Sharon Stone
‘80s superstar still going strong
Sharon Stone was born in the
small town of Meadville, Penn-
sylvania, in 1958. Her father was
a factory and forge worker, and
her mother was an accountant
and homemaker. As a youngster,
Stone distinguished herself at
school and was accelerated
through several grades, entering
second grade at only 5 years old.
Her early creativity was as
evident as her intelligence, and
Sharon Stone in “Mosaic”
she indulged in activities that in-
cluded sewing her own clothing,
painting, creative writing and the
staging of amateur plays in the
family garage that featured her
own scripts and sets.
By the end of her high school
career, Stone was already splitting
time between high school classes
and university courses, and she
soon embarked upon the study of
creative writing full time. It was

during her university years that
Stone was encouraged by family
members to enter a local beauty
pageant, and after following their
advice, she won the title of Miss
Crawford County. A judge at the
event advised her to quit school
and move to New York City to
pursue modeling, and in 1977
Stone did just that.
Within days of arriving in New
York, Stone had signed with the
prestigious Ford Modeling Agen-
cy, and her work in various ad
campaigns afforded her a globe-
trotting lifestyle that exposed her
to the culture and arts scenes in a
variety of destinations. Inspired,
Stone made the decision to tran-
sition from modeling to acting,
and she took up the study of the
dramatic arts. Her first role was a
brief appearance in Woody Allen’s
“Stardust Memories” (1980),
and she later secured a speaking
role in Wes Craven’s horror film
“Deadly Blessing” (1981).
Stone spent most of the early
1980s occupied with roles in tele-
vision series, and the last half of
the decade saw her cast in action
and adventure movies such as
“King Solomon’s Mines” (1985)
and “Cold Steel” (1987). In 1990,
Stone appeared opposite Arnold
Schwarzenegger in director Paul
Verhoeven’s “Total Recall,” and
her memorable performance
as an assassin disguised as the
protagonist’s wife led to positive
industry attention.
Stone’s first starring role came
in 1991 in the psychological
thriller “Scissors,” and in 1992
she gave one of her most iconic
and infamous performances in

Verhoeven’s erotic neo-noir mys-
tery “Basic Instinct.” At this point,
Stone was a true leading lady and
was able to select projects with
much more freedom. She joined
the cast of the slick western “The
Quick and the Dead” (1995) and
gave a powerful performance in
Martin Scorsese’s “Casino” the
same year.
Stone’s late 90s output con-
sisted mostly of forgettable or
underperforming films, including
the sci-fi movie “Sphere” (1998)
and the romantic comedy “The
Muse” (1999). In 2004, Stone
was part of the notorious flop
“Catwoman,” and in 2006 she
reprised her “Basic Instinct” role
in “Basic Instinct 2,” which failed
to get the attention or acclaim of
the original.
In 2017, she was part of the
cast for Steven Soderbergh’s tech-
nologically ambitious interactive
murder mystery series “Mosaic,”
which was facilitated by HBO
(and later cut into six episodes
that aired on the network).
On Monday, Jan. 13, Stone re-
turns to HBO as part of the cast of
“The New Pope,” a series about
the fictional Pope Pius XIII that
continues the story of the char-
acter introduced in 2016’s “The
Young Pope.”

QUOTES:
“I think, for a long time, people
just did not know what to do with
me. I looked like a Barbie doll, and
then I had this voice like I spend
my life in a bar, and I said things
that were alarming and had ideas
that didn’t make sense.”
“I’m more honest, more true,
more vulnerable because I used
to think that I was supposed to be
fearless. Now I know that it’s OK
to be afraid, as long as you can
show up.”
