SHARON STONE - STONE TO FIT HER CAR WITH DROWNING DEVICE AFTER FILM TRAUMA

SHARON STONE was so traumatised by a drowning sequence in BASIC INSTINCT 2 she is fitting a safety device to her family car to make sure she can escape if her motor ever ends up underwater. The actress was trapped underwater when her foot got caught in a car crash scene, leaving her fighting for breath. And even though she's a qualified deep sea diver, the incident made her realise that you can never be too careful. She says, "Quite frankly I'm getting those things that you put in your car that you drill into the side that if you do go under water it busts the window. "I think every car should come standard with those things because how do you get out of your car if something like that happens." Stone admits she's still haunted by the memory of almost drowning. She adds, "It was so traumatic. I've had all sorts of nightmares. I'll be sitting having dinner with someone and realise I'm holding my breath. "I'd wake up at night during the days when we were shooting the car scene thinking, 'I can't breathe.' It was so intense and so stressful to shoot that scene."
