Sharon Stone wore a transparent blouse to win her part in 'Basic Instinct'.
The 51-year-old actress - who played Catherine Stone in the 1992 erotic thriller - was so desperate to win the part she resorted to flashing her flesh in figure-hugging clothes.
The New York Post newspaper reports: "To audition for 'Basic Instinct', Sharon Stone wore an Armani pantsuit and a sheer blouse with no bra underneath just to show she had no problem with nudity."
Sharon - who, according to the publication, made her confession at the Hamptons Film Festival at the Bay Theater in Sag Harbor - learnt about the part after reading the movie script, which her manager had taken from a desk.
She tried to win the role for eight months, but didn't get a look in until she bravely showed off her body.
The blonde star explained: "After 12 actresses turned down the role, it was finally mine."
Sharon - who was awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Acting award at the event on Sunday (11.10.09) - also spoke about the infamous leg-crossing scene, in which she is seen without underwear.
Revealing how surprised she was at the public's reaction to the scene, Sharon said: "After a week of considering to stop the release of the movie, I decided it was appropriate for the character in the film and it should stay in."
