'That was how I saw my vagina-shot for the first time, long after I'd been told, 'We can't see anything – I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on,'' Stone wrote. But Stone said that after the movie was finished she was invited to a preview screening with the entire crew as well as all the agents and producers involved with the film, where she saw that her crotch was indeed visible.
