Sharon Stone recieved the Golden Icon Award at the Zurich Film Festival and held a very emotional and impressive spech. Afterwards there was a Q&A with Max Loong.
Sharon is so refreshing and honest, so authentic. Her illness was not in vain, it made her more "in the moment"💕 she's a pure inspiration to me as an artist
The worst shot-picking from movies ever. I assume that Sharon Stone was shocked by this selection as well (hence her forced laugh on the stage). She has a range of great movies that demonstrate her acting talent, including comedy and dramatic, very character roles. But this group who organized the award decided to concentrate on Basic Instinct and Casino, and included mostly nude scenes. Very shallow and disrespectful arrangement towards a wonderful artist in her 60 who did great and hard to go far from a legs-crossing scene, e.g. 'yeah, I did that, but I did more and very serious roles too'. Why there were no shots from Diaboliques, or Lovelace, Alpha Dog, Last Dance, Intersection, Mosaic? Come on, Swiss guys, do you have hidden fantasies that keep you focused on nudes only?
You are aware she's done a whole heap of Humanitarian work also right? - The showreel was not very well put together, they could have included many other movie projects!
