Sharon Stone is a very well-known person who is sufficiently known for being the femme fatale of the entertainment business. Her portrayal in Basic Instinct, which was undoubtedly the professional high point, cast a shadow over her whole acting career. Though she began acting at an early age, her initial love was modeling with Stardust Memories marking her acting debut as a supporting role in the industry.
Many people came to the theatre to catch a peek at Sharon Stone due to her quirky performance, which caught mass attention. But despite such fame and recognition within the industry, she had very little say in her movies and was advertently paid no attention or importance to her side. Recently, the actress claimed that early in the days of Hollywood it was common for actors but she also claimed and supported some of them for not being like the rest.
Sharon Stone Claimed Robert De Niro Was a True Gentleman
In 1995, Sharon Stone was featured in the Martin Scorsese-helmed criminal thriller film Casino. Her reputation as one of the greatest female leads of that era was cemented by the film. She played a deceitful and egotistical persona throughout the movie. Stone discussed the level of respect she received from her male co-stars in that film, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, during a live telecast. It was a complete shock for the actress as to how well-treated she was while filming Casino.
In a recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, the actress shared her views on how tough it was for female actors in the industry as they had little to zero importance in front of the big-shot actors. She also expressed that she was completely fed up with the misogynistic nature of all her movies.
“They just will not listen to me and will not allow me to affect their performance with my performance. That’s not great acting. I get that you’re great and everybody thinks you’re wonderful. But listening, being present for those fractured moments, is really the human experience.”
Sharon Stone previously expressed herself several times about how she had to deal with many sexist actors throughout her life and was frequently typecast. In one of her interviews, Stone stated that she has collaborated with several well-known performers in the business and has also received advice from them on how to behave and not interfere with their parts.
Sharon Stone’s Career Boomed With Basic Instinct
Catherine Tramell, the seductive serial killer played by Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, altered her Hollywood career for the better. But it also came with a lot of troubles as she was not accustomed to the sudden fame and recognition both inside and outside the industry. In the space of a second, she transformed from being a typical person to being surrounded by admirers. Though many may see it as a positive thing, even if it was a great thing for her, she had a lot of trouble coping with it.
Currently, the actress is living a very wealthy and lavish life with her cabinets filled with countless awards and accolades. Some of her awards are the Primetime Emmy Awards, Satellite Awards, Golden Globes, MTV Movie + TV Awards, and many others.
