so close, you have to keep moving so that the camera can see

you and you have everything orchestrated and everybody moves all together and the

technicians are there.

And then, of course, because you've got your director going, okay, roll over

now, turn now, lean up now, kiss now. You have to go back in and do the sound

later. Yeah. So you're standing alone in this room with a microphone in the dark

watching this black and white grainy messed up print of the film going by and

you're going, ah, oh, ah, ah.

Yes, yes.

The thing got cut.

I took my mom.
