If you’re really interested in seeing Sharon Stone all kinds of tastefully naked, go here to see the NSFW photos from her Harper’s Bazaar shoot. I think she really does have a great body, still, but she’s definitely being helped along with some Photoshop. Stone sat down for an interview with Bazaar as well and… I’m not feeling it. I’m a Stone Defender too, I never really thought she was “crazy,” I just thought she was sort of a famewhoring brag-happy actress, you know? Sharon Stone is the first one to tell you how great Sharon Stone is. And there’s nothing wrong with that… until she throws Law & Order: SVU under the bus. TOO FAR. Some highlights:
Working on Law & Order: SVU for a multi-episode arc five years ago: “That was humiliating. Having worked with the finest people in the industry, I was like, ‘Wow, I’m really at the back of the line here. I’m wearing L’eggs panty hose, and in makeup they start out by putting this white primer on my face.’ I’m like, ‘This is so bad. What did I do to deserve this?’ [Then] I thought, ‘You know what? I got thrown off the bullet train, and now I’m going to have to crawl up a hill of broken glass, get back on the train that’s going a million miles an hour, and work my way from the cattle car up. That’s just the way it is, so I’d better get humble and shut the f–k up and do the job. Because if I can’t do this job, I’m certainly not going to be able to do anything else.’ ”
Her life after her cerebral hemorrhage: “It took two years for my body just to absorb all the internal bleeding I had. It almost feels like my entire DNA changed. My brain isn’t sitting where it used to, my body type changed, and even my food allergies are different. I became more emotionally intelligent. I chose to work very hard to open up other parts of my mind. Now I’m stronger. And I can be abrasively direct. That scares people, but I think that’s not my problem. It’s like, I have brain damage; you’ll just have to deal with it.”
She’s comfortable with her body: “I’m aware that my ass looks like a bag of flapjacks but I’m not trying to be the best-looking broad in the world. At a certain point you start asking yourself, ‘What really is sexy?’ It’s not just the elevation of your boobs. It’s being present and having fun and liking yourself enough to like the person that’s with you. If I believed that sexy was trying to be who I was when I did Basic Instinct, then we’d all be having a hard day today.”
Her love life: “I never get asked out. It’s so stupid. I don’t know what to do. I’ve been getting more brazen with flirting, but I don’t think men realize that I’m flirting. They just think, Oh, she’s fun!’” She turns to her longtime assistant and asks, “Do people even realize I’m straight? I think they have questions about it because I have so many lesbian friends right now.”
She’s now a spokesperson for Restylane fillers: She used them after her stroke, “It’s so common now for people to use fillers, it’s almost like a beauty treatment. It’s like you have mascara and a filler. And it’s a far better alternative than having your face cut apart and ending up looking like you got sucked into a wind tunnel.”
Gurl… why you gotta play SVU like that?! I’ll admit it, I was a big fan of Law & Order: SVU for years. But I hit a wall with it at some point, coincidentally around the same time Sharon Stone did her guest arc, which was also around the same time as Christina Lahti’s absolutely awful guest arc. I hold Lahti and Stone dually responsible for destroying my affection for SVU because they were AWFUL. And I can’t believe Sharon Stone actually thought she was “too good” for SVU. Bitch, please. She was not too good for network television. I don’t care if she worked with Marty Scorsese, no one is somehow “too good” or too accomplished to appear on a TV show.

I stopped with Svu when my beloved Elliot left. I can’t watch the new ones Olivia just gives me the pip. Sharon looks fab.
Correction…,Sharon photoshoped looks fabulous, real Sharon, Google her at the beach and you have her looking great for her age, better than some 30 yr old, a Lil frumpy, some cellulite, but this cover, that is the body of a teen. Fake, I’m sick of all these fake ass women, nothing wrong with having work done but don’t lie, and this s behind work, it is pure photoshoped .
And SVU, that was beyond shade, if she thinks she is better than her co stars, what does she think of regular peeps? Diva is not even enough for the bull she spewed. She was never a great actress to begin with. But making fun of the makeup dept, costume dept, does she realize these people make a fraction of the millions she does. Can’t stand the bitch
Real Sharon
http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/fp/Sharon+Stone+New+Boy+Toy+Making+Out+Venice+zCoSuL38aDdx.jpg
^Was that photo supposed to horrify us? She looks great. The body ages, and there is absolutely nothing shameful about cellulite.
I don’t think that picture is suppose horrify us, but it does clearly show the above pictures are at least touched up a little.
Of course they were touched up. I took that as a given.
Slightly more work than just touched up. Pics remind of the cover of Mariah’s new album.
I don’t think it’s fake or dishonest for people to not come right out ant tell us every single time a photo of them is photoshopped; when we see celebrities in photoshoots or on the covers of magazines, don’t we all usually know or assume that it’s shopped right away? It’s not really a secret.
Those pictures aren’t so shocking … even skinny models have issues with cellulite and it’s a healthy part of ageing.
I actually think she’s not so much slamming her SVU costars so much as just expressing how she felt at that time, recovering from brain surgery and adjusting to her new brain.
She was talking about the production values and how different they were from high-budget movies. And she admits her brain changed a lot, so changes in life might be hard.
I think she’s just very open and we know she’s got a big ego. And she’s been through a lot.
Really, what kind of hose does she think lawyers working in the DA’s office wear? L’Eggs! Sheesh.
She’s had her eyes done. Good work, but totally different than before.
I also stopped watching when Meloni left but it was a great series. As for Sharon, bitch please is right. You shot to stardom for flashing your junk in Basic Instinct. In my opinion you’re not that great of an actress and should be happy for any opportunity you get to stay relevant.
Also if she thought she was too good for TV then why is she returning to the small screen in a series called Agent X?
Same. That show just isn’t the same without him.
“I’m aware my ass looks like a bag of flapjacks.” Chortling….that’s funny shit, Sharon!
I would love to look like that at 57.. HELL ANY AGE.
Sharon messed up the way a lot of “sexy” women mess up regarding her action. She kept playing the same role over and over again. Not withstanding her medical issues.. but she never did much of anything different. She got stuck in the ONE character she did well. Even in roles she was critically praised for.
I looked at her IMDB page and she has several movies coming out this year. I thinks she is a fun person so I hope she gets back. But yeah the SHADE ON SUV.. but I haven’t watched that one in a long time.. I like Criminal Intent more.
That was no shade, that was pure bitchness
Loved Criminal Intent. I also loved the advisory relationship between Goren and Nicole Wallace. I believe it drove him mad in the end.
Also thought it improved when Jeff Goldblum took over. Wonderful actor.
I hated Criminal Intent. It was only any good when they brought back Logan.
Much preferred the Goren and Eames CI shows, Vincent D’Onofrio is a god…SVU was not as good after Chris meloni left but Mariska Hargitay is a goddess…
Was there also a Law & Order CSI? Because one of those series with a C and an I totally broke L&O for me. Loved SVU and watched it almost constantly while home on maternity leave, but Christopher Meloni was still on it (in the episodes on Netflix). Note: my little guy, now 5, seems none the worse for his early exposure to SVU.
No she did not just attack my beloved Law & Order SVU😱
@Maya, yes she did. And all because she has to wait in line to get roles now…way at the back of the line. Listen, Sharon is fab. The problem is as fabulous as she is she doesn’t realize her worth…she thinks “am all body and open legs before the camera and nothing more”. So she sells herself short by persistently valuing her body above her other attributes (whit, screen presence, intangible sexual allure, acting ability) and persists in taking off her bloody clothes.
And then she complains, that she is not being hired. Woman …don’t you have some coins stashed away…bet on you…team up with some other women like Renee Russo and do a film us women are dying to see. Don’t wait for some male studio exec. to do you a good turn. Pull your panties up….literally…and get someone to write an interesting script about love in your late 50s or your relationship with your young children or you as a CEO of some internet company…or you as president of some international organization weathering a rape scandal of one of your oversexed male contemporary …I love SVU but I blame you for having no other choice but having to appear on that show.
She was going on about having to wearing L’eggs pantyhose. She also complained about the foundation being white.
A real complaint is the director being verbally abusive, the stars showing up hours late, lines being fubbed and having to work for little pay.
I wonder how bad she’ll bad mouth Agent X if that fails?
I pose like that sometimes when I’m having gas pains and need to f**t but no one has offered to put me on the cover of a magazine 😉
Not yet 🙂
Sharon Stone, my 86 year old great aunt is coming for you. Don’t you dare shade her beloved Law & Order SVU. The only thing worse you could do is shade her NCIS. You’re in big trouble.
Ha, along with my step-MIL. And the only thing worse for her would be shading “Murder She Wrote.” 🙂
Tell Great Aunt Flowers to find me a sweater for the ride, because I’m coming for her too. BENSON AND STABLER FO EVA
How could anyone who has watched Breaking Bad, The Sopranos or South Park watch formulaic fare like Law and Order? Life’s too short for banal TV. Sharon’s right, it’s the back of the line.
I agree. SVU is boring. People should be over all that by now.
Who are you guys to tell people what they should be over. People like what they like. Not everyone is a fan of Breaking Bad. And no Sharon is not right. She just gave an opinion and an opinion is not fact.
But people enjoy it? Like some people enjoy literary fiction and others genre fare? I don’t see the problem. There’s room for all to find satisfying viewing. I like storytelling, so procedurals aren’t for me – they just tell the same story 22 times in a 22 episode season with a bit of soapline connecting them.
But I don’t see what’s to snot at in other people enjoying an hour’s familiar TV content as they relax in the evening.
Thank you. My late mother and father loved Dallas and Walker, Texas Ranger, respectively and that was their right. I’d give anything to have them back watching their not-to-my-taste shows.
My mother loved Scandal, which I hated but watched with her. I’d happily watch it with her again if I could have her back, too.
For me it depends on the show. Some shows, like Breaking Bad do storytelling and are amazing at it. Others are better when they stick to the same formula. Like, I much prefered House MD when they solved cases every episode, like in the first few seasons, rather than later when they put House’s personal life first.
I agree but also know that clearly plenty of people don’t mind banal TV or they wouldn’t keep making it. I mentioned my step-MIL and her love for Murder She Wrote. I don’t think her delicate sensibilities and need for rigid sameness could withstand a Breaking Bad type show.
Sounds like my parents.
I thought my parents were the only ones who watched Murder She Wrote 🙂
Okay. I’ll Say it and prepare for the barrage….. Breaking Bad is crap. It’s put upon little boys pretending they’re men swinging their dicks around being “badass” and framing it as “art”.
SVU may not be Oscar caliber, but it’s pretty solid and it makes you think, which is more than I can say for most tv/movies.
And SUV tackles issues that we are still dealing with today such as racism, pedophilia, rape and mental illness. What in the hell does Breaking Bad tackles, trying to show people how to be bad asses and commit crimes. Yeah very educational that show,,,please.
Thank you!!! You are not alone. I always thought Breaking Bad was drawn out way too long, relied too much on shock value, and quite simply not good. @Absolutely and @V4real high fives!!! I agree with everything you both wrote.
I don’t want to get in a fight but Breaking Bad is actually a lot more nuanced than that. I have told people that it’s just as much about the destruction of a family as it is about the drug world. I never would have gotten hooked by a “badass meth dealer” drama if that’s all it was.
How much of the series did you watch? I was under the impression that was part of the point. I think the impression of the show depends on the audience. If you have an immature audience they will admire the bad guys as cool. I definitely did not find the actions of its characters cool but enjoyed their character development. Walter White’s decent and development as villain protagonist was very compelling for me.
Thank you! I was offended by Sharon Stone’s comment until I saw yours.
ARE YOU CRAZY?!! Breaking Bad was incredible! Breaking Bad and The Wire are the best crime shows I’ve ever seen. I think The Sopranos was a little more uneven. I love Law & Order, but it’s a good example of what great dramatic television used to look like (before The Sopranos changed the game.)
Nayru, yes, another good point about BB. I have told my kids (who I don’t think are ready for the graphic content) that it’s a great cautionary tale about NOT getting involved in drugs in any form. It really does the opposite of glamorizing it but instead showing how not just meth but other drugs utterly destroy lives.
See, I saw the descent in the first episode. It didn’t need 5 seasons or however long it was on. Believe me, I’ve had many, many people bemoaning the fact that I don’t like it. It’s an opinion. I didn’t care about any of the characters. And I don’t mean they were all “bad”. I love lots of horrible, dark, gore-y stuff, I just didn’t give a lick for any of the characters, and if I can’t care about any of them then what’s the point? To each their own.
Thank you. I hated Breaking Bad.
hahahaha! truth!
I normally don’t say things like this to people online, but your comment warrants it. Quite simply, you are wrong. You are 100% wrong. Breaking Bad is probably the bet written show on TV in decades.
That’s an awfully judgmental and small minded comment.
The same can be said for this website.
How can someone who cares about current events and world policy enjoy celebrity gossip?
We’re talking about entertainment here. I simply find shows with well developed characters and complex storylines more interesting than shows with shallow characters and benal storylines. I don’t subscribe to the view that benal TV is a good form of escapism. On the contrary if I watched a show like Law and Order it’d bore me and I’d go back to thinking about the very things I’m supposed to be switching off from. I don’t have that problem with quality TV or movies.
@ MND: Uh, have you actually seen the show? The characters are pretty well developed. I think the problem here is that you confuse your taste with quality. It’s not necessarily the same.
I used to love Law and Order (even though it can be sad/disturbing sometimes).
I hate Breaking Bad and The Sopranos. Breaking Bad’s whole premise was just absurd and The Sopranos was disturbing beyond measure. I love South Park, House of Cards and OITNB.
And middle class people wear L’Eggs pantyhose.
It’s a matter of preference, period. I hate South Park although I admit it’s a great show. But I simply don’t like it. People looove Navy CIS; I think it’s boring as hell. But that doesn’t make it a bad show. Always consider the target audience and what it’s supposed to do. Sons of Anarchy sure isn’t supposed to make me happy for an hour and if I want gritty I’m not watching Hart of Dixie.
And people will yell at me for saying this but I can’t get into GoT either.
The only things I ever hear about Sharon Stone gossip-wise is that she is a nightmare to work with, who thinks she’s above everyone, because she’s so famous and has such a high IQ – and that interview pretty much confirms it. Even Lady Goop knows better than to say such things in interviews. I hope it will bite Stone in the “bag of flapjacks” and she’ll end up in a string of failed, cancelled-after-4-episodes tv shows and then Mariska Hargitay will have a chance to laugh in her face. I’m not a fan – I only watch Law&Order: SVU occasionally, when it’s on tv late at night, so I didn’t have a chance to watch her arc, but even if it was horrible, her words cannot be excused as they were completely disrespectful to all the people working hard to make this show, and all the fans, who like it.
Yeah, it really was a pretty crappy thing to trash what sounds like the only people willing to give her a job.
I thought the interview was kinda funny in some parts, but the stuff about her brain and her enhanced emotional intelligence really had me rolling my eyes. And she wonders why no one is asking her out!
And the thing is SHE was the one that was awful on that arc. I remember seing it and thinking she was really over the top and soap oper-y. You can say whatever about SVU but it is a well acted show and she lowered it with her overdone fake crying.
The odd thing to me is that if Sharon has such a high IQ, she would know that acting like she is above everyone is a terrible idea in the long-run. Of course, there is the possibility this is all her master plan. She sure does get the gossip churning.
I don’t think having a tantrum at how you had to do a lower budget job than previously qualifies you as having become more “emotionally intelligent”, frankly. The opposite seems, well, apposite, actually.
Never seen the show. It’s just your standard comfort-viewing procedural, isn’t it?
Yes, focusing on crimes involving sexual abuse. It has a pretty solid cast of actors who pop up and do better work in other movies/shows but this gives them a steady paycheck and it draws guest appearances from a fairly strong list of actors. Jeremy Irons, Marcia Gay Harden, Robin Williams, Ellen Burstyn, Dianne Wiest, Samuel L. Jackson, Olympia Dukakis, Chris Cooper, Julia Roberts, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman have all appeared on it, several of them AFTER winning Oscars. Stone shouldn’t be slamming it.
Martin Short was particularly effective in that episode when he was a supposed ‘psychic’. So fcuking creepy.
Didn’t Viola Davis appear on it several times, or was she on the mothership L&O?
Yep, Viola’s been on several times as a defense attorney.
Viola Davis was also on an early episode of L&O: Criminal Intent as a dirty cop/security guard. It was memorable because she turned the tables on Goren by profiling him, which what he usually does to others.
Add Frank Langella, Jerry Lewis and Isabelle Huppert to that list of guest stars.
I remember that episode, Boxy. I loved the relationship between Goren and Eames on CI. On a much later episode of SVU Benson and Eames are talking – Benson – It’s like you’re married. Eames – Yeah. Benson – But you’re not. I took that as a nod to all the Elliot/Olivia and Bobby/Alex shippers.
Alice, did you see the SVU season finale a few months ago? A bunch of Elliot/Olivia shippers were up in arms because Olivia told Amaro that she had grown more in the 4 years of their partnership than in the 12 years with Stabler. Those were fightin’ words for some folks! But it rang true; while partnered with Amaro, she’s been promoted to Sergeant and she has adopted a son.
Nooo, I missed that. I’ll have to catch it on USA or wait till my library gets the box set.
That CI episode with Viola as that dirty security guard was a great episode. Terri was no joke!
Viola Davis was also on the original L & O as a lawyer who was raped (ie: coerced into having sex in order to keep her job/make partner). She was AWESOME!
Was MGH the undercover FBI agent with the Texas accents who was posing as a white supremacist or something equally awful ? She was so good in that.
Otherwise I hate SVU.
Pwal—you are so right! Martin Short was fantastic as the “psychic.” No question one of SVU’s best episodes ever. And that’s saying a lot since they’ve been on, what…15 years or so?
Yes. I’ve only watched it maybe five times, but it’s like all of the Law and Order shows. Something horrible happens. Nice police come in and try to figure it out while looking sexy, hot or teddy-bearish, depending. They get it wrong. Nice DA people come in and go to trial while looking sexy, hot or dorky-cute, depending. Things are looking bad. Then, someone evil does something stupid, there’s a break in the case, and good triumphs over evil once again. Or occasionally not and they lose. It’s a soothing, Perry Mason type show and I think she’s just being ridiculous about it. She equates being on that show to having to crawl through broken glass up a hill? Like she was ever a remarkable actress? What’s a good, disparaging British term we can use?
‘What a load of bullocks.’
“Oooooo, get you” or “aye right; my arse”.
“Naff off Sharon”
I think it’s bollocks rather than bullocks Crumpet…
As my mother liked to say “yer arse in parsley” … whatever the hell that means ….
It’s funny to see an American being so openly snobby!
Good, disparaging British response?
“Wind your neck in Sharon, you ain’t all that anyway, love.”
Perfect!!
Haha! Love it!
Additionally, it films in New York City and hires lots and lots and lots of stage actors., providing them with a chance of employment between stage opportunities. Even actors who are primarily based in Providence or Boston will travel down to NYC to do a L&O episode. Flip through the bios on any Playbill on the east coast and you will find that the majority of the actors appearing on the stage in front of you have been on L&O SVU at some point.
Yeah, I’ve thought the actors who appear on it are talented. Not necessarily famous, but talented.
Doing a movie doesn’t automatically equate to quality work either. There are a lot of bad movies out there. Was Basic Instinct ever considered a quality movie? I”m sure any Law and Order episode was better than that.
Stone’s acting was bad on the Law and Order episode though.
Mind you, I realize that Basic Instinct made a lot of money. But she had to lose a certain amount of dignity by uncrossing her legs naked onscreen to do the role.
Gawd, Basic Instinct was *awful*. Even at the time it was like a kitschy caricature of itself, but at this point it’s been parodied so much that it’s more of a cultural concept than an actual movie. Like, “she pulled a total basic instinct. Put some panties on, girl.”
She stated that she was tricked into flashing her privates.
She had to bleach it , wear no underwear and spread her legs apart. What did she think was going to happen?
@funcakes, and why did she think they positioned cameras at that level and angle?
Basic instinct 2 was an absolute shocker, despite the presence of the ever- lovely David Morrisey…
You couldn’t tell she was emotionally intelligent based on the rest of that article. More like emotionally clueless.
My sister is obsessed with SVU, she would definitely kick some ass if she heard someone put down her show.
For what it’s worth, I’m a 23 year old woman and actually really enjoy Law and Order SVU. Admittedly not as much without the gorgeous Elliot Stabler, and the chemistry between Chris Meloni’s character and OLIVIA to me are unmatched as far as shows of those kind go. Furthermore, couldn’t tell you one thing I saw Sharon Stone in or will make a point to. You simply don’t slam past employers, especially ones with HUGE fan bases. Has nobody touched on the fact that that show in particular has been around for YEARS?! Ya, fall back biotch.
Okay, lady. back off of SVU. Really, how tacky and ungrateful can you be? All shehad to say was something like” I did some TV, and it wasn’t a good experience for me” or whatever. She shaded the cast and crew. Rude. Stabler dong 4 Life!!!!!!!!!!
Thrown off a train. Crawling on broken glass. Good Gawd, how very dramatic.
Geez I wish these mags would reduce the photoshop. She looks like she’s in her 30’s which if you compare them to recent pap shots she most certainly looks no where close to 30.
There should be a blurb at the bottom of photoshopped photos stating that they’re photoshopped. While they’re at it they should also put warnings on magazine covers like warnings on cigarette packets.
WARNING: Contents my cause dysmorphia and eating disorders.
And each image should list how many times the heal tool was used to get it looking that way.
Holy photoshop !
The thing I remember her for (in reference to her “hot era” when she had the Oscar Nom for casino or whatever it was) is her impeccable style. She wore some $30 top to some major award show, pairing it with an expensive skirt, and looked a million dollars. She was never really a great actor (she was basically just Sharon Stone dialled up in Casino) but Basic Instinct skyrocketed her name. The rest of her filmography is pretty much taken up by bombs. So she’s more of a visual icon, for her very brief A list moment, than anything else.
Agree.
There was when she wore her husband’s shirt and a Vera Wang skirt: http://www.celebuzz.com/photos/best-oscar-fashion-of-all-time/sharon-stone-oscars-1998/
Gorgeous.
I liked the interview. Very honest which is refreshing. I get tired of all the white-washing, PC crap in interviews, worried about your image. At least, with Sharon, I get some real answers.
She was only 51, had been a movie star, and was now not even heading up a TV show as the lead. She was doing a special guest appearance on four episodes that wasn’t even a good story arc or great character she was playing. It was bad. I remember thinking that myself, that it didn’t have any teeth to it, nothing brilliant in the writing or character to be drawn to doing it, so why do it. If I’m thinking that, as a beloved follower of SVU, then I can imagine what she was thinking at the time. She was honest about it, and she was right. She followed up with chastising herself, and to buck up, so I don’t get arrogance from it. She had been a big movie star and was only 51, when most male movie stars the same age are still in big films as leading men, and now was reduced to a bad four-story arc, where she added nothing because there was nothing amazing about the part or lines or story and she was just squished in with lots of actors and actresses on the show. She was beautiful on the show though, because her hair was back longer, just above the shoulder. I like her better with hair a little longer.
Review of her 4-episode arc
“Sharon Stone began her four-episode guest-star turn on Law & Order: SVU in an episode filled with such clunky dialogue and improbable details that by the end, she seemed like a “special victim” herself.”
And, yes, Christina Lahti was awful and that dragged down the show also.
And she isn’t afraid of aging in the industry for roles, which I admire. I didn’t even recognize Sharon in the Linda Lovelace movie playing Linda Lovelace’s mother. She did an excellent job and was unrecognizable. Frumpy and older is the description. I admired her for not caring and taking that role, as many actresses are scared to death to look old and frumpy at the age of 55, which is the age she was when she did it I think. There were a lot of lines on her face.
Seeing as how I am looking at 51 here, I admire her honesty about how the body changes and her ‘so what’ attitude. That she wears bikinis and doesn’t care that she isn’t perfectly toned or has (gasp) cellulite. Because that is where I am in life too. And it’s either put on a bathing suit and join my daughter in the pool, or stay covered up on the sidelines because I don’t want to subject anyone to my stretch marks or saggy bits. Eff that!
Bravo. We are in the same place. I havent given up on my appearance, but life is getting shorter and you have to live it. My greatest pleasure these days is speaking my mind. When I didnt like the quality of swim lessons my son was receiving, I complained . When the landscaper is doing a sloppy job, I tell him. It’s kind of freeing.
When I was quite young I read a poem called When I am Old I Shall Wear Purple. It didn’t really resonate with me then, but now I completely understand it and to some extent live it.
She was an insanely stunning young woman who turned into an isanely stunning older woman. I really doubt she has/body issues.
She can’t really act that well though. I’m not surprised she’d have to do tv. Kirsten Dunst is only 30 something and has to do tv (although maybe she’s doing better quality tv. Then again, she’s probably more talented than Stone).
The dialogue on her episode arc was probably not great, but the other regular actors are able to say it and seem natural. She couldn’t though. So I don’t know how much of it is the tv show’s fault. So many other actors on these procedural shows are able to come away seeming fine onscreen. I never came away thinking the guy who played Stabler or that Mariska Hargitay were bad actors. Even Ice-T comes off seeming like he has talent in his role.
Kirsten Dunst is a poor example as far as why her choice in roles or even her career trajectory.
It’s well known that she suffers from depression and took a few years out to deal with it.
She works as much as her disease will allow her, and TV is probably not too demanding as far as handling her medical issues.
I’m always overjoyed to see her work because she is a very good actress, but i’m also sad because you can see the toll it’s
Kirsten Dunst said recently that she finds tv more taxing than doing movies. She even talked about taking vitamin b to get through the long days, per the recommendation of another actress. I think she probably just isn’t a snob about doing tv. In one of her interviews, she noted that she’d probably wind up doing tv (the inference seemed to be that that’s what actresses have to do work-wise as they age). That, and a lot of actresses nowadays are noting that tv has better roles for women than movies do. I can’t remember if she said the latter part, but most people nowadays are talking about meatier roles for women being found in television rather than on the big screen.
Here’s an article where Kirsten Dunst notes that doing tv is harder than doing film:
http://www.webpronews.com/kirsten-dunst-doing-tv-was-so-hard-i-didnt-want-to-go-back-2015-08
Now I’m wondering if the work load ticked Sharon Stone off.
Maybe using Kirsten Dunst was a poor example, but overall acting is pretty unpredictable, and if you’re coasting on being a sex symbol like Sharon Stone, I don’t know why you’d be shocked that you’d age out of movies. Unless you have a lot of talent (i.e Meryl Streep) or charisma (i.e Sandra Bullock), chances are you’ll be doing worse than an episode of Law and Order in your 50s.
I find Stone’s criticism of Law and Order a bit baffling since Basic Instinct was kind of like an episode of Law and Order anyway in terms of genre (i.e procedural mystery that needs to be solved), except with a lot of porny looking scenes and no real social commentary about stories in the headlines. A Law and Order episode will at least try to present a point of view about the issue of the day.
Meh. She looks skinny. So what. Doesn’t save your face.
Her guest arc was horrible and critics were not kind to her so this is her chance to scream “WELL I HATED IT ANYWAY, THE SHOW SUCKS”.
I love SVU and it was sad when elliott left but I love me some Nick, he is so sexy with his accent and his dark hair, deep eyes, his voice… *sigh*… I think a good show changes things up and adapts, and I think they did it well. I don’t watch the show as much anymore but it’s a great show nonetheless..
Now, about Sharon, seems like she thinks she is above all and I have to say I have seen her in some of her most famous roles but I never thought she was an amazing actress. Maybe someone needs to recommend some big dramatic role I haven’t seen? She’s Famous yes, and capitalizes on her sexy image, but she’s not like the great actresses we know from her generation… in my opinion…
Maybe she needs to reinvent herself… let’s see with her new movies.
I never really enjoyed that show, but I think slamming it is unnecessary. She may have felt it was beneath her, but that’s where her career was at then. Plenty of other actors would have gladly taken a five episode job.
I’ve always thought she was really beautiful, and she does look amazing still, but she’s always struck me as rather abrasive.
You’re washed up as hell, hon. You’re not too good for anything.
I’d like to know about those two little boys she adopted after her divorce from the ex-husband got sold custody of the first one they adopted.
Does anyone know?
According to Google, they live with her in LA. Older son visits regularly from San Fran.
Thank you…that’s good to hear.
She has three sons. Her first son, she shared custody with her ex. They lived in different towns and the custody was arranged somehow, like two weeks in each city or one month each, something. As he got older, school age, the ex sued for full custody saying he was more stable because she was an actress and had to travel and because his homelife was more stable with being remarried and a wife at home. Sharon wanted him with her The judge gave him the full custody as far as where the child lives as his primary residence. They lived about six hours distance from each other.
Sharon was devastated and felt it was sexist, that because she had an acting career and had to work to support her family she was judged by the judge in her ex’s town, San Francisco. She said she had to hide all of that bitterness from her son and not show any of that when she had him for visitation, because ultimately it wasn’t about her. It had to be about him.
She has two other children she adopted on her own. There’s photos of her with all three children out together or traveling on the internet.
Oh wow. That is exactly what happened to me! I know officially love Sharon (sorry everyone).
Very good mother – very “hands on”. Loves her boys to bits.
Personally I’ve always liked Sharon’s blunt attitude. Roles for women her age are few and far between, unless you are Helen Mirren or Meryl Strep, so Sharon did have to go back to tv to get work. I knew someone who worked with her on her charity stuff and said she was “very smart, articulate and didn’t suffer fools gladly.” If she was gay, I’d ask her out.
I don’t think she’s just blunt. She’s rude and unkind. She just told an entire group of hard working people that they are the bottom of the barrel and she is so superior to them that working with them was like climbing up a hill of broken glass. It was completely unnecessary, conceited and says a lot more about her inflated opinion of herself than it does about them.
*Claps*
Her reach has always exceeded her grasp acting-wise so throwing the entire SVU cast under the bus is just another good day for her.
She’s insulting the make up artists and costume designers for SVU? What the hell? These are people just working and getting by. Do they really need to be told their work is shit? I hate that she is throwing insults at what are probably hard working and unrecognized workers.
Not to mention it’s a different medium, different equipment, different production output time. And maybe her character would wear Leggs? Most characters on SVU can’t afford silk stockings, ya know? So much for being knowledgable about her craft and character development.
Is she really shading the make-up artists and costume designers, or the budget for SVU?
You wouldn’t be good enough for her anyway.
Shots have been fired. She insulted the show my sweet Chris was in. Yet she has no problem starring in a TNT show.
With this kind of attitude no wonder she’s been MIA from the movies. Hollywood will not tolerate behavior she displayed in this interview.
Just ask Kathrine Heigel.
Here’s a shallow comment. I love her hair, love it.
Me too. And another shallow comment. I’ve been in her old house in SF, and in a neighborhood of amazing houses, her old house stands out, it’s so incredible. Huge, grand rooms for entertaining, amazing views, beautiful garden, all in an old house with incredible style.
Lucky you!
I’d rather be shallow in appreciating beautiful (not meaning extravagant with no taste) homes and people who know how to decorate, in knowing how to set a proper table for special occasions, and knowing how to make a bed properly; in appreciating people who take care of their yards and landscaping; and appreciating good wine and good food and, particularly, appreciating women/men who know how to cook and present food beautifully THAN to be shallow in thinking of nothing but myself and doing absolutely nothing but taking selfies all day long.
I keep staring at her face and not seeing Sharon Stone at all. She’s very pretty but looks so different. I like her hair, but her face looks transformed somehow.
Anyway, I’m hoping this comment will not offend anyone. I know it’s the style, and I’m all for grooming and looking neat, but seeing a 57 year old woman with no pubic hair is just such a turn-off to me. I don’t understand why you would put yourself through a painful process of hair removal on a delicate part of your body so you can look like a ten year old girl. I find it sort of sick.
I didn’t see a photo where she had none? Just where she was using her hand to cover that area.
Personally, I love to get waxed ‘down there’ but I don’t go all the way bald. I don’t want my daughter to see me and think that her own newly acquired pubic hair is somehow wrong.
I totally get what you’re saying, but grown adult women also have arm pit and leg hair naturally.
True, but those parts are easy, require less professional work, and are less likely to make you susceptible to cellulitis infection as far as I know.
You’re right, and I see the contradiction in my thought process. As I said below, it’s not a totally logical reaction.
i dont find it painful at all. i let the waxer handle all the parts not just bikini so i fail to see how they are different.
Maybe you have fine hair. Huge differences for me. In my experience the only thing more painful than a bikini wax was knee surgery. I absolutely cannot shave either without serious irritation, even hair remover causes irritation. I don’t always use shaving cream for my arms and legs, never have any problems with them. I mentioned other differences including the risk of infections.
maybe but i will never understand why it is ok to judge what someone does with the hair you will never see, but it isnt ok to say something like “her short hair makes her look like a boy.” i dont see the difference.
Well, her hand was over her pubic area but you could see the side and there was no public hair. But maybe she has an airstrip or whatever. I wish I had not said it was sort of sick. That’s not really what I meant. I can’t quite find the words, but something like it gets mixed up in my brain with sexualizing children and makes me uncomfortable. I am NOT saying that people who wax all the way are doing so to look like children or to sexualize children, just that it feels uncomfortable to me.
I think you are so thoughtful as a mother. You always think about how your behavior might affect your daughter or what messages you might send. I really admire that about you and Sixer and so many mothers on here.
Thank you GNAT. I just got tears in my eyes.
Aww, thanks GNAT.
FWIW – I don’t do any hair removal. At all. Legs, eyebrows, pits, vadge. Nada. Mostly because I’m lazy and don’t much care what I look like because that would take effort that I could put into something more interesting. Also because post-chemo I don’t seem to have much body hair left anyway, thus encouraging my laziness. And a little bit because – vis a vis vadges – I also can’t get rid of a slightly icky feeling about it. And another little bit because I’ve always resented anything that made me feel as though I were trying to look like a doll.
You go on with your bad self, sixer.
I think the waxing trend has more to do with people thinking body hair looks ‘gross’ than anything else. I don’t bother with my armpits because I barely have any hair there. With the rest, I’m on-and-off about it throughout the year.
Hairless creeps me out, too, because of the fact that young children are hairless and I think it’s a weird sort of connection with sex. I can’t even explain it – it just really bothers me.
Same here, GNAT. If I hadn’t seen her name with the pic, I’d have never recognized her.
I know this is a bizarre thought–but my very first reaction was that the pic looked like a blonde Mariska Hargitay.
That was before I really absorbed the headline. After I felt like someone was messing with me in these pics! But try mentally darkening her hair in that first face shot. 🙂
Totally with you on the hairless issue GNAT.
Her face is probably so different as a result of the fillers she’s had after suffering the cerebral hemorrhage. Fillers can completely transform a person’s face – in some cases the shape of peoples’ eyes even seems to change.
She’s channelling the main character from Orange is the New Black to me.
SVU went down the crapper when it was moved to 9p for that stupid, ill-conceived Jay Leno show. I stopped watching it because it was toned down to such a degree that it wasn’t the same show anymore.
Her expression seems a little sad to me.
I like Sharon. And YES, SVU is bottom of the barrel casting for someone who was at the top in films years before.
Uh oh, Kiddo, if it wasn’t a Sunday you might be in trouble…
Esmom, whether or not you like the show, it isn’t high art, with nuance. It’s formulaic to the nth degree, and is ‘basic TV’ at its most basic. It doesn’t mean that people can’t enjoy it, the actors on it, or the plots, etc. But even if they do, they must admit that a guest spot on one of the least innovative/imaginative programs on TV, is a step down for a previously wildly successful film actress. From that perspective, it was a low point in her career, and she even says that, in spite of it being not the most glorified role she could have, she TOOK it, in order to scrape her way back into showbiz. I give her a ton of credit. I think she is allowed to tell her truth about rock bottoms. The role may have been a stupid one. She doesn’t say that the show has no value to people.
ETA: she also mentions that her brain injury created a new person, if you will. She has become more blunt.
No arguments from me here, just joking about you being in trouble. People clearly have issues with maybe not what she said but how she said it. Newly acquired bluntness notwithstanding.
There have been quite a lot of much more famous and talented actors than her on SVU. Yes, it’s formulaic, but let’s be honest, most movies and TV shows are. It’s rare that you find one that isn’t. I can think of much more bottom of the barrel than SVU. She’s just a stuck up b**** who’s using a stroke to excuse her rudeness. I literally laughed out loud when she said she was emotionally intelligent followed by she can be abrasive and people just have to deal with it.
She was contradictory, but otherwise, Meh. When I think of redundant TV, SVU is pretty much at the top of the list, especially with the offshoots, barring all the CSIs. Maybe she’s a snob, I don’t really care. I’m not her number one fan, so I’m not going to invest any more time on the thread, but I do get where she was going. Probably others have felt the same way, but filter better. My take is that it’s probably tough being a past femme fatale who now has flapjacks for an ass and is resorting to hawking fillers. There’s something about ‘the crazy’ that I like about her. I’m prone to appreciating some actors/actresses that other people hate, but I’m okay with it. Most of the excerpt read to me as a fragile, insecure person trying desperately hard to toughen up. She has aging against her as well as a debilitating physical condition.
She was abrasive long before her stroke.
‘Basic Instinct’ star Sharon Stone admits she used to be a nightmare to work with.
The sexy mum of two says she was a complete bitch on set but has mellowed out as she’s got older. She revealed: “I thought I was amazing but those days are over. I’m over me and I don’t worry about all that stuff anymore.”
Ya right Sharon….
One of the rules not only of Hollywood but any other industry is not to spit where you’ve eat, even more when you’ll probably go back there asking for more food as soon as your cycle goes down. Hollywood is ups and downs, as life dear Sharon.
There are so many NYC actors who are grateful to the Law and Order franchise in general because those shows employed so many of them (often in multiple roles over the years). They were thankful for the gig and the residuals that came with it. I would rather think about those actors rather than Sharon Stone, any day of the week.
That’s just the way it is, so I’d better get humble and shut the f–k up and do the job. Because if I can’t do this job, I’m certainly not going to be able to do anything else.’ ”
I’m thinking this is the internal dialogue you REALLY should have listened to before you opened your gob and started bad mouthing a popular and well regarded (and I saw this as someone who rarely watches L&O) and by proxy, its cast. Better and better thought of actors than you have gone on that show and managed not to sound like total jackasses about it.
You’re not that good of an actress, so be thankful you got the job.
what an ungrateful entitled witch. yeah sharon, your acting has so much depth that you have and room to sit around and criticize hardworking character actors. listening to this wave of actors critize projects that theyve done is so entitled and frankly rude. if you dont want the job, dont take it. step away for a moment from the hype your publicist and entourage are throwing at you constantly and quit denigrating projects or genres you dont care for. there are different things in this world that everybody may or may not like but you can either express your distaste in a polite manner or bite your tounge if you dont have anything nice to say. you took the job, you took the money, so shut the funk up sharon. chick is washed up and has been since about 1992 and her lack of humility and class is not helping the cause. she makes madonna look like miss congeniality.
And she wonders why people won’t go out with her? It’s not because they think you’re a lesbian, honey. They think you’re a witch.
Had exactly the same thought. She’s arrogant as well, and insisted for a long time to be a member of Mensa. Yet if you listen to her drivel about the earthquake in Sichuan, China in 2008, it’s very obvious she’s not;-)
“Well you know it was very interesting because at first, you know, I’m not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don’t like that. And I had been this, you know, concerned about, oh how should we deal with the Olympics because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that Karma? When you’re not nice then the bad things happen to you?”
@siri, Exactly! She was finally forced to admit that she lied about having an IQ of 150 and being a member of Mensa when they called her out and said they had no record of her belonging. Then it turned into some lame story about how she made it up because she was being treated like a “dumb blonde.” She’s crazy.
I know Stone was a big hit in the 90s, maybe the 80s (born in 89 here) but I have never and will never get her appeal. Looks and acting wise. She was raved about being the femme fatale and I’ve never understood why. So I’m rolling my eyes and laughing at the SVU comment.
She became a bit of an overnight star in Basic Instinct (1992) by merely uncrossing her legs in a short tight dress revealing the full view of her nether regions, unencumbered by panties. I always found her to be hard and brittle and her beauty is eclipsed by her general bitchiness and mediocre acting.
you could see her vadge in an era when people didnt have internet and couldnt easily see vadge
so we are still stuck with her
Lol, Lisa, good summation. And agree Jaded. Pretty is as pretty does, as my mother would say.
Did Dick Wolf sneak onto the set and pose as an assistant or something?
Sharon, people who make you pose as though you’re sitting on an invisible toilet trying to deal with a bad case of constipation are not your friends.
Isn’t this woman basically famous for flashy her vagina? I mean it’s not like she has ever been known for her acting talent unlike many people who have made careers on tv such as the multi award winning star of SVU.
Up until now, I always kind of liked what I thought was a carefree attitude in Sharon. However, this is not just blunt, it’s plain stupid, and rude. She’s not a very capable actress, and played herself all over again in almost every role. Even Casino was her playing herself as a narcissistic bitch- that’s why they took her in the first place. It’s also not the first time we hear her complaining about the “material”, or the ‘unprofessional’ way of doing things (like the set makeup), while not realizing SHE is the one acting unprofessional. There are plenty of talented un-or underemployed actors out there, so a liitle gratefulness would go a long way. Regarding SVU, it’s a rather good show with solid scripts, and acting, and as many already said, had some wonderful guest appearances. I didn’t think anyone could ever top Christine Lahti’s awful overacting, but Sharon managed that with ease. And those nude pics of her are so meaningless, since they only let us know that photoshop is alive, and well. If she was anywhere near any confidence about herself, she would have asked for a more realistic approach, or left it out completely.
I had forgotten how unlikeable Sharon is. She’s been pretty much irrelevant for a while now. She had a horrible divorce with her most recent husband and he was granted custody of their son. I think that speaks volumes. I don’t think there is any mystery as to why no one wants to go out with her. I’ve always thought she was off her rocker. Does anyone remember how she lied for years about being a member of Mensa and having an IQ of 150? When she finally got called out by them, she admitted she lied. She’s nutty and has always been thirsty for attention.
Also, she should put her clothes back on. Kudos to her for bravery, I guess, but why bother if it’s only going to be photoshopped to the point that it isn’t even your body?
“She had a horrible divorce with her most recent husband and he was granted custody of their son. I think that speaks volumes.”
Actually, that doesn’t speak to her lack of character at all, but rather the father’s ability to provide a stable home where there was a primary caregiver (stepmom) who was home with the child. That is given precedent over working moms these days.
Your comment stings, because it is not the first time I have heard it, and it has been leveled at me. That I must have done something horrible in order to lose primary custody, that I didn’t fight the courts hard enough. But what I had lost was my ability to stay at home with my preschool age child, as I was forced to go back into the work force full time and would have had to put her in daycare for a good part of every day. It sounds like that exact thing happened to Sharon Stone. Unless the father doesn’t care where the child is, or wants the child to stay with Mom, he can regain custody simply by remarrying and providing a stable home environment for the child. Courts don’t automatically give the children to the mother anymore. And really, it makes sense, doesn’t it? Why put your child into the care of strangers every day if they can be with someone who is sticking around for the long term? I may not agree with my daughter’s stepmother on a lot of issues, but I don’t dwell on that. My daughter is healthy, active and happy. She loves her dad like crazy – very much a daddy’s girl. These things give me peace when I am tempted to feel sorry for myself.
So please – think before you level that kind of serious accusation at anyone.
Sharon wanted to give her son botox injections in his feet when he was only 4 or 5 years old because she thought they were too sweaty and stinky. The father objected strenuously and I think it may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back – she can’t have been an easy person to be married to. You’re taking this issue too personally and weren’t party to what went on in Sharon’s marriage to apply it to the unfortunate circumstances you suffered through.
@Crumpet, I’m sorry to hear about your situation, but I was referring to exactly what @Jaded said. Sharon didn’t get custody of her son because she’s mentally unstable. Along with what @Jaded mentioned about her wanting to botox her son’s feet, she also insisted that he had a spinal issue that there was no medical evidence of. A judge called her “an unfit mother,” verbatim, and said that she made no effort to be as involved in the child’s life as she could be. She has insisted that her and her ex-husband have joint custody, but court records show that the judge granted her ex-husband permanent sole physical custody. I was referring to that, not judging people who don’t have custody of their children.
You can have joint custody (I do as well) but still have one place the child’s primary residence. In other words, you are still responsible for half of the parenting and all that goes along with it.
As far as mental stability goes: Ex’s can be very judgmental toward a parent they see as a rival, as is what happens in these types of custody battles. My ex thought I was unstable because I requested my daughter be tested for ADHD (I have it, and struggled in school my whole life). He about went through the roof with that one, and tried to use it against me. If a judge called her an unfit mother, than why would she have been awarded joint custody?
No one knows what goes down in these types of situations except for the people involved. I admit that I take statements like Daria said personally, because I had the same accusations leveled at me. The botox thing – yes, that does sound like a bad decision, but I don’t think it warrants a label of ‘mentally unstable’. Accusing people of that without a proper diagnosis is so damaging IMO.
Thank you Daria and Jaded for your responses. I’m sorry if I am taking this too personally. This situation is so close to mine it just took my breath away for a bit.
you know what was awful on SVU?
when sharon stone turned up for a few episodes and read her lines like a bored 8th grader stuck doing a play reading in english class
team robert goren 4evah!
I don’t care, I will take Sharon Stone’s exquisitely served straight up Bitch. I love her!
No class throwing SVU under the bus. They were decent enough to offer her work when obviously no one else was.
EXCUSE YOU. One of my dearest friends is a PA on SVU.
If they were putting you in drugstore hose it’s because they literally have a dozen new actors and featured extras cycling in and out of that set every day. One episode might feature ten new actresses who need hose. For someone who gets uppity about any social issue where you think the peasants aren’t doing enough to make change happen, you clearly have a very wasteful mentality. While I’ve never talked to my friend about the pantyhose situation – funny enough, I’ve never asked her about YOU, either… – I can only assume that they keep hundreds of inexpensive hose in multiple hues and sizes so that they get people in and out of them quickly without spending an arm and a leg. If some actress with one line in a courtroom scene goes home in her hose or rips them, better to have lost $5.00 than $20 on a pair of department store hose.
I don’t know why the makeup artist chose to use a white primer, but I’m sure that he or she knows what they’re doing, as the people working on that show are some of the best in the NY industry. Were you shooting in natural, overcast light outside in NY? Because then that’s probably the reason that she or he was trying to lighten your face so that you wouldn’t look dull and darkened on camera. Since the makeup artist didn’t publicly criticize you for your “work,” the fact that you felt the need to talk smack about some poor and innocent professional makes you seem absolutely atrocious.
tl;dr – You’re a wasteful, snotty and mean person. Boo.
Whatever. I still love SVU and think Mariska is twenty times the actress Sharon Stone will ever be.
We’ve all heard actresses are washed up at age 40. I personally would be extremely grateful to be working, period.
I always root for Sharon Stone. Even if she is crazy. We all liked her when she was at the top with Basic Instinct and few others. She had like this perfect pretty face. I dont understand how she could do this to her career. She should have been A-list, doing blockbusters. Now in supporting roles. But she just vanished from good movies long time ago.
I hope one time she can get her s*it together and get some supporting role in Awards Season movie or on some show on HBO or AMC.
No, we didn’t “all” like her when she was at the height of her popularity. I have always thought that she was rude, obnoxious and abrasive with an over-inflated ego. She is a mediocre one-note actress (and always has been) who thought she could claim to be a genius and have ridiculous on-set rider demands. She had a pretty face but a bad attitude and not enough talent to justify it–that’s the real reason her career isn’t where she thinks it should be.
And she sucked on SVU.
I think she’s gorgeous; if I look half as good at her age I’ll be a very happy lady!
You have to put what she’s saying about SVU into perspective – as a top-billing movie star she would have had the best of the best, so of course her experience on this show would have been quite a shock. Compare Sharon’s experience to someone else going on the show as their first-ever acting job who would of course love the opportunity – before passing judgment on her comments, you have to imagine how it may have felt from her perspective.
Personally, I don’t like this show – it just doesn’t seem to have the formula right.
Here are some actors who had guest appearances on SUV: Jeremy Irons, Robin Williams, Piper Laurie, Dianne Wiest, John Heard, Frank Langella, George Segal, Martin Short, Alfred Molina, Angela Lansbury, Leslie Caron, Bill Pullman, Ellen Burstyn, Brenda Blethyn, Stephen Rea, Treat Williams, Patricia Arquette….ALL of these people are far more experienced, and better actors… and they obviously were not ‘shocked’. BTW, why didn’t she just say ‘No’ if she felt the script was dumb, or the whole thing beneath her?
JK Simmons. Boom! He is the head MF in charge. He’s been in every small role there is and won an Oscar in the end. Something Sharon will never have in here lifetime.
@funcakes: How could I forget him! Sorry!
Thats so funny I remembered when she guest starred on the show and HER acting was what was cringeworthy
yep ^^this^^
After reading what she said, and some of the comments here about how crazy she is, I actually dislike her even more.
Not a single redeeming quality, it’s a miracle somebody still gave her a job.
I thought this was a photo of Heather “Dooce” Armstrong.
Yeah I can see that, and judging from this interview the attitudes are quite similar.
Meh, I figure she meant in terms of production. But it’s not very nice of her to dump on the show, especially when she just wasn’t good in it.
The Law & Order family is an acting institution and it deserves respect. How many actors have gone through those shows on the way to their big break? And how many “esteemed” actors still go in for guest appearances? SVU isn’t a big, glamorous show with tons of promotion, but it’s had a longer run than most big shows ever will.
Sharon Stone was always quite full of herself. I think she honestly felt she was DeNiro or something the way she’d talk about “Marty” Scorcese. Blech. I’m not sad to see her ego kicked in a bit She’s very beautiful but was only marginally talented. I hate her snobblish attitude here. I’m not a big Law and Order viewer but I know lots of talented NY City based actors end up doing those shows. If they’re good enough for those actors they’re good enough for you Sharon. Get over yourself
God she’s arrogant! She should’ve been thankful they put her on the show!
It’s ironic, her criticisms, given the caliber and reputation of actresses who’ve appeared on the show. It used to be an automatic guest actress Emmy nom and a number of times, a win.
She was supposed to star in Kristen Stewart’s new movie American Ultra, but was fired when she showed up to set ‘out of it’. It was kept very quiet but some crew member tweeted about it.
At least she admitted that she had to become humble and get on with her job.
She’s a stunning woman but there is NO WAY her body looks like that at almost 60
I’ve never watched svu, but can remember when stone was relevant, primarily for her crotch shot…I’m getting sooo old…
