Before starring together in "Basic Instinct," Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas had a heated argument that Stone says almost cost her the role.

When asked by the outlet how she landed the role, Stone shared that filmmaker Paul Verhoeven — who directed her in Total Recall two years earlier — didn't bring up Basic Instinct to her when they filmed their previous movie. "What happened was I wanted the part, but nobody would give me the script," Stone shared.

Michael Douglas 'doesn't remember' arguing with future 'Basic Instinct' costar Sharon Stone when they first met.
