Some dirt from Sharon Stone's upcoming memoir:

I bet it was whichever Baldwin was in 'Sliver.'

I can't imagine who she could be talking to. The only old time movie star she worked with before she hit it big in Basic Instinct was Robert Mitchum in The Winds of War II and he played her father or father-in-law.

A Baldwin brother made love to Ava Gardner onscreen back in his day, R1?

R3 The co-star and producer talking about fucking Ava Gardner are two different people.

Sharon is not very good so it’s a bit rich that she thinks she is great.

Some world class idiots on this thread. The producer slept with Ava Gardner. She's probably talking about Billy Baldwin. How embarrassing for you, r3.

The producer made love to Ava Gardner onscreen?

Sorry, dickhead R3, it seems she said the producer slept with Ava Gardner onscreen. Actors can be producers too, didn't ya know?

There was someone she didn’t fuck in Hollywood? She had more stretched out rubber in her than the reject section of a Goodyear Tire factory.

The producer on Sliver was Robert Evans, who dated Ava Gardner. Geez!

She is a compulsive liar. I don’t believe any of her stories.

Wow. Robert Evans was NEVER attractive, R10!

William Baldwin right?

Sharon Stone made love to Ava Gardner? Holy shit! The things you learn.

She's decided not to use actual names when discussing shit that happened 30 years ago. Would've bought the book if she had named some names. I dont like the guessing game stuff. Some people treated her horribly or were a mess--30 years ago. She even mentions one director who was too coked out to work but eventually sobered up and had a great career. not sure why she's being so coy on the names.

Billy Baldwin told Sharon Stone to make love to Ava Gardner on Robert Evans' television. Learn to read!

How many times has she almost died? And it’s always in spectacularly dramatic fashion. Nothing is by halves for Stone. She seems to get joy from discussing it all in great and graphic detail - like, my neck was hanging on by a thread after I was sliced by a clothing line. It cut me to ribbons and was within a mms of my jugular vein being ruptured. I was struck by lightening in my own kitchen...

She’s almost giving liz “I read my own obituaries” Taylor a run for her money.

Actresses! It’s times like this I remember that they would just be those weird drama queens at high school that people rolled their eyes at.

Sharon Stone has and always will be an attention seeking (fill in blank yourself).

She also claims that her career was ruined by her haemorrhage, when most people didn’t even know she’d had this until she began endlessly talking about it. Liz Taylor bounced back after her brain tumour... and that was all well publicised.

I liked stone but she just seems to talk so much bullshit and really just seems like a Tedx Speaker at this point (see her Oprah master class clip) .

I find it hard to believe she had such a severe brain episode and has recovered so fully after having to teach herself how to “walk” , “talk” and even “hear” again with no trace of said illness. But hey, it makes a great underdog story and will get her on Oprah.

Let’s not forget her claiming she had a genius level iq. Everything is always extreme. She’s had the best and worst of everything. To quote someone from the Ali machete thread years ago- “she wants our envy and our pity”

Ali Macgraw*

Sliver was a difficult shoot and not a happy experience for Stone. She barely spoke to Baldwin, and I’d Be angry too if he couldn’t even memorize his lines

I'm actually quite shocked by all of this!

She's an actress! They love drama, the love to spice up a story!

I'd be angry too if I had to do a movie with that idiot Baldwin brother who couldn't act his way out of a gym bag.

Her memoir is called "Romancing the Stone"

Did she fuck Meloni during her SVU run?

Totally agree with everything r11 and r19 said but I kind of love her anyway. Shes a notorious liar but at the same time she has a self-awareness and sense of humor about herself that most actresses don’t have. It’s weird.

Classic histrionic personality disorder r17/ r18/ r19. We actually had a thread on "Celebs with Personality Disorders" here years ago, and discussed this in relation to Stone.

Absolutely textbook case.

Sharon Stone is crazy but I love her and her near death experience! Never forget she made Gap great at the Oscars ffs. That's a star bb!

R19 - just the term "Oprah's Master Class" is laughable.

R28 she’s wearing it on her sleeve. But sometimes the way she talks about her illnesses, she really does come across bizarrely. Also remember that creepy laugh when she was asked if she’d ever experienced sexual harassment. Something is just off with her.

she looks great for her age and she never got fat like many do when they are older. must be good genes.

I worked for Gap at the time, and we sold racks and racks and racks of those black mock turtleneck tees for *years* after that Oscars.

People kept buying them, so corporate kept making them.

I really don’t think there’s much separating her from Janice Dickinson other than well exercised self restraint and a bit more self awareness. But both seem like real brassy types.

Is Eva Garten Ina's sister? She's not even famous. Who cares who fucked her? I don't get the drama here.

just the term "Oprah's Master Class" is laughable.

and yet she's worth 3 billion so she must have done something right

Larry King is back from the dead making comments on this thread....get it right...Ina Garten fucked Ava Gardner on the casting couch while Sharon Stone watched and had an aneurysm

So what old actor had a love scene with Ava Gardner that, unbeknownst to audiences was the real deal, who subsequently went on to be a producer of a Sharon Stone movie? Can't be many.

It’s Robert evans r38 he was in the sun also rises playing the young matador

I don’t know why she didn’t just name him, as soon as she mentioned Ava Gardner and this brag it was pretty obvious. It’s another of her tactics for dramatic effect... she’s got some intelligence and self awareness for sure, she could have easily become another Sean young it seems

....in the morn

fan here of Ali Machete.

Unnamed Producer is such horseshit. If it was true, tell the truth. And sorry boys, Stone made more than one movie other than "Sliver".

Love her!

perhaps she is saving names for the book

She’s fun

R45 I doubt it. A memoir that did that would be great. But they rarely do that. She’d have to have slid down to Barbara Payton level and have nothing to lose first.

Ava’s gardener moved Sharon’s stone from a Bob Evans restaurant so that Billy Baldwin could learn to read.

[quote] She seems to get joy from discussing it all in great and graphic detail - like, my neck was hanging on by a thread after I was sliced by a clothing line. It cut me to ribbons and was within a mms of my jugular vein being ruptured. I was struck by lightening in my own kitchen...

In fairness, her husband's toes were bitten off by a Komodo dragon after entering their cage at a zoo.

What a PR-friendly thing to write; it comes across as if she didn't have lots of sex with older men when she was young, and also middle-aged, she was traveling the dictator and oligarch circuit till a few years ago. And he just asked her to have sex with a good-looking young male Hollywood star, boohoo; don't get that so many female stars back in the days allegedly had sex with most their male co-stars, when so many were gay or ephebephiles or what not, but okay.

I read a story here on dl when it wasn't yet as PR-controlled, that she was working as a regular prostitute in a bar before she became famous.

If you don't believe that Robert Evans told Sharon Stone to fuck her co-star and then bragged about fucking Ava Gardner, r11, then you don't know anything about Robert Evans.

She could have fucked 10,000 Frenchmen, r50, it still doesn't mean she isn't allowed to choose who to fuck, nor does it mean that it's appropriate for her boss to tell her to fuck a co-worker.

I believe her story I just don’t believe it’s quite so sensational.

They really tried to give her a “Hitchcock blonde” look in Basic Instinct but a large part of that is exuding mystery, aloofness and elegance, and Stone just seems smarmy.

Stop the victim shaming!

“ I find it hard to believe she had such a severe brain episode and has recovered so fully after having to teach herself how to “walk” , “talk” and even “hear” again with no trace of said illness. But hey, it makes a great underdog story and will get her on Oprah.”

R19 it’s called the medical advancements in treating strokes. One of my preceptors was working at UCSF and actually took care of Stone there. She was in the VIP room, even though technically there’s no such thing at UCSF but in reality they do for rich donors and the like. She did have a serious stroke the aftermath of it still there 5 years later when she starred in Basic Instinct 2. She had some eye asymmetry that was noticeable in that movie that’s typical of people who have recovered from stroke.

I like her. Look forward to the book.

R56 thanks for clearing that up, I’ve known many people who have suffered minor strokes who have not been so lucky to have recovered so well.

R54 I think they made her look beautiful and she played the role well it’s just it’s a sleazy film. It’s probably the reason she wasn’t nominated.

She is crazy, but I love her too.

I confess Sliver is one of my guilty pleasures, have seen it countless times, including because of William Baldwin (or is ass). I actually think their animosity works for the (silly) script, where she is attracted to him but also suspicious.

Nobody tried to fuck me!

[quote]I worked for Gap at the time, and we sold racks and racks and racks of those black mock turtleneck tees for *years* after that Oscars.

And Sharon's mock was from Holiday 1995, when the top did not sell well, so it was marked down super low. Sharon really made that item come back!

R33, did you save any of the paper playlists from when you worked at Gap?

LOL, R61.

I love Stone, and have since Basic Instinct came out. I’ll be picking it up on 4K/UHD when it’s released later this year, even though I haven’t seen it in at least 20 years and probably won’t like it as much as I did when I was 14 or whatever. I already own her absurd pre-Basic Instinct thriller Scissors on Blu ray!

When COVID-19 started, I began following her on Instagram. She was deadly serious about it and offered all kinds of tips for safeguarding yourself and others, etc. Then her sister came down with a serious case of it and Sharon was even more dramatic (she’s recovered now). My boyfriend kept asking me why I was following Sharon Stone for the latest COVID info, and I said I had to find someone new to follow once Debi Mazar recovered from her infection and was no longer interesting to me.

I love Stone! I’ll always defend her.

Sharon also made headlines at the Oscars in 1998 when she wore her husband's white Oxford Woven from Gap.

Yeah, that's why she was labeled "difficult".

[quote]If you don't believe that Robert Evans told Sharon Stone to fuck her co-star and then bragged about fucking Ava Gardner, [R11], then you don't know anything about Robert Evans.

Hell, he probably showed her the home movies.

I'm sure she has lots of stories.

If you're not going to name names, fuck off, Sharon. Nobody gives a damn.

R52, I totally agree

Are we sure Bob Evans didn't tell Sharon Stone to fuck Tom Berenger, Martin Landau, or CCH Pounder on the set of 'Sliver'? Everyone knows Landau and Pounder throw a mean fuck!

Re: Sharon Stone being dramatic, I always think about her ex getting bitten by the komodo dragon when they were getting a private tour at the LA zoo. He nearly died and almost had to have his foot amputated. All because they'd begged to be let in the cage with the dragon...and her ex was barefoot when he got bitten!

That’s hilarious about the Komodo. I never heard that. Thank you, R70!

Tom Beren-JAR was even hotter than Baldwin. Way, way hotter.

I'm sure she fucked many of her co-stars, did she fuck michael douglas?

I know she fucked the writer of basic instinct.

Haven't people for years speculated that in between jobs in Hollywood, she was a working girl? Not that I have a problem with it. I wish she would go into that stuff. What really happens when you are a struggling actor.

I'm looking forward to a good trashy read while still dealing with this pandemic crap

The producer of Sliver was Robert Evans who once acted opposite Ava Gardner The untalented actor in question is William Baldwin

She seems nuts but I kinda like that in my movie stars.

I remember watching Sliver as a kid and that scene where Stephen Baldwin came up behind her naked, bared assed, made me have to run upstairs and spend some "alone time"..

She doesn’t have to name names in this case. People aren’t stupid. They put producer+ fucked Ava Gardner together and it’s obviously Robert Evans. No talent actor being Baldwin. I think it’s smart she wrote it this way. It makes people guess and talk about her book.

I love to hear her comments on "The Quick and the Dead".

Also starring Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe (may be his first American movie) and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Approaching a komodo dragon barefoot makes you a Darwin award winner. He's lucky he left with his stomach and intestines intact.

I hope t’s as good if not better than Demi and Mariah’s tell alls

Maybe she’ll spill something about la Dunaway, weren’t they besties for a while

R51, Robert Evans' marriage to Catherine Oxenberg was annulled after nine days.

I think that if anyplace is where the standard of appropriate behavior is upheld it is Hollywood.

William Baldwin was not hired for his acting ability.

[quote] The Komodo dragon then attacked Bronstein’s foot, crushing his big toe in its jaws, while groups of children pressed their horrified faces against the glass. The editor managed to pry open the reptile’s mouth and make his way out of the cage, where Stone made a tourniquet out of his sock and waited for medical assistance.

R12, you are BLIND.

DL fave Julia Phillips recalled encountering Bob Evans as he sashayed his bedazzled self down the hallway at some movie studio during her reign as a top Hollywood producer. As she and a galpal passed by Evans, Julia allegedly loudly whispered: "Who is the hairdresser?"

You gotta love Sharon, she's the closest thing Hollywood has to Joan Crawford.

The only thing good about Sliver is the soundtrack.

So did she fuck billy baldwin?

So, just to keep this straight, Sharon Stone had an affair with Ava Gardner and Lana Turner, and the producer did, too, and the production team then gang banged the co-star actor for being so lousy and insulting Ava Gardner, which got Frank all upset and the threatened to do a "Kllgallen" on him?

Have I got it right?

No no no, R93 - do try to keep up!!

Producer Ron Silver asked Sharon Stone to fuck Billy Barty on the set of Slither. Silver also fucked Eva Gabor way back when they co-starred in the movie M

Frank Sinatra fucked Billy Baldwin while Sharon and Ava watched? Hot.

Multiple shots of Billy's hot ass beg to differ R91

R96, Have you seen him lately? All of the Baldwin brothers are not aging well.

Robert Evans was obsessed with making Sliver the next hot property. At one point, Roman Polanski was to direct in Paris with Demi Moore, Bruce Willis and River Phoenix as Zeke. Once basic instinct hit, they hired Stone along with Kurt Russell and Johnny Depp who quickly departed when the script failed to get better. Stone was stuck and they brought in her B list supporting cast. Sharon deserved better in this case.

Sliver was fun trash

Sharon is mensa. Smart lady if not a little nuts. Gorgeous, to boot. Love her!

Was it ever proven that she was actually in MENSA?

From what I gather, Sharon’s sleeping with Ava Gardner caused Sharon’s aneurysm, her sister’s COVID, & her husband’s toe loss, which Robert Evan’s adapted into the movie-musical Footless.

Evans fucking hated her forever after she spread the lie that he had kept a female friend of hers hostage for weeks in a dog collar -- and the friend gained 100 pounds later in trauma. Evans bitchslapped her in his cartoon as well.

LOL, R102!

I wonder if she fucked Gil Gerard. In 1982 or so--right before he began ballooning--he made a TV movie with that other thespian, Victoria Principal. He played a womanizer, Principal a prim and uptight version of Victoria She-Killed-Andy-Gibb Principal. Stone had a small part--four or five scenes-with Gerard who, at the time, was a big tv star, although at the tail end of his short-lived fame. I think two of the scenes were with Gerard, in bed.

I wonder if he ever fucked Ava Gardner. Or Olivia deHavilland, who he co-starred with in Airport 77. Or maybe he did BOTH Gardner and deHavilland while Sharon had her big toe eaten by a kimodo dragon while Billy Baldwin watched, wearing a kimono.

I love Sharon. Yeah, she's a bit crazy but she seems like a nice person and does have a sense of humour about herself.

Also, let's not forget all the money she raised for AIDS research and fundraisers over the years.

Also, I appreciated her COVID-related social media posts because she stressed how horrible it could be if a loved one caught it and stressed the importance of wearing a mask. She wasn't like Kirk Cameron, encouraging people to meet up in large groups. She used her social media for something important, instead of other celebrities who just took selfies of themselves or complained about their privilege during the pandemic. Was she overdramatic sometimes? Sure. But she sure as hell got her point across.

She was great in Casino, of course, and the scene where her character is fucking Joe Pesci's character behind hubby Robert De Niro's back was intense and super realistic.

I like Stone. To me, she's a men's ( straight and gay) actress. Never a women's favorite like Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, etc. She has this fierce, sexy, bitchy vibes about her that just makes her appealing for the gays and straights.

A dying breed imo.

That's been well-established, r76. Do you comment without reading the thread or do you just have me blocked?

By the way, I'm STILL waiting for r3 to apologize to r1 for that "learn to read" muff-up. Manners!

[Quote] Or maybe he did BOTH Gardner and deHavilland while Sharon had her big toe eaten by a kimodo dragon while Billy Baldwin watched, wearing a kimono.

Billy could probably do with a few kaftans 🤣

She was funny in The Muse. Good riff on Hollywood’s misguided self-help/guru-dependent inclinations.

I think she gives herself too much credit. She was never a true movie star. She was in one movie that got attention because of the sexuality and her pussy flashing. Nobody ever really went to a Sharon Stone movie. She was a B actress at best.

Actually, she’s much more a star than an actress, r112, including by your definition. She is underrated sometimes, but her name is much bigger than the sum of her parts. Love her.

Didn't she do no panties and then act offended? We don't know her.

LMAO! You bitches are delivering. Reminds me of DL back in the day.

What r113 wrote and I write this as having watched, it its entirety, exactly one movie starring Sharon Stone:

Total Recall

Never saw her before but immediately, she held my attention. The deal was sealed in that fight scene with Schwarzenegger's character- total, contemporary movie Movie Stah, to the max.

R59 Sharon Stone's makeup and hair in Basic Instinct were the best she has ever looked. Of course, she criticized the makeup artist in an interview that he gave in recent years. She's horrid.

There was a pottery store on Robertson that she used to go pick out a bunch of things and expect them to be comped.

typo: an interview that she gave ^^^

If you want to guarantee that your movie is a flop, hire Sharon Stone.

Why is this woman a star? The only hit she ever had was thirty years ago

SPOILER ALERT ---

Sharon Stone was great in Basic Instinct and Casino. But, in Basic Instinct you knew that she was the killer from the time you saw the nude scene that showed breast implants that looked liked two baseballs.

She keeps repeating that tall tale about not knowing that her genitals would be shown on screen. I laughed when I saw it because it looked like she was wearing a synthetic blonde merkin.

Just to be clear here: the sex scenes in Sliver are among the hottest in movies of that time - but especially in the unrated edition. The shots of Billy Baldwin furiously screwing her from behind were constant sources of jack-off material for me and prob many other gaylings of the time. He was unbelievably, smokingly hot back then. A perfect body and perfect ass.

I tried to find an online source for this, but all I came up with was the below link which is interesting in and of itself. In the unauthorized bio on Steve Wynn called 'Running Scared', multiple sources claim Steve Wynn vehemently pursued Sharon Stone while she was filming 'Casino' in Las Vegas. From sending dozens of roses to her villa at the Mirage (which he owned), to knocking on the door of her villa and demanding she have dinner with him. It got so uncomfortable for Stone that she moved out of the Mirage villa to an undisclosed location for the rest of the 'Casino' shoot. Ironically, 'Running Scared' was published in 1995, 23 years before Steve Wynn was ousted from his own company for repeatedly sexually harassing employees over a span of 30 years. It's also a known fact here in Vegas that both newspapers (the Las Vegas Sun and the Las Vegas Review-Journal) halted investigations of Wynn for decades, though they'd been given enough tips to run with the story. Another example of money and power silencing the press.

I'll be interested to see if Stone mentions the Wynn stuff in her book. The link below is interesting because--as someone mentioned above--her lawyer Marty Singer also represented Priscilla Presley and Eddie Murphy in libel suits. Perhaps a reason Stone is being coy with naming Robert Evans and Billy Baldwin in the book. Besides which, it's drumming up speculation and interest in the book, which is a win-win for sales.

I think she did Sliver as a favor for Robert Evans...which begs the questions in return for what?

It was an awful movie and Stone played against type everyone was expecting her to vixen it up and she played Carly very meekly. Word was Baldwin and Stone hated each other. Tom Berenger was way hotter than creepy Baldwin.

I still love her though. She's from bumfuck Pennsylvania and look at her. She was a one of the most beautiful women of her age. She was buds with Faye Dunaway for a while ...but just not as crazy..almost.

R116 that must be when she was near-broke. She admitted to having to start all over financially, including having to remortgage her house, after taking 2 years hiatus recovering from her stroke. Her acting offers dried up probably due to combination of her age and health history.

Erm, hey - all you bitches. I would just remind you of all the work Sharon Stone did at the height of her stardom for AMFAR, covering for and eventually taking over for Elizabeth Taylor.

YOU’RE WELCOME.

Sharon lives in a house that used to be owned by Montgomery Clift. Think of all the hot asses that used to pass through that house. She lives there with all 3 of her adopted sons, including Roan whom she’d adopted with Bronstein and subsequently lost custody of after the divorce. It’s interesting that she chose to adopt boys, kind of fit into the narrative that she feels more connection to men rather than women.

Sharon is a perfect example.of how the right hairstyle can make your career. She would never have been such a huge star if she kept the generic long blonde hair she sported in Irreconcilable Differences.

Sharon Stone and Jennifer Aniston are two actresses with middling talent whose publicists work overtime to keep in the headlines

Many of the songs from the excellent 'Sliver' soundtrack are on several 1993 Gap In-Store Playlists!

BTW, there's a building in the Turtle Creek/Oak Lawn area of Dallas that looks almost exactly like the 'Sliver' building.

R128, GapPlaylistsGuy, did Ms. Stone get GAP stock or discounts for wearing GAP at the awards shows?

R126 To a point. However, Sharon was one of the rare, extremely beautiful women who could pull off very short haircut. Angelina Jolie early in her career sported short hairstyles and also looked fantastic. But give Sharon’s or Angelina’s haircut on 90% of Hollywood leading ladies 1990s to present, and they won’t look as great. You have to have an extremely beautiful face to pull it off.

Sharon Stone looked even better with short hair than Angelina Jolie, her oval face and more refined features went so well with short styles. Jolie looked great either way but she turned into old Hollywood goddess, ridiculously beautiful when she stuck with long hair.

R123 Nope. This was way before her aneurysm.

R129, not that we ever heard about in the stores.

I think the publicity was mutually beneficial for both Gap and La Stone.

What are you going to do, arrest me for smoking?

I'll be analyzing your claim, R90.

I was surprised how awful she was in Ratched. It almost seemed like she was having a hard time physically and mentally doing that role. I think that stroke really did a number on her.

R130 Halle Berry is another one whose short hair cut made her career and highlighted her beauty. As you say few women look better with short hair. Most women look the same or worse with super short hair. And bonus!! Halle is even more crazy than Sharon!

Gorgeous woman and still is. If she's had any work done, it's been incredibly tasteful. My guess is that it's mostly due to good genes. She was always beautiful, but I can see where she'd be hard to cast early on. Someone that beautiful isn't usually cast as the ingenue or the likable gal pals. She's a little intimidating to many people. To be that beautiful and have that much intelligence is a rare combo.

As an actress, she has to be well cast or well directed. I don't think she's the kind of actress who can be left to their own devices and churn out a brilliant performance. She's been truly iconic in two films - Basic Instinct and Casino - and that's not too bad when you think of how many actors spend their entire lives putting out quality work but never get that one iconic performance. I can't imagine anyone else in either of those roles.

"Schindler's B-List".

She was amazing in Casino, and so beautiful. I also loved de Niro's wardrobe in that film. More men should dress a little dandy. Because it pleases me!

Everyone says how great she was in Casino. I didn’t see it. Ok at best. Unsurprisingly she lost the Oscar to Sarandon. Scorsese just didn’t pull out of her what we got in Basic Instinct, which was a balls to the wall, fierce performance. She deserved the Oscar nom for that. I would’ve loved to see her get Pfeiffers Love Field slot.

Sharon is a better comedic actress than dramatic one. When she acts in dramas, she always ends up recreating the Catherine Tramell persona. Just look at her SVU performance for proof.

That's not true...she was very good in Mosaic and vulnerable.

I thought Sharon won for Casino.

Here we go.

^oops. Wrong thread.

[quote]I thought Sharon won for Casino.

Sharon won the Golden Globe for Casino. She lost the Oscar to Susan Sarandon.

I hated Cat Woman(and Halley Berry)but, Sharon's character could have been a great comic book supervillain, a beautiful woman who's actually made of living concrete.

I have worked with her. She is a nightmare. And not like "you would not say that about a man" type of comparison. She thinks she is Meryl Streep. She lies, just even on the smallest things. She has this affectation in her speech that just annoys the fuck out of you. The "Gap" thing was not a shirt, it was a t-shirt an it was not a gap t-shirt after all but an expensive designer one.

R148 spill more tea.

R148 is lying about Sharon’s Gap Stretch Mock Turtleneck.

She's a self-proclaimed member of MENSA.

Obviously none of you have seen her star turn as Blake Chandler in 1984’s Irreconcilable Differences

How low must you be? I mean, truly? How LOW must you be to claim I am LYING about my Gap t-shirt! I have never LIED in the morn!

Should be a thread on Robert Evans. What a piece of work he is. I'm reading his wiki page and oh boy.

[quote]Principal a prim and uptight version of Victoria She-Killed-Andy-Gibb Principal.

Victoria Principal killed Andy Gibb?

Andy Gibb committed suicide after a breakup with Victoria Principal.

r19, you would be surprised.

r9 Who do we reckon or who is rumoured to have slept with Sharon Stone in Hollywood and showbiz?

Does she talk much about her "good friend" the Dalai Lama?

Wow reading that really makes me like her.

r148 - I did some charity work she was involved in. When you do charity you expect there is not a huge budget. She demanded to be limoed to the event when others who were bigger stars, were fine paying for their own car. She demanded a special meal at the event, which was your basic fancy chicken or beef with a vegetarian option. This was at the time she was with Phil Bronstein. She talked about how big his dick was the whole night..at a fucking charity event.

There are other stories. She did an impromptu fundraiser at a UNICEF event for mosquito nets and got 1 million, but only 250K was actually collected which left UNICEF on the hook for 750K. On the red carpet at Cannes she was asked about the earthquake in China, which at the time was one of the most deadly. SHe called it Karma for how they treat Tibetians.

R161 if you’re getting a big celebrity to attend your charity event of course you have to get them a car. Nobodies get cars.

r50 Dictator and oligarch circuit??? Which of those has she met?

Kirstie Alley hysterically debunked Sharon's panty-less Basic Instinct story/claims during a David Letterman appearance in 1993. Perhaps someone can link it from youtube. Titled: "Kirstie Alley wants to help Sharon Stone". The quality is horrible but it's worth it!

starts around 4 minutes in

Stone was real hot for the much younger Dweezil Zappa and wanted him for her long term partner. They had an affair for a short time in 1996 and then he moved on to other women. He apparently is well equipped and made her famous vagina very happy.

r162 sometimes if you can arrange a service to donate but not always. I have done some pretty big events and when stars get diva attitude it can turn sour quick. My boss paid for her car service because he wanted her there. I told him "Meryl is paying for her own," and he lauhged and said "Meryl is not a cunt."

Why would anyone believe Kirstie Alley? She's a Trumpster who claims she was so in love with John Travolta

Your loss bitch.

R81 The best part of the story was after the Komodo Dragon bit Bronstein's foot, it then bit Bronstein on the ass as he was trying to get out of the cage.

R170 I can't be bothered to read an article I read 15 yrs ago...but I hope what you say is true!😂

[quote]R39 It’s Robert evans. he was in the sun also rises playing the young matador

Yes.

[quote]R54 They really tried to give her a “Hitchcock blonde” look in Basic Instinct

I think they did this with her more so in INTERSECTION (1994)

Seems it took her a long time to realize her self worth.

that film journalist Dave Poland tweeted it was Billy Baldwin. Someone asked how he knew. He said that from the time in her career she describes it as being it could only have been Baldwin or Stallone. He knew the producers of each of those films and said the Sliver producer was much more the type who would ask such a thing.

R174 really? I don’t think she could ever be accused of having a “low self-esteem.” Like ever.

[quote]R83 Maybe she’ll spill something about la Dunaway, weren’t they besties for a while?

Yes, they were. I don’t know how that happened. It was around the time Basic Instinct opened... though Dunaway at one point said they first met when Stone was still a model in New York.

r175 But is the implication that Robert Evans was the sleaze culprit here or is it being implied or suggested that Billy Baldwin also is a sleaze and would have been up for sleeping with/ shagging Sharon Stone off set in order to built up chemistry and even knew or encouraged Robert Evans to put that idea to Sharon?

Dunaway talks about Stone in her book. She says she encouraged Stone to fight for above the title billing like she did with Bonnie and Clyde. She said Warren gave it to her (though I hear a paycut was also involved.) But Michael Douglas wouldn't extend the same generosity for Stone.

Faye says held Stone up after the film ended and told her she was now a star. Sharon was near fainting I guess from the thrill of it.

[quote] shagging

R178, Shagging? Oh, and stop trying to push the Robert Evans thing.

Here's what Poland tweeted: I guess a Sharon Stone won’t be getting any Christmas cards from Billy Baldwin anymore.

(then someone asks if he's sure that's who she meant) and he replies:

Based on the producer she seems to be hinting at, yes.

Before basic instinct, she wasn’t a leading woman. The story doesn’t fit most of her jobs after that and before she became a supporting star. The other option is Stallone, but the Whoppers don’t quite fit Jerry Weintraub.

Everything about Sliver was terrible. Billy Baldwin was a shit cherry on a shit cake.

so did she fuck billy or not?!

r180 I am not trying to push anything but merely asked a question.You dont know what shagging means or you dont like the word?

r181 Thank you so does that leans towards the theory Sharon was implying sleazy intentions on part of Billy or because she dissed his acting? I cant decide!

r182 He looks very sexy in it! Hottest of the Baldwin brothers!

I think it means that she dissed his acting. It sounds like the producer was the sleazy one not Baldwin.

She was like the high school slut to Meg and Julia's frau cheerleader types in movies. In my experience those wholesome types were often sluttier than girls that didn't deny having sex.

r185 sounds plausible .I guess we have to wait for the book to get more details .

I found his scenes I have seen from that film convincing in terms of acting. His sexy psycho stud scene were he is saying to her its ok its ok im here as he imitates oral sex sucking her finger is so hot and believable.

Billy was hot as fuck at one time. And I agree with the poster upthread the hottest Baldwin for a minute. I used to beat off to him fucking the girl in the Flatliners tape. With Hope Davis as the ugly fiancé . This was around the time Roberts sampled him too before moving on to Keifer with the famous dad.

Billy got hit with the ugly stick around age 40 or so.

He's a mess in that Kevin Kline movie where he plays the tennis pro.

[quote]R140 Everyone says how great she was in Casino. I didn’t see it. Ok at best.

No, she’s excellent in that. It’s hard for me to imagine another actress being better. And that character goes through a lot of change.

I love the way she plays drunk in this scene (the slurry “I wouldn’t do that if I were you...”)

I think she’s just okay in a lot of Basic Instinct. But that’s partially because she’s just having to play the broad idea of a character... not an actually well written character.

She's great in the remake of Diabolique. Bad movie but she's great.

r191 What did you think of her in the 1999 movie The Muse? I remember arriving to see it ten minutes late and as I entered the theatre two gay guys I knew from the local gay scene were walking out and said we warn you it is bloody awful !!They were trying to change to another film.

r188 I never knew Billy dated Julia Roberts?

I don't think Billy and Julia dated and were probably just fucking til she hooked up with Kiefer. That's the impression I got from an old Movieline story and a couple of items online. But the internet has her linked to almost every male costar so who can know, granted everyone know she's fucked at least half of them.

Billy was peak hot/dreamy in Backdraft and Ron Howays let you see his ass and shower.

[quote]She is a compulsive liar. I don’t believe any of her stories.

You think it's hard to believe that some fugly producer fucked a Hollywood actress?

Wow, Dunaway was over 50 in that picture and looks gorgeous.

Interesting Faye Dunaway hitches her wagon to Sharon Stone and Audrey Hepburn hitches hers to Julia Roberts. I bet Faye feels like a Hollywood outsider in certain ways.

I could not find the exact look (probably because It was custom made) but I believe Stone's shirt look is a Jil Sander piece, skirt included.

I think I finally got it straight, Andy Gibb murdered Victoria Principal because she slept with Ava Gardner in 1955 and aborted their love child, Sharon Stone. Sharon made a remarkable recovery from the abortion, after she was found in Frank Sinatra’s trash can by Billy Baldwin. Many years later, a producer asked Faye Dunaway to sleep with Billy Baldwin while dressed in her Mommie Dearest drag and call him Greg. Sharon wanted to watch, but she was traumatized by the wire hanger in Faye’s hand because it reminded her of the abortion that Victoria attempted on her. Frank Sinatra then ate a sandwich and someone fucked Ruta Lee while Marla Gibbs was trying to finger Jackee Harry on Hollywood Squares.

Trivia: the outfit Nancy Kerrigan wore in the 1994 Olympics freestyle was a Vera Wang number originally designed for Stone, then shortened.

Bingo, r174

r198, don't you mean Katherine Hepburn?

Both Hepburns did. Didn't Audrey ask her to fill in on some Unicef mission for her? She also liked Julia. And of course Kate famously said " That girl she has it. She's gonna be a star."

Bette Davis picked Debra Winger as the star to watch. She was right that Winger was the best actress of the bunch.

I remember when I first saw pictures of Dunaway in the early 90s thinking how she had “ruined” her face with her recent facelift - that it looked like she had taken an eraser to her face.

Now I look back and think she looked pretty damn gorgeous. She did erase her distinctively striking features somewhat with that facelift, but her work was still a DREAM compared to what she got later.

R204 and of those mentioned I'm not so sure Sharon Stone would not be the most pleasant to deal with.

Well I think it was in some interview wheee that brought up that Joan Crawford had praised Dunaway as the continuation of “the movie star”; they then asked Dunaway who she thought was the next “movie star” and she said Stone. Also Sharon herself has said numerous times that when she became a star after Basic Instinct, Faye, Shirley MacLaine and Angie Dickinson all took her under their wing.

Faye hasn't been sane since the 80s. I don't think anyone even considers Sharon Stone among the top star of the 90s. Roberts, Ryder, Ryan, Moore, Pfieffer, Bullock...Sharon Stone in in none of their leagues

Seems like she should just name names already.

R208 Well Faye even admitted either to Charlie rose or Larry king that Sharon didn’t make the best choices but then she probably didn’t have the best pickings. They simply were not making the kinds of films from the 60s and 70s in which Fonda and Dunaway thrived.

R197 50 isn't exactly ancient. If a beautiful woman has good genes and avoids getting fat, there's no reason she shouldn't look gorgeous at 50.

I found fayes quote if anyone is interested, it was made at the Locarno film festival a few years ago. It appears to be a sketchy translation but you get the gist of it:

“Acting is a matter of choices, Sharon Stone, close friend of mine, played great roles but not in the end, I chose the roles good for me.”

Didn't Sharon once admit she slept with a producer to get a part in a movie? I can't have sympathy for any actress who does that.

She's a crazy, has-been slut. Why do we care?

Si, si! Eet wos Weeelieeemm Baldweeeen!

R168 Perhaps, but she's also extremely honest. I'd believe her over narcissist Sharon.

Evans did indeed work with Ava Gardner in 'The Sun Also Rises', and as others have noted, he fucked every bitch including Lassie.

R200, that was wit-free. Don't quit your day job.

R16 No I didn't! Lassie was a boy!

Does anyone else think Ms Stone could find new life in a career on stage? She was brilliant in her SNL monologue

I’m surprised she hasn’t played Alexandra del lago yet

Also an updated version of sunset blvd where she says wistfully: we didn’t need dialogue we had p*****s.

Basic Instinct has finally been remastered for 4k UHD. I hope the Blu has been too. One of my faves I'd love to see remastered. Being released in June.

[quote] She even mentions one director who was too coked out to work but eventually sobered up and had a great career

Spielberg. See “1942.” It was rumored cast/crew had number of ounces of cocaine they required written into their contracts. And remember Spielberg did movies with legendary coke freak Richard Dreyfus.

Sorry for Spielberg typo the movie was 1941.

Nowadays if you read a story about 1941 it only focuses on Belushi's cocaine use, but at the time the film was being made there were blind items everywhere about the whole cast & crew being blitzed out of their minds. I know because I used to read those blind items as a teen. There were a lot of rock and roll magazines at the time that reported on it, too.

Oh, Sharon. You thought Billy Baldwin was the weak spot when it came to sliver? Not the inept, vulgar screenplay? Or you, totally miscast as a wan, sexually repressed book editor? What a terrible follow-up to Basic Instinct, where she seemed so smart and strong and powerful.

r207 I wonder what advice Angie Dickinson gave her?

Fuck. Fuck a lot. Fuck often. Fuck the ugly, fat ones and you - t o o cannnnnnnnn be a STAR!!!

[quote] we had p*****s.

Really, r221? This is Datalounge, and anonymous, and you can't bring yourself to type "pussies" to try and sell a joke?

Creepy Joe Esterhas wrote Basic Instinct and the screenplay for Sliver. In his autobiography, he claims that Sharon Stone had sex with him once to thank him for writing Basic Instinct.

More from Joe Esterhaus, "Sharon Stone is no bang of the century."

It's hard to stomach the idea of having sex with Joe Esterhaus.

r230 r231 How did Sharon Stone react to his claims?!

"Sharon is mensa. Smart lady if not a little nuts. Gorgeous, to boot. Love her!"

Total self-promoting bullshit. I cannot believe how many people bought it.

[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.]

Any dataloungers planning on buying Sharons memoir?

Yes.

What movie was it, Silver? Sharon had a hot tub sauna scene & her costars pissed in it before she got on set. They despised her. Was there a hot tub scene in Silver?

The film was King Solomon's Mines where the crew peed in the pool before Stone's scene.

R235 couldnt someone just generously summarise the important bits, for us datalounge a, like they did with Ali macgraw’s autobiography a few years ago. That was a hoot!

It seems pretty standard for female star biographies to include at least one or two examples of rampant Hollywood sexist behavior conducted by an unnamed producer/director/actor. Just name names and stop pissing around.

I’m listening to it now. Oh boy- she’s an existentialist and you can hear the stroke-y voice. I haven’t yet gotten to the part when she starts appearing nude in films or dating her way through Hollywood

The reviews are in

r241 Gosh I had not realised she was releasing it as an audiobook too.She must be expecting it to do very well.

It’s very good for a celebrity memoir.

I like her a lot, but she’s not the most stable person. And there was a really weird recent interview she gave the New Yorker where she tells her sister isn’t talking to her anymore, as aresult of her disclosing this. Also, the interviewer ends up telling how mystified he was when, after what he thought was a pleasant interview, Sharon refused a y further contact when he tried clarifying some things.

I remember screenwriter Joe Esterhaz writing about how Sharon Stone could not stand Billy Baldwin because she wanted him to drool over her and she wanted to make him fall in love with but he was apparently in love with his fiancé/wife Chyna Phillips so Sharon made his life miserable and was a real bitch . I believe it.

When Eszterhas' book came out, we had a thread here delighting in Joe Queenan's review. In particular, the phrase "he bedded her" about Eszterhaz and Stone cracked us up.

The memoir's title should be STILL THIRSTY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Yet once again, we're being asked by a mentally unstable skank to feel sympathy for her for having been treated like she's mentally unstable and a skank.

Dale Evans said what?!

[quote] Yet once again, we're being asked by a mentally unstable skank to feel sympathy for her for having been treated like she's mentally unstable and a skank.

She doesn’t, really, in the book. She takes herself very seriously but has a pretty good sense of humour about herself and manages to shrug shit off rather than letting it fester.
