Biography
Sharon Stone was born in 1958 in Meadville Pensylvannia
as a second child of her parents. Her father was a colourman and her mother
worked as an accountant. Sharon studied creative writing and fine arts
at Edinboro State University of Pennsylvania. When she was seventeen she
won title "Miss of Pensylvanny". Two years later she began succesfuly
career as a model in New York. She worked for Eileen Ford's model agency.
She posed also for magazines like Vogue and Elle and we can find her naked
in Playboy too.
Sharon's first role was in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories when she was
22 years old. But then things slowed down. Sharon played in movies like
Action Jackson, Cold Steel and Police Academy 4 and also in some TV serials
like Bay City Blues. In 1984 Sharon got married for the first time with
Michael Greenburg. For the change in her carrer Sharon had to wait 10
long years. And then came Total Recall, where Sharon played the best of
her action role as a Lori, the Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife.
But real upturn came in 1992 with a great movie
Basic Instinct. Her role of sexually voracious crime writer made from
her one of the biggest star in Hollywood and established her as a sexual
symbol. In Basic Instinct Sharon revealed to the world one more thing:
there was nothing between her and her tight dress. In a more conventionally
sympathetic role, Stone followed up with another sizzling sex melodrama,
Sliver (1993), which did middling business stateside but proved a solid
success overseas. On the set of this movie (Sliver) Sharon met a producer
Bill McDonald. They were engaged to be married for some time.
She again flexed her international box-office clout
paired with Sylvester Stallone in the explosive actioner The Specialist
(1994) but fared much less well commercially with her next project, The
Quick and the Dead (1995), which marked her producing debut. Stone looked
terrific in Western duds playing something of a distaff version of a Clint
Eastwood-like gunfighter. Her directorial choice, Sam Raimi, helmed the
smartly derivative tale with style to spare but the critical reception
was uneven and the domestic take pathetic. In 1995 she got part in Scorsese's
Casino. For this role she was awarded by Golden Globe and was nominated
for Oscar. Her next character part was in Last Dance, where Sharon played
a woman in prison waiting for the execution. In Sphere she played beside
Dustin Hoffman. Her newest movies are Gloria, The Mighty and The Muse.
Sphere was released on Valentine's weekend, coincided
with Sharon's marriage to San Francisco newspaper editor Phil Bronstein.
They are together still happy and in Spring 2000 they adopted a child.
Their son is called Roan Joseph Bronstein and was born to Texas teenagers
on May 22 2000. And please remember, Sharon isn't only blonde beauty,
she is also very clever with IQ 154. And what can we wish to Sharon in
her future life? Just only the greatest movies and happy marriage.
