Sharon Stone

Sharon Vonne Stone (Meadville, Pennsylvania, March 10, 1958) is an American actress. She gained great fame as a film actress for her role in Paul Verhoeven's Basic Instinct . ==Life Course[ Edit] == Stone was born as the second child (of four) of Joe and Dorothy Stone, both from the working class. They turned out to prefer books to read than to play with other children. With an IQ of 154, she was on her fifteenth admitted on the Edinboro University.

In the late 1970s she went to work as a model with the Ford Modeling Agency. She was among other things to admire in ads and commercials for Burger King, Clairol,Revlon and Maybelline. Life as a model gave birth to her little, and in 1980 she started acting. Sharon Stone in 1980 had a small role in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories, her debut.

In 1984 she met television producer Michael Greenburg (known by MacGyver), with whom she married. The marriage held less than three years and in 1990 followed the divorce.

In the rest of the 1980s, however, they had trouble getting to find roles outside the stereotype of the "dumb blonde" layers. The films in which she played at that time (including King Solomon's Mines, Police Academy 4, Action Jackson), were not a success among critics and the public.

This changed in 1990, when she got a role in Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall, as the bitchy wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger . Also that year she posed for Playboy. Although this film her breakthrough would mean, it took two years before they had a significant role, in Verhoeven's Basic Instinct, in which she played the leading role alongsideMichael Douglas. By this film, in which she plays a chilly bisexual seductress, where possible, a serial killer was in hides, Sharon Stone a true star. Especially the scene in which the police during an interrogation by her legs from each other moved, to reveal that she was wearing no panties, is world famous.

In the subsequent films, Sliver and The Specialist (with Sylvester Stallone), expanded them further on the erotic and seductive from her two Verhoeven-movies. However, In 1995 showed Stone of its serious side, with roles in Sam Raimi's western The Quick and the Dead and Martin Scorsese's Casino. For the last film she got a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for best actress.

Most of the subsequent films were found to have no success. The only exception to this was the animated Antzinsects. Recently played Stone opposite Halle Berry in the long-awaited, but eventually Catwomanmovie flopped. In 2006 is the continuation of Basic Instinct, Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction, premiere.

In 1998, she married editor Phil Bronstein. They divorced in 2004. They have an adopted son, Roan Joseph, born in 2000. Stone also has a second adopted son, Laird Vonne, born in 2005. And a third daughter Demi Joanna.

Sharon Stone came out openly In 2005 for her bisexuality. She is a known advocate for the equal rights of homosexuals. In 2008 she was during the Cannes Film festivalin Hong Kong interviewed on the red carpet. It was to her asked if she knew of the earthquake in Sichuan, China. Then she gave as answer they the earthquake have found interesting, because she found that the Chinese against the Tibetans are unfriendly and that she was very good friends with the Dalai Lama. She has said that she found the earthquake a form of karma. Before they ran, she had added a number of bad words to the interview. Sharon Stone has apologised for her later[1]. The Dalai Lama has admitted that he had contacts with Sharon Stone, but has now taken away from Mrs. Stone after this event. ==Filmography (selection)[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
