Sharon Stone (born March 10, 1958) actress, film producer and former fashion model who first achieved  international recognition for her performance in the erotic thriller Basic Instinct, a story concerning a psycho bi-sexual Bay Area woman. On Valentine's day February 14, 1998, she married Phil Bronstein, executive editor of the San Francisco Examiner and later San Francisco Chronicle. Stone and Bronstein were divorced in January 2004. They have an adopted son named Roan Joseph Bronstein, born on May 22, 2000. The couple's most well known shared story concerns a birthday gift visit to a Komodo dragon's cage at the Los Angeles Zoo which got pretty far trying to eat her husband's toes. Stone attempted a return to the mainstream with an "older woman" role in the film Catwoman(2004) however, the film was a critical and commercial flop. Her switch from Scientology to Tibetan Buddhism has been awkward
After years of litigation, Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction was released on March 31, 2006. A reason for a long delay in releasing the film was reportedly Stone's dispute with the filmmakers over the nudity in the movie; she wanted more, while they wanted less. A group sex scene was cut in order to achieve an R rating from the MPAA for the U.S. release; the controversial scene remained in the U.K. version of the London-based film. Stone told an interviewer, "We are in a time of odd repression and if a popcorn movie allows us to create a platform for discussion, wouldn't that be great?" In January 2008, Stone was quoted as saying, "Everybody is bisexual to an extent. Now men act like women and it's difficult to have a relationship because I like men in that old-fashioned way. I like masculinity and, in truth, only women do that now".[34] | | Playing a killer San Francisco bi-sexual |  | | Stone's character was strong and powerful, and had 'flashed' on her own terms, namely as a form of assertion rather than submission. | The role that made her a star was that of Catherine Tramell, a brilliant, bisexual San Francisco Bay Area based serial killer, in Basic Instinct (1992). Stone had to wait and actually turned down offers for the mere prospect to play Tramell (the part was offered to 13 other actresses before being offered to Stone). Several better known actresses of the time such as Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Melanie Griffith, Kelly Lynch and Julia Roberts turned down the part mostly because of the nudity required. In the movie’s most notorious scene, Tramell is being questioned by the police and she crosses and uncrosses her legs, revealing the fact she was not wearing any underwear. According to Stone, upon seeing her own vulva in the leg-crossing scene during a screening of the film, she went into the projection booth and slapped director Paul Verhoeven. Stone claimed that although she agreed to film the flashing scene with no panties, and although she and Verhoeven had discussed the scene from the beginning of production, she was unaware just how explicit the infamous shot would be. Verhoeven and the infamous screen writer Josef Eszterhas dispute this. | wikipedia.org/Sharon_Stone |
