HOT GALLERY: Basic Instinct—a Look Back at the Sexual Thriller on Its 20th Anniversary
It’s been 20 years since this steamy sexual thriller hit the big screen and caused loads of controversy with all the sex and violence that writer Joe Eszterhas could dream up and director Paul Verhoeven could get on camera. Take a look back at the cast of Basic Instinct and beware of sharp objects that break ice—especially if you’re a male! By Romi Stepovich
Jeanne Tripplehorn as Dr. Beth Garner
Jeanne Tripplehorn attended the Juilliard School in New York City, then went on to act in John Patrick Shanley’s off-Broadway play The Big Funk in 1990. After that, she had a role in the 1991 TV movie The Tribute, about Abraham Lincoln. A far cry from her next role as the bicurious psychologist Dr. Beth Garner, who has hot, steamy sex with Michael Douglas in her first feature film performance. Too bad he accidentally shoots her. She forgives him as she’s dying, though; her last words said it all: “I loved you, Nick.”
