Biography "Sharon Stone"


 

NAME: Sharon Stone
BORN: 10/03/1958
BIRTH PLACE: Meadville, USA.


Sharon Stone biographyThe daughter of working-class parents in a North Pennsylvania town, American actress Sharon Stone was both the recipient of a scholarship to Penn State’s Edinboro University and a winner of local beauty pageants.

Studying fine arts and creative writing, Stone began a successful modelling career in the late 1970s, becoming the face of Diet Coke, Revlon and Clairol.

Starting with a small role in Woody Allen’s ‘Stardust Memories’ in 1980, Stone took some time to escape "blonde-bimbo" typecasting.

Her break arrived in 1990, when she starred opposite Arnold Swarzenegger in ‘Total Recall’. However, it was her role in ‘Basic Instinct’, two years later, that truly made her a star.

In the 1992 film, Stone played a bisexual nymphet and alleged serial killer, and caused outrage with her infamous ‘no-knickers’ police interrogation scene.

However, she soon found herself typecast, with films such as ‘Slivers’ and ‘The Specialist’ mining her erotic reputation, and not much else.

It was not until 1995, and Stone’s role in Martin Scorsese’s ‘Casino’, that she began to be recognised for her acting skills alone. She won an Oscar-nomination, as well as a Golden Globe, for the role.

Subsequent outings including the futuristic western ‘The Quick and the Dead’, the remake ‘Diabolique’ and ‘Last Dance’, but all were relative box-office flops.

Whilst gaining an enviable reputation for off-screen glamour and opinionated wit, her screen career was not in great shape. Voicing the animated feature ‘Antz’ was a good move, but films such as ‘The Mighty’ and ‘Sphere’, while warmly received, were further popular failures.

In 1999, she appeared in a remake of ‘Gloria’, which received the worst reviews of her career, from which she has still to bounce back, despite stronger showings in ‘The Muse’, and, opposite Jeff Bridges, in ‘Simpatico’. ~

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.
