Quote: "I believe that if you truly, truly love your children, you need to supply condoms in a place in your home, at a quantity that makes it a non-judgmental situation for them to have them... If they want to make water balloons out of them, great. If they want to carry them so they feel tough, great. If they want to give them to their friends, even better."
Sharon Stone Biography
Actor, model, producer. Born March 10, 1958 in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The daughter of a factory worker, Stone won a scholarship to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania at age 15 where she studied creative writing and fine arts. Upon graduation, the Miss Pennsylvania beauty pageant winner decided to pursue a modeling career in New York where she signed with the Ford agency. By the late 1970s, Stone was a highly sought-after model, appearing in both print and television ads nationwide.
Stone decided to branch out into acting in the 1980s, only to appear in a number of little-seen films throughout the decade with the exception of 1984's Irreconcilable Differences. Her first notable part came in 1990's Total Recall as the wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Two years and one nude photo shoot for Playboy later, the actress's star vehicle arrived when she landed the role of the unforgettable bisexual murder suspect in the blockbuster film Basic Instinct with Michael Douglas. However, subsequent films such as 1993's Sliver and 1994's The Specialist suggest that the acclaim may have been more due to her simmering sexuality than her acting.
In 1995, Stone proved the critics wrong with her Golden Globe-winning performance in Martin Scorsese's Casino. Following the win, she took on a number of dramatic roles, including The Quick and the Dead in 1995 and Last Dance in 1996. She finished the decade with a number of uneven films, including Sphere in 1998 and Gloria in 1999, but received praise for her first comedic performance in The Muse that same year.
In 2003, the actress costarred in Catwoman with Benjamin Bratt and Halle Berry.
During the late 1990s, Stone earned more attention for her fashionable lifestyle than her filmmaking. She was married to producer Michael Greenburg from 1984 to 1987 and San Francisco Chronicle Executive Editor Phil Bronstein from 1998 to January 2004. In 2001, Stone and Bronstein adopted a son, Roan Joseph Bronstein.
