Actress

One of the legends of the American screen, Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award-winning actress Sharon Stone has captivated audiences across the world with her leading roles in movie classics that include Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Casino and Catwoman. Her more recent roles in film and television have received critical acclaim. Variety magazine praised Stone's appearance in Steven Soderbergh's 2017 drama Mosaic for its "terrific range and depth" and her "effortless charisma," while the Daily Beast deemed that "Stone's turn is something close to masterful." Among the many social justice causes Stone has championed are improved treatment for AIDS/HIV sufferers and peace in the Middle East.
