Sharon
Vonne Stone (born March
10, 1958) is an Academy
Award nominated, Golden
Globe and Emmy winning
American actress,
producer, and former
fashion model. She came
to international
attention for her
performance in the 1992
Hollywood blockbuster
film Basic
Instinct.
Sharon
Stone's appearance in
Total Recall (1990) with
Arnold Schwarzenegger
gave her career a much
needed jolt. To coincide
with the movie's
release, she posed nude
for Playboy magazine,
showing off the buff
body she developed in
preparation for the
movie (she pumped iron
and learned Tae Kwon
Do). She said she posed
for the magazine because
she needed the money. "I
had just remodeled my
house. I was broke. I
needed the bread." In
1999, she was rated
among the 25 sexiest
stars of the century by
Playboy.
Shortly
after the release of
Total Recall, Sharon
Stone had a car accident
on Sunset Boulevard in
Los Angeles. Immediately
after the accident, she
went home, not knowing
she had just suffered a
concussion. She woke up
almost completely
paralyzed and ended up
lying on the floor,
crying, for three days.
When she finally got to
the hospital, the
concussion was diagnosed
along with a dislocated
shoulder and jaw,
several broken ribs, and
three compressed discs
in her back. The
accident left scars that
are visible in some of
her later screen
appearances.
