BASIC INSTINCT FANTASY
Debra Messing was
Sharon Stone for that moment. Everyone was stunned when Debra walked onto set; the recreation of the scene was so real it was eerie. It delighted Director
Dan Lerner who says Debra doesn’t act in these fantasies; she transforms.
It’s intimidating enough to spread your legs in front of the entire cast and crew, but
Debra Messing is nothing if not a good sport. During the scene she decided to play a prank and wore underwear that had an appropriately placed effigy ‘Say Please’, but everyone was trying so hard not to look that it wasn’t seen for numerous takes.
Debra’s leg spreading became increasingly feverous trying to get someone to see and register the joke. No one will admit to being the first to see the gag, but Messing finally got the last laugh.
