Sharon Stone.

Sharon Stone was born on the 10th of March 1958, in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The second child of 4 (she has an older Michael, younger sister Kelly and younger brother Patrick) to parents Joseph and Dorothy Stone.

Sharon's mother wanted her brilliant child (Sharon is said to have an IQ of 154) to rise beyond the small-town, blue-collar fate of her and her husband, who were respectively a homemaker and Avon employee, and a factory worker. Sharon did rise well above to the status of one of Hollywood's most sought-after actresses and sex symbols, but not without some flops along the way.

Initially a creative writing student at Edinboro State University in Pennsylvania, Sharon entered on scholarship and graduated with a fine arts degree. In addition to her passion for literature, she also loved classic film. Sharon made her film debut as the pretty girl on a train in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), and starred in movies not even worth mentioning, such as 1981's Deadly Blessing, 1985's King Solomon's Mines and 1987's Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol. She did, however, make audiences take notice with a bit part in Irreconcilable Differences, in 1984.

TV audiences may remember Sharon from several '80s shows in which she appeared, such as Remington Steele, Magnum P.I. and T.J. Hooker. After more roles in Made-for-TV movies, Sharon was cast as Arnold Schwarzenegger's "wife" in 1990's Total Recall, which helped word of a new, sexy blonde actress get around Hollywood. Posing for Play.boy in the early '90s didn't hurt her cause either. In real life, Sharon wakes up to husband Phil Bronstein, a newspaper editor who wed Sharon on Valentine's Day, 1998. The couple adopted a baby boy together in 2000, named Roan Joseph Bronstein. This is the second marriage for Sharon, who was previously married to associate producer Michael Greenburg, from 1984 to 1987.

Sharon has already been romantically linked to singer Dwight Yoakam and actor/comedian Garry Shandling. Thanks to the success of Basic Instinct, the sequel is ready to be shot, after going through several options for the male lead. We are certainly anticipating Sharon's icy return.
