Guys,
First off lemme confess that am a die hard fan of Jeanne Tripplehorn. Having said that I would love to get your take on this. We all know who eventually became the Hollywood superstar after this movie, but my question is who was the actual hottie in Basic Instinct. Jeanne or Sharon? Be as objective about it as you can. For me it'll always be Jeanne. She's the MILF of them two even now, isn't she? Remember, 'Big Love'? -

Your question is somewhat silly. While I agree Tripplehorn looked amazing in the film, Sharon Stone's character was MEANT to be a promiscuous, intelligent bombshell from the very start - that was the essence of the character. And while her actual "hotness" is up to everyone's personal taste, in the context of the movie and it's content Catherine was the 'hottie'.
I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean. -

I think it would have been much more interesting if Sharon and Jeane had switched roles. Sharon has got more the bad girl look, and Jeane the innocent good girl look, which is why it would have better the other way around. If Jeanne had acted like a promiscuous femme fatale, then she definitely would have been more sexy, hands down.

Great response to these very silly low brow questions: "Who is hotter"
Not that this particular movie should be regarded as a work of fine art, (though it's very well made). I guess
there'll always be a group of people who look at movies and reduce the flick to explosions and tits and will look at nudes in
paintings and say "whoa check out the rack on that one." -

Good question, and not easily answered.
NikitaXC13 covered my opinions almost exactly.
In my opinion, Jeanne Tripplehorn's features, individually, are more attractive and sensual, but put together they're not as intriguing as Sharon Stone's, who comes across as more beautiful, overall, though her features, taken individually, are less striking and plainer.
Watching Basic Instinct, I simply could not look away from Sharon Stone, who - to me - looks just about as beautiful as any woman ever has in a film. The plain-ness of her features comes together to create stunning, perfect beauty. And of course a lot of credit has to go to Jan de Bont and his crew who lit and photographed her.
But Jeanne is another matter. She is a beauty in the opposite way to Sharon Stone. Her looks are much more 'interesting'. Basically, she's funny-lookin', but this is her charm, The imperfection of her features makes her utterly intriguing. The eyes in particular are incredible.
Watching Basic Instinct I was very drawn to both ladies, but there were some scenes with Stone when I was just thinking 'this is a good as any woman has ever looked'. With Jeanne, the closest I got was 'her eyes are amazing'.
I have to vote for Sharon on this one.
Never defend crap with "It's just a movie"

watched this movie a few times but it wasn't until last night watching it again on tv,that i really paid attention to Leilani Sarelle {Roxy} what a beautiful woman,she is by far prettier than both Stone and Tripplehorn IMO,although lets be honest all 3 are pretty hot.
