Can Sharon Stone make a comeback?

Did she relearn how to wear panties like a lady?

I fucking love her, I hope she can.

And she has been relentless in her work for AIDS charities

She is really beautiful. I like her. And I love that she keeps that streak of gray hair at her temples. But can she act well?

The guy interviewing her has the worst hair dye job.

I really don't understand why she's such a huge star. She's one of those "Hollywood Royalty" types and I don't see much reason for it.

Don't kill for it! It's just a tree.

I loved Kathy Griffin's story about how pretentious/stupid she is at some awards show.

This is another story from a dinner (at 2:30)

Perhaps the last truly stunning classic beauty Hollywood turned out. She's a total whack job, I have doubts about her story (DRAMA QUEEN ALERT!!!) and her feminist rhetoric is a bunch of "empowerment" baloney, but I can't deny her charisma.

I think she is sort of making this shit up. She has been prone to exaggeration. She once said she cured herself of breast cancer or something like that by drinking coffee. She is a loon but I do sort of love her.

Her house looks amazing. I don't get how she has so much $$. I guess she made a boatload modeling overseas too where she if more of an icon.

Her son in really short.

Of course she's nuts, that's part of what makes her a Movie Star. Who the hell wants to stare at boring sane people for ninety straight minutes?

I love how she said she wanted to buy Montgomery Clift's house to preserve the pool.

Then, they pull back and you can see that not one thing has been left as it was.

r10, I believe she has her own substantial personal assets, and she probably took some of Phil Bronstein's wealth when they divorced.

According to IMDB, Stone’s attaches to the forthcoming follow on to “The Young Pope” entitled “The New Pope.” I am intrigued by the prospect of Stone in a habit.

[quote] Of course she's nuts, that's part of what makes her a Movie Star.

We like nuts.

She should angle for a role in the next Tarantino.

She had a stroke in addition to the aneurysm?

Stone walked away with 60+ million from Bronstein, she never has to work unless she wants to.

The aneurysm caused the stroke.

I never thought she was a good actress, but she was a world class beauty. I think she actually looks better now than she did when she was younger; she has an elegant, patrician look, which is not common in older actresses, because they try too hard to look young and sexy. Her beauty looks effortless. I can see her doing a high profile tv mini series.

I love Sharon Stone. She’s insanely beautiful and has that certain star quality about her that you either have or you don’t. I can’t believe she’s 60. Are you reading this, Lindsay Lohan?

[quote] The aneurysm caused the stroke.

But didn't that happen like 17 years ago? The way you're all going on, it seemed as though there was a second, much more recent incident. The woman has been working steadily (if not in as high profile of projects) since that incident in 2001.

She crazier than a tree full of schizophrenic squirrels!

r23, that's two good ideas for the "Names for bands" thread, at least

R22 The aneurysm becomes a story each time she has a larger profile project to promote. They always present it as if it's some private horror that's just now being revealed. It was last used when she was promoting her series, Agent X, in 2015.

I call fake

Sharon - girl, please

The Gap In-Store Playlists are rooting for you, Sharon!

Model turned "actress"

She's always seemed a bit weird to me. Maybe that lunatic weirdness was the stroke waiting to happen?

Maybe she'll be normal now.

I love her. She’s beautiful, charismatic, intelligent and interesting. What’s not to love?

The vibrant Sharon at the Oscars in March 1996 wearing our Women's Short-Sleeved Stretch Mock Turtleneck!

I do like her a lot, and she has done some good charitable work - just seems like that story is a little questionable maybe.

I think it's a bit of PR spin to try and reframe her career in light of the new HBO show "Mosaic" (and explain away a decade of bizarre non-Hollywood movies and failed TV shows) and a tiny cameo in "The Disaster Artist". She was reportedly fired from the movie "American Ultra" by Jessie Eisenberg himself because she refused to or couldn't learn her lines (although he seems like an insufferable aspies asshole and that movie bombed so whatever). She probably would have been better off learning to act on stage and devoting herself to her craft in order to age more gracefully (as an actor). But I won't argue that she's one of the most attractive actresses of the past 50 years. She reminds me more of an East Coast patrician woman, which is what she should play. Or a lesbian. Anything but someone with an accent and de-glammed.

She and Fonda are tops for plastic surgery.

I never could see her cooch in that scene. It just looked like a shadow.

I love SS, she's gorgeous, seems like a genuine good person, and I can watch "Casino" a thousand time because of her. A true joy.

As someone who has encountered her numerous times in social situations, the one word I would use to describe her is "Pretentious," followed by "full.of.herself."

No. She always has been crazy and comes off as a pretentious ahole

She's beautiful and a wonderful talent. She reminds me of my sister who is the same age so I have an extra soft spot for Sharon.

She didn’t have any kind of stroke. That was all made up for sympathy and I can’t believe she is still lying about it

She looks more beautiful than ever. I see her as a modern day Dina Merrill.

She would have made an excellent Joan Crawford in FEUD. Maybe even more convincing than Jessica Lange.

Yeah but Jessica can act circles around her. Jessica gets nuance..Sharon not so much.

Let's put it this way: Patricia Neal got over her several strokes, learned to walk and talk and went on with her movie career and scored another Oscar nom all in less time and with less fuss than this phony Sharon Stone. I call total bullshit.

"But when Stone recently challenged the agreement, seeking to move Roan to Los Angeles, Judge Massullo sided with Bronstein. Massullo made headlines by repeating a claim of Bronstein’s that Stone suggested Botox injections as a way to deal with Roan’s smelly feet. It is a claim Stone vehemently denies. “Sharon never made any statements on the issue of putting Botox in the child’s feet,” her lawyer Marty Singer told PEOPLE. “This generally happens in divorces involving custody: People name-call and make accusations that the other one is a bad parent. It’s very unfortunate because the child in many cases is the one who suffers.”

Is that the house that Montgomery Clift was living in when he died in the car crash at the foot of the drive?

I loved her in The Muse. Perfect light comedy vehicle for her.

She's literally the biggest whore the town has known. Banged down the hotel doors of many a director and producer and wills herself onto men ... or she did.

Joe Eszterhas wrote about her in Hollywood Animal his memoir and she came off a total fame slut and one who spread them for everything she has in her life. And he hit that as well lol.

But, did she know?

Tell us more, R38!

I always found her trashy and slutty.

I don't believe a word that comes out of her mouth, but it's immensely entertaining to watch and listen to the bullshit she comes up with.

OH she's a complete phony and loony, but I enjoy watching her and she looks fantastic. I want to watch this HBO thing.

Where's the source of her money? Simple, Dahling: she had a child with her more recent former husband and never remarried when they'd divorced (2004). Ka-ching!

Smart girl.

doubtful she is one of the least liked actresses in the biz shallow, megomaniacal and jus mean

one wonders how she suppports her xpensive lifestyle..... hmmmm

she was so hated by the crew on King Solomon Mines with R Chamberlain that they all pissed in a bucket that was used to drop 'water' onto her in some shower scene.

she aint known for her......compatability.

god i bet her sons have wild storys...

TODAYS MOMMIE DEAREST?

She's a good egg

Stone should have played Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction. At least she would have been believable as a femme fatale instead of that Gorgon Glenn Close.

Isn’t her new “show” just a silly video game? She is too much trying for a comeback when she is on the D list

The Quick and the Dead was supposed to be her star vehicle but Leo and Russell Crowe-- both unknowns--- stole the movie from her. I remember the reviews about her were bad and she got pissed.

She's not, as lawyer's would say, a reliable witness.

Her stroke was very real and very serious. In fact it's the stroke that made her as goofy as she is. She's never been the same and her memory is shot so it's nearly impossible to remember lines.

She's so weird and awkward in THIS....omg

VERY PRO-gay and worked tirelessly for AIDS.

She once said, re one of her husbands, who she felt married her for her looks and persona, the more I revealed of my true self, the more horrified he became.

How many husbands did she have? The only one I can remember is Phil Bronstein. They made a nice-looking couple. Too bad it didn't work out.

R65 She was married to a low level producer for a few years before that...pre-fame.

Strange, all of her adopted children are Aryan looking beauties like her. How did she arrange that?

R48 she more or less admitted to that (without spelling it out) in yesterday's interview/OP's link.

I heard stories that she slept with Michael Douglas during Basic Instinct and Russell Crowe when they made The Quick and the Dead. But she was so beautiful, why wouldn't they?

She was my classmate growing up.

Beautiful and really sweet.

She is lovely. And that house is amazing.

She definitely played the game. She was 33 when they cast her for Basic Instinct, which was actually age appropriate but in Hollywood that is past prime.

Why would Bronstein have that kind of money? Nothing in his Wikipedia bio hints at family money. I don’t think you get that rich being the editor of a SF newspaper. I’m sure he’s well off but over $120M in wealth? Someone enlighten me.

You might forget in the ‘90s, post-Basic Instinct, she pulled down star salaries for 8 or 8 major studio films, around the time Julia Roberts was making $20M a movie. I’m sure Stone was averaging at least $10M for each of those films. Plus she had plenty of “Actress” money from career pre-BI. She worked all the time and was already headlining straight to video fare at that time. I’m sure she invested well.

Btw, what was her cameo in The Disaster Artist? People aren’t confusing her with Melanie Griffith, are they?

Stone isn’t the best actress but she’s dedicated and committed to what she does. She stole the show from DeNiro and Pesci in Casino.

^8 or 9

exactly, I'm sure she made MILLIONS in her prime.

never understand why people don't get this

[quote]She's literally the biggest whore the town has known.

That would be Joan, darling.

Fuck you r77.....I earned that title fair and square......

Where did you grow up, R71?

I'll take her performances in Basic Instinct and Casino over any two Julia Roberts' performances any day. I prefer an honest edge to pretending to be sweet (especially considering Roberts was apparently the real biatch behind the scenes).

R74 She plays Greg Sestero's agent, Iris Burton (who was apparently a real person). She only shows up in one scene in the film.

You're right: she had been a working actress for years before Basic Instinct. She had supporting roles in many wide-wide release films (Total Recall, He Said She Said, Above the Law, and more), tv work (regular, guest spots, pilots, miniseries), and leads in direct to dvd stuff. Combined with the "star" money she got after Basic Instict (which goes beyond just doing film work -- there are so many revenue streams available for a name star like her), she most likely made enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

Even after her star had faded, there were opportunities for big paychecks (she would have earned millions for Basic Instict 2), and she still earns a premium for any acting or appearances she does do just for being a "name."

I wonder if she'll ever direct. I mean, anyone apparently can these days.

[quote]She plays Greg Sestero's agent, Iris Burton (who was apparently a real person). She only shows up in one scene in the film.

I like that she doesn't feel it'e beneath her to appear in one scene in an indie film.

^ it's

She appeared on Will and Grace as the therapist Dr. Georgia. That was hilarious.

Her children look very happy in the videos and pics. So she seems to be doing that right.

I love her. She's super hot and super crazy. What's not to love?

She's the closest thing that Hollywood has come to Joan Crawford since...Joan Crawford. Terrible, phony, yet-strangely hypnotic acting, casting couch, personal life completely on display for PR, difficult to work with, and I'm sure those kids have a hell of a book up their sleeves...

I have the same chairs as her! The ones around her breakfast table. Mine are covered in a blue fabric, though. I guess we have a special bond now.

[quote]I love her. She's super hot and super crazy. What's not to love?

Gays LOVE nutty women.

Probably because they know they'll never end up with one.

Whereas straight guys, they're their worst nightmare.

A lot of gays are basically nutty women.

It's fascinating to me how many women in Hollywood are being labeled "crazy" or "difficult." Ashley Judd was called crazy, Annabella Sciorra, Mira Sorvino, etc. Hmm....

Agree with (47) She is awfully good in 'The Muse.' Funny and sexy.

I hate to perv on a kid, but check out her oldest son, Roan. Holy smokes he is going to be hot af when he is older.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

For a fat check you can do more than look.

Mama's got a house payment.

She is never going to make a comeback because established directors do not want to work with her. And at 60, she can only get supporting parts

[quote] She once said, re one of her husbands, who she felt married her for her looks and persona, the more I revealed of my true self, the more horrified he became.

Rita Hayworth made a similar remark.

As if I didn't love her enough, I get intimations of Baroness Schraeder when Sharon's shooting hoops with her sons.

Love. Her.

she got paid 16 millions for Basic Instinct 2, if you can believe that. I adore La Stone and hope she can have a great second act.

remember that dreadful black dress?

Not Grace Kelly.

Why are people acting like she dosent have any money? She made plenty of movies and made plenty of money. Sharon's career isn't even close to being over. I'm sure there's so much more to come from her.

Sharon Stone is risking her health and well being sitting under that Brugmansia tree--it is a highly toxic plant that can cause disorientation and death.

Why hasn't someone warned her of this????!!!

*****ALERT**** ****BREAKING***** *****ALERT***** ****BREAKING*****

To Sharon Stone, if you are reading this:

The Brugmansia tree in your yard is HIGHLY TOXIC and you should not be sitting under it for any period of time!!!

Yes, it smells nice, but many have fallen asleep under it and have perished!!! This is a very notorious plant in history!!!

PLEASE HEED MY WARNING

xoxoxoxo

She's always been a little too "shanty" looking. "Lace Curtain" at best. Throw some red hair on her head and she's Lohan.

People here talk like she was on par with Viv Leigh. A true beauty. Stone has that cheap look to her. Her features are symmetrical but none outstanding. She reminds me of that family that stuffed 6 kids into a home suitable for 2 and everyone was relieved when they moved to OK bc they slanted up the neighborhood. Go eat some potatoes.

I'd like to talk a little about this Brugmansia tree Ms. Stone has in her yard, and then address how it may influence a "comeback," per noted in this thread.

First of all the 'Angel Trumpet" tree is, like all plants in the Solanaceae family, are highly, highly toxic and not be be messed with in any physical capacity, hence my warning to her about sitting under it's 'spell' for any length of time.

However, if she has bonded with the plant spirit, and is in an intimate and devoted relationship with it, (and even then, one treads VERY carefully with Solanaceae) Ms. Stone is then able to access her divine spirit and assistance.

So, yes, not only is a "comeback" in store for her but eternal youth, strength of body, and a musical outlook is in the works, for the rest of her life.

Never touch Our Lady Solanaceae, but love and respect her from a distance, and ask for her divine love and acceptance.

Clearly Ms. Stone is able to access other dimensions via her Brugmansia tree---be careful though!!!

I don't know she looks pretty classically beautiful to me. She looks like she would have been considered beautiful in the 1940's-present.

I fucking love the Baroness comparison! That is dead on.

Baroness S and Grace Kelly disn't look like they ate potatoes morn', noon & night like Stone and Lohan. Blaech.

Silly Mary @ R106! Do you even hear yourself? You wonder why people develop that expression on their faces? Well, you do now.

She's a pretentious, lying ass. Nobody wanted to work with you because you reverted to being your mean girl self when you thought you could.

Can't stand her along with of all workers in Hollywood. Narcissistic bitch over estimated herself. Got blacklisted.

Did that reporter do a home dye job with L'Oreal's Medium Ash Brown? Distracting!

Exactly R109. Like comparing a Nordic beauty with Mrs. O'Leary, the washer woman. Puhlease.

The grey hair at the temples is very strategic.

R96 sure, she's never going to get back to where she was in her 30s, but she can definitely claw her way back some of the way. Steven Soderbergh directed her new HBO show, Mosaic, and apparently Martin Scorsese has cast her in an upcoming film. Combined with her cameo in the Disaster Artist, I'd say she's on track for a dramatic improvement in her career (compared to what it's been like for the last 10 years).

A comeback?

She would have had to have BEEN.

Highly toxic according Wikipedia: “ These hallucinations are often characterized by complete loss of awareness that one is hallucinating, disconnection from reality, and amnesia of the episode, such as one example reported in Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience of a young man who amputated his own penis and tongue after drinking only 1 cup of Brugmansia tea.”

I could see her coming back in a small way, but never as a lead. Those days for her ended in the 1990’s. It’s very hard for an actress to comeback as a lead, especially when they never were that good to begin with. Death by Trumpet Tree sounds right. Little does she know she talks to the plant that wants to kill her!

Also, those plants are really messy. Only a rich lady would keep one by a pool.

I love what Sharon Stone says in about 05:13 over on the link OP posted.

To paraphrase

Grecian Formula looking fellow delicately asks her about sexual harassment

Sharon Stone throws her head back, cackles and says, 'I've been in this business 40 years. I came from Nowhere Pennsylvania looking like how I look. I've seen it all!'

Love me some Sharon Stone, y'all. She just could give a darn. Mama gonna make that mortgage as long as that dangling buttplug looking tree of apparent death doesn't kill her first. Dang tree probably stunted her oldest son's growth. Caused her "stroke." God knows what else.

Her sons are maybe nephews? Second cousins? Something's up with how they all resemble her a bit. It's odd.

I love Sharon through it all. She's gorgeous what for her bone structure.

LOVE how she threw her head back and cackled. And told it how it is. For sure she has seen everything and isn't sitting there crying about it, but living a glamorous life instead. She climbed to the top and saw it all. Love this woman. Younger cry baby bitches should be envious of this beautiful trooper.

This thread is shaping to be a lot of fun.

Ryan Murphy really missed an opportunity by not casting her as Joan Crawford in Feud. I love Jessica, but Sharon embodies Joan's persona to a T.

If you close your eyes and listen to her answer on the sexual harassment question, you'll think it's Joan in one of her old interviews. The tone, cadence, and air of superiority is classic Joan.

the tree info is fascinating... i wonder if they ever used that in movies...

Her gray sweater is stunning. I mean really stunning.

I adore Sharon Stone! She brought back that lush, classic Hollywood glamour. She would have been a superstar in Hollywood’s heyday. I remember when she appeared at the Oscar ceremonies in the early 1990s. She dressed like a glamorous movie star in the 1930s. She was breathtaking. I saw many of her films and enjoyed them. I also admire her work for AIDS and her support of gay rights.

R94 Why is that boy touching his mom's ass?

[quote]R88 Mine are covered in a blue fabric, though. I guess we have a special bond now.

You are the official Sharon Stone of DL now. Never forget that!

And don't let ANYONE take that title from you until they provide pictures that they have HER chairs in HER fabric!!

It's RETURN!!!

[quote][R94] Why is that boy touching his mom's ass?

Gurl, please...

The only scene I remember from Casino is when she's trying to escape with the money - frantically stuffing it in her bag.

She says to the guard something like "Please help me" and "Here, have some!" Money, flying all over the place.

They got the period wrong in Casino.

It was supposed to be the 70s and she looked incredibly 60s.

Sharon Stone is 59 but looks about 40 (true), this is because Ms. Stone has accessed the plant spirit world and has submitted to it's dominance. When doing so, one can remain strong, youthful, fit, and creative.

Now my heart is sinking for another actress who became so fragile at the same age (RIP)---she chose a different route I guess, but I wish she would have adopted Ms. Stone's philosophy.

Also, please have faith in Jesus Christ my friends.

xoxoxo

She was gorgeous and and was perfect in Casino. One of my favorite movies. She made that movie.

He she is, you know, WORKING.

Gotta Hustle and WORK!

Fabulous movie

Total Recall.

Can some re-post r1's Sharon Stone interview with Lee Cowan on CBS? That link doesn't open outside the U.S. Maybe someone taped it - because the CBS website is blocking access for anyone outside the U.S.

She’s gorgeous but a terror.

“Stone, Sharon. "She had a mattress on her back to get to the top in Hollywood." Unpleasant personality--over-full of herself. Steals quotes and does not give attribution; steals jewelry and does not return it. Given to quickly selecting and then rejecting men, based on what they can do for her and what & how much they can buy her. Difficult to work with. Has had a tendency to tv shop for her one night stands--sees them on tv, rents a room, and then has her selections told to meet her there. Poor tipper. Breast implants. Dope smoker. Power-obsessed. Used the casting couch to get roles and her way on the set. Linked with Prince Albert of Monaco, Adrien Brody, Russell Crowe, Dwight Yoakam and Dweezil Zappa; reportedly nailed Bill Clinton on election night.”

And didn’t she claim to have been a MENSA member?

She's bisexual

Mensa claim was debunked in 2002, r143.

Everyone has been linked with Prince Albert of Monaco, r142.

"You can only fuck your way to the middle"

-- Sharon Stone quote (supposedly)

[quote] Highly toxic according Wikipedia: “ These hallucinations are often characterized by complete loss of awareness that one is hallucinating, disconnection from reality, and amnesia of the episode, such as one example reported in Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience of a young man who amputated his own penis and tongue after drinking only 1 cup of Brugmansia tea.”

Yes, I have had one of these things growing not far from where I sleep at night, and the plant would communicate incredibly beautiful yet complex and strange thoughts. It was great for meditating near by. After several years of communicating with it, I got "permission" to pluck out a single pollen stigma from the open flower which I chopped up with a bowl of cannabis and started smoking SLOWLY. You need a high level of trust and respect for the plant to be able to do this safely. It was blissful yet highly dissociative .

My fave was the underrated remake of "Diabolique" (1996)

"Can Sharon Stone make a comeback?"

La Stone comes back every year to Cannes.

Here's here most recent Cannes installment from 2017.

Please Ms. Stone,

Tread lightly with her; it is not at all necessary to take the plant spirit internally--she is a killer, you know.

The fact that she has been communicating with you as a friendly and welcoming spirit means she thinks of you as a warrior woman. Lady Solanaceae is the guardian of earth and she dislikes humans in general, says we make a mess of things, always polluting, etc.. however if she accepts you then you are in her 'clique,' be flattered but also understand that she chooses the toughest women on earth to be her human allies---it's not an easy job and neither is it much fun at times.

With her companionship she will take you into other realms---the dream world, and as you put it--the 'dissociative' state. Again, that's nothing to fool around with and she will and does cause memory loss and the 'zombie reality'--meaning you can feel as though you are living around dead people, so to speak.

It's best to converse with her externally only, and like you say, have her influence your dreams.

She will help you, protect you, and make you different, which you already were anyway

I love her butch assistant. They're even wearing the same clothes!

The butch assistant is her sister, I believe.

No, that's not her sister, R153.

You are correct r154. my bad.

recently randomly met her. she was cool and polite.

Why did she lose custody of her adopted kids at one point?

She only lost custody of her oldest son, the one she had with Phil Bronstein. It was never clear why, but he got primary custody while she got visitation. The boy lives or lived with him in San Fran, and visited her and the younger kids in LA.

Her weight seems to fluctuate a bit - sometimes she's very skinny, other times (especially early in her career) she had more of a Cybill Shepherd kind of build. She looks great in the interview but closer to her real age then In the clips they show of the show, where she looks much younger.

I had heard Sherrell Aston had done most of her facework, but not positive it's true.

You actually know she's a real star because , even when she gives a terrible performance, she's watchable and charismatic as f.

Very watchable, very charismatic, and gorgeous. The camera loves Sharon Stone.

R127 = Ann Miller

Diabolique is fabulous, Sharon as the only high school math teacher ever who struts around in stilettos while wearing a multiplicity of couture outfits.

[quote] such as one example reported in Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience of a young man who amputated his own penis and tongue after drinking only 1 cup of Brugmansia tea.”

He always knew deep down that he was just a nasty little slut who talked too much.

[quote]Given to quickly selecting and then rejecting men, based on what they can do for her and what & how much they can buy her ...

GOALS! I hail this fabulous bitch.

R142 Citation needed. What are you quoting.

I would love to smoke a fat one with SS.

I HATE the sweater she's wearing in the interview. I don't doubt it must cost a fortune, but she looks like your proverbial frau "cocooning" during an intense fybro flare up. She needs a mug to cradle, tho.

How can I miss her when she won't go away?

She can be the bad ass Samantha in the Sex in the City Franchise

They would need to give Sharon Stone a decent script and have her seduce Mr. Big. All hell could break loose.

adore these SS quotes:

She caused a stir in Hollywood with her comments that “In this town, if you have a vagina and a point of view, you’re considered a threat” and

“Women can fake orgasms, but men can fake whole relationships”.

Hmm, the Variety review of the Soderbergh show says, "Stone, who displays terrific range and depth, holds the screen with effortless charisma." Comeback is on, bitches.

so many actors who have worked with her hate her guts

not sure why

she must be a real bitchy bitch.

rumor has it she was a call girl in the old days....

She's not a great dramatic actress but I think that her knack for comedy is vastly underrated. Examples: "The Muse", the guest stint on W&G where she was one of their better guest stars.

in her answer about harassment she says she's seen it all, but i guess she left the "i've done it all" part out

Her problem isnt lack of charisma, or even talent....it her and her agents inability to pick parts.

I think that was implied R173.

"GWTW: The Musical"

She should do very ripe dramas and comedies and camp events exclusively. In Emilio Estevez's BOBBY she was kind of miscast as William H. Macy's lovelorn, beautician wife.

And even here, her timing is slightly off, she just owns the camera with her sex appeal and charisma.

She is not a good actress. She is more fun as a personality who marries rich men who get attacked by dragons.

[italic] Now here's the truth, to face and deal with, if you want to survive! [/italic]

Sharon Stone is a smart woman who's been in the business for a long, long time. Along the way she learned to act (to a degree) and certainly how to play The Game. She will basically say or do anything that will get her the type of publicity she wants at any given moment. This is what most performers do. She said in one interview she would make a great agent, as she loves to negotiate deals. From what I've seen, I agree with her. She can be charmingly ruthless.

But a few half-truths in the OP's clip:

Stone says she came to Hollywood as a clueless girl from Pensylvania. Well, not exactly. She was so smart she graduated high school early, then she toured the world for a few years as a fashion model signed to a top agency. So she didn't exactly hit L.A. as a wide-eyed, small town girl, but as a successful model who'd lived in Europe, Manhattan, etc.

She also is fond of trotting out this claim that Hollywood never "saw her as sexy" and she had to work at being seen that way (!) Well, her first acting role was as an idealized fantasy blonde in a skimpy white satin gown in Woody Allen's [italic] Stardust Memories [/italic] (1980) and her big break was playing Ryan O'Neal's starlet mistress in [/italic] Irreconcilable Differences [/italic] (1984) in which she wowed him by taking off her top. Soooooooooooooo, it's [italic] rather [/italic] hard to imagine that directors did not see her as "sexy" right out of the gate.

I gasped out loud when she said, "I WAS alone!" That was such an dramatic and honest moment that it gave me chills. Bette and Joan would've been proud.

She got a good review for her video game? Good effort!

It's not a video game. Lol. It's an HBO show.

R176 what was that from?? Hilarious!

Woah! you'd just better watch it R179! Tagging an actor or model as anything less than always perfectly innocent, guileless or capable of astuteness or worldness of any kind is a just short step away from victim bashing in this climate.

r183....Irreconcilable Differences.......good movie....Ryan ONeal, Shelly Long, Drew Barrymore and Sharon Stone.....a little girl divorces her parents.

I think the untold story is here is that Ms. Stone stayed away from hard drugs while being an actress in Hollywood all these years.

Clearly, she was never a drug user -- or she wouldn't be lookin' like that at 59!

No one looks like that if they were a coke/heroin/estacy user, that all shows when one hits their 40's, or even earlier. And don't tell me it's all genes--fuck off!

Ms. Stone never took narcotics, that is obvious, and GOOD ON HER!

The Roman Spring of Ms Sharon Stone

I think she has been conservative with plastic surgery but her looks now are not purely the result of “good genes.” More like good plastic surgery

Whatever surgery she's had is excellent. I want the number of her surgeon. For when I finally hit the big 4-0.

I love this woman.

Gorgeous, real talent, social conscience and intelligence. Of course she’s a bit batshit but seems to gave done more good than ill.

I’d like to see her get a 5-6 year run on a soapy weekly Sharon Stone Programme.

I like her sweater poncho thing.

CZJ - You're only 32!, r189

She's a guest on Colbert tonight.

R185 Irreconcilable Differences used to be on cable all the time in the 80s and 90s. I had no idea Sharon Stone was in it till now and I've seen that movie 1,000 times.

Is she bi ?

Drew's character at the end is like, "Bitch, please."

JFC, just how smelly are that kid's feet?

Murphy is all style over substance. It's now clear OJ was as genius as it was thanks to the writing of Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. If anything, Murphy hurt the story by casting Cuba Gooding and John Travolta.

I saw her Magnum PI episode in which she plays twins. Her acting was a touch off, but she was just gorgeous. She had shower sex with Tom Selleck.

She looks even better in the BASIC INSTINCT screen test than she did in the finished movie.

That role was offered to Greta Sacchi first, then Michelle Pfeiffer, then just about every name actress in Hollywood before they all turned it down, and it then trickled down to the B level of the Sharon Stones of 1990. Stone was lucky she had just worked with the same director on the film right before (TOTAL RECALL)

R54, don't forget her very long lucrative Lancome contract either... Remember reading back in 2010 that it was quite a substantial amount of $$$: some record set for someone her age. I believe her statements that she has not had surgery: she still looks the same.

She's had surgery, but it's of the good and selective Susan Sarandon sort, and not of the bad and overdone Nicole Kidman variety.

She does look gorgeous in the screentest. Nobody can deny that. Why did they choose such a brassy blonde color for BI I wonder?

Her surgery is the kind people should have having. She's not trying to look 25 again. She just doesn't want to look tired or frail. Susan Sarandon is another good example. Jane Fonda isn't half bad either. All these women still look like themselves, but well preserved. Not stretched into looking like some sort of alien creature. Here's a tip - if you never had puffy cheeks and puffy lips in your 20's, don't get those goddamn injections in your 40's-80's. People will notice. Get the eyes and the neck done and you're good to go.

Pfeifer's mannered way of speaking would have gotten in the way if she had played Catherine Trammel. Actually, having just seen Pfeifer in Mother and Murder on the Orient Express, I'm not sure why Stone couldn't have played either role. She needs a new agent if she wants a true comeback. And wasn't Stone supposed to play the Wasp's mom in Ant Man... now Pfeifer is playing it.

^ I have always liked Pfeiffer, but I thought her performance in Murder on the Orient Express was the worst of her career.

Below Grease 2.

Sharon Stone and MP seem to inhabit different realms. I have a hard time imagining them in a film together, but I like the idea.

She seems to be getting very good notices for her performance.

I watched all of it the past two nights. It's good. She was good. It doesn't really hit you how tragic her character's death is until the final minute.

“People here talk like she was on par with Viv Leigh.”

Sharon Stone is much more beautiful than Vivian Leigh.

I have watched 4 episodes of Mosaic. It's getting really good. I think some of the dialogue is ad-libbed. It doesn't seem like the actors are reciting their lines? Frederick Weller is really hot as is Garret Hedlund. Both giving excellent performances. Sharon was very good in her two episodes. But one question...Paul Rubens as Stone's gay best friend...hmm.

Sharon's new movie with Ellen Burstyn and Famke Janssen. It's direct to VOD (with a token theatrical release), but at least it's released by Universal Pictures. I guess she'll have to wait a bit longer for that comeback project.

She a bit long in the tooth for a role like that. There is something about her, I don't think she is a great actress but I really like watching her. I guess that is what is called have "it"?

[R221] Yikes! Movies like this are totally bewildering to me in terms of why? Why was it made? If it were a fantastic sleeper comedy that got great word of mouth on the festival circuit it could conceivably be picked up by a major distributor. Or, more likely, a feature film for cable. But this? "Starring Sharon Stone" is not an asset at this point. Did anyone involved think this was a good film? Did anyone think its mediocrity would not be noticed through some collective delusion? I understand that a paycheck is a paycheck but how dispiriting. RICKI AND THE FLASH collides with MAMMA MIA! and herein lies the wreckage.

R213 the script for the movie was on the "Black List" (which is a famous list of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood) years ago. That probably helped it get made -- but independently and at a lower budget.

And it did get picked up by a major distributor: Universal Pictures. They just aren't giving it a wide theatrical release, which is an obvious choice given it's a low-budget romcom with no major stars. But given that it's a major distributor, there will be some promotion done for the film -- probably mostly talk show appearances for Stone.

[R214] Thanks for the info. I read Black List scripts every year and in most cases they are garbage, despite the hype. The 2017 bomb/abomination of a comedy ROUGH NIGHT was a Black List script.

does she plays Madonna in this new movie?

She will never have a comeback - no one is into her anymore
