Sharon Stone: The actress’s memoir from ‘Basic Instinct’ continues to make big headlines.
Since Sharon Stone released her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice earlier this year, controversies surrounding her career have continued. The 63-year-old actress gave a recent interview to Zoomer to talk about her work, where the American dared to address the role of women in Hollywood. A conversation in which he had some curious words towards Meryl Streep, which did not go unnoticed by anyone.
The actress was specifically asked about a phrase from her play: “we were told that there was only room for one.” The interviewer then remarked, “So when you finally got to work with Meryl Streep …”. A sentence that Stone did not let finish and brought out the worst face of the American. ” I like how you say that line, that when I got to work with Meryl Streep. You didn’t say, ‘Meryl finally got to work with Sharon Stone.’ Or we finally got to work together .”
The actress from Casino and Basic Instinct attacked the journalist for her way of expressing herself and spoke about Streep’s relevant role in the film industry. The interpreter thus denounced that the business has been formulated on the premise of ‘envying’ and ‘admiring’ Meryl, causing all of them to have to ‘compete’ against her.
Better villain than Streep?
“I think Meryl is an amazingly wonderful woman and actress. But in my opinion, frankly, there are other actresses with the same talent as Meryl Streep. All of Meryl Streep’s iconography is part of what Hollywood does to women. ” pointed out Stone, who alluded to actresses such as Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, Judy Davis, Olivia Colman, or Kate Winslet to support this claim.
“I’m a much better villain than Meryl. And I’m sure she would say that. Meryl wouldn’t be good at Basic Instinct or Casino. I know. And she knows.” His mention of the Oscar nominee on more than twenty occasions created a new controversy over the possible bite among the veteran actresses. Is there a bad relationship between the two or has Stone simply expressed his opinion in a confused way?
