Popular Hollywood actress Sharon Stone has revealed that she earned way less than actor Michael Douglas, her co-star in the hit movie titled ‘Basic Instinct’.

Sharon Stone made the revelation while speaking about the groundbreaking film, at the New York Women In Film & Television 43rd annual Muse Awards launch.

She said that said she got short changed as she only made $500,000 for the 1992 s3x thriller $13.5 million less than her co-star Michael Douglas for her popular role.

“Michael Douglas made $14 million. Now, I was new. I was new and he was a very big star,” she told the crowd of mostly female film and TV execs on Wednesday, March 29.

Sharon Stone said that she was negatively impacted by the salary gap, but she also suffered humiliation from one of the line producers, who referred to her as Karen throughout the “entirety of the film.”

“Even at the Governor’s Ball [after the Oscars], he still called me ‘Karen!” she said.

“I carried that humiliation really deeply within me-even though my name wasn’t on the poster,” she said.
