One could assume Sharon Stone followed her basic instincts when appearing on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.

The Oscar-nominated actress joined the sketch comedy show's musical guest, Sam Smith, for their performance of "Gloria," in which Stone's acting was subtle. Stone, 64, laid down for part of the performance and then sat up and dramatically stared out into the distance.

"You know, I think I'd feel more comfortable if I could sit down," she said before taking a seat and lighting a cigarette, like in the movie's famous investigation scene.
