Girls in
Total Recall (1990)

The director of Showgirls, Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers, and other skin classics was born on this date in 1938.

On the brink of World War II and Nazi occupation, Amsterdam welcomed among its citizenry Paul Verhoeven.

The loopy little Dutch boy would grow up to become on of cinema's most erotically provocative masters, beginning with arthouse hits made in his homeland such as Spetters, Soldier of Orange, and The Fourth Man.

Once he crossed the sea to Hollywood, Verhoeven created the hyper-violent but thought-provoking and skin-ventive sci-epics Total Recall, Starship Troopers, and Hollow Man.

Still, he is best (and properly) revered for his two most towering contributions to world skinema—Basic Instinct and Showgirls.

Mr. Skin Hall-of-Famer Sharon Stone, has bared her bod in a respectable seventeen movies and one TV show since she first revealed her rack to Ryan O'Neal in the 1984 comedy Irreconcilable Differences. In 1990, the accidental appearance of Sharon's stones in the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi flick Total Recall and their subsequent intentional appearance in the pages of Playboy put Sharon high on the list of girls I'd like to see more of. In 1992, I got my wish with the blonde babe's now-infamous crotch shot in Basic Instinct. After hitting the trifecta by baring her breasts, butt and bush in Sliver. Whether she's flashing her gash, having Sapphic sex with Ellen DeGeneres or bringing peace to the Middle East, Sharon Stone is one over-50 babe who will always turn a certain part of me to stone.

A former Miss Teen Illinois Contestant dishes the skinny on her fellow pageant hopefuls (and even winners!) who went on to peel down on the silver screen.
