Sharon Stone (born March 10, 1958) is an American actress, model and producer. She came to international attention for her performance in the 1992 blockbuster film Basic Instinct, which caused controversy for its erotic content.
She was one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood in the 1990s, until she moved to San Francisco to live with her husband, Phil Bronstein, and raise their adopted son, Roan Joseph. When that marriage dissolved, Stone returned to Los Angeles and resumed her film career.
