Chocolate Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 Category 51+ , TALENT SEMI - FINAL ROUND 1: Kim Basinger vs. Sharon Stone Kim by me In 1976, after a five-year stint as a cover girl, Basinger decided to put her modeling career on hold and move to Los Angeles to begin a career in acting. After appearing in small parts on a few TV shows such as "McMillan & Wife" and "Charlie's Angels", her first starring role was a made-for-TV movie, Katie: Portrait of a Centerfold (1978) in which she played a small town girl who goes to Hollywood to become an actress and winds up becoming a famous centerfold for a men's magazine. She was a Bond girl in Never Say Never Again (1983), where she starred opposite Sean Connery. She did a famous pictorial for Playboy magazine in 1983, which Basinger has said led to good opportunities, such as Barry Levinson's The Natural (1984), co-starring Robert Redford, for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Academy Award winning writer-director Robert Benton cast her in the title role for the film Nadine (1987). Other directors repeated her in their films, such as Blake Edwards for The Man Who Loved Women (1983) and Blind Date (1987)) and Robert Altman for Fool for Love (1985) and Prêt-à -Porter (1994). Her most prominent appearances include 9½ Weeks (1986), Batman (1989) and Curtis Hanson's L.A. Confidential (1997) for which she received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, as well as the Golden Globe and Screen Actor's Guild Award. Hanson would cast her once more as Eminem's mother in the hit film 8 Mile (2002). She holds the distinction of being the only actress who has both posed nude in Playboy magazine and won an Academy Award. 2008 While She Was Out, The Informers 2009 The Burning Plain (wikipedia) Sharon by Julia Stone was cast for a brief but memorable role in Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), and then had a speaking part a year later in the horror movie Deadly Blessing (1981). When French director Claude Lelouch saw Stone in Stardust Memories, he was so impressed that he cast her in Les Uns et Les Autres (1982). She was only on screen for two minutes and did not appear in the credits. Her next role was in Irreconcilable Differences (1984). Through the rest of the 1980s she appeared in Action Jackson (1988), King Solomon's Mines (1985) and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1987). She also played the wife of Steven Seagal's character in Above the Law (1988). She appeared in an episode of Magnum, P.I. titled "Echoes of the Mind", where she played a love interest of Thomas Magnum (1984). Her appearance in Total Recall (1990) gave her's career a much-needed jolt. The role that made her a star was that of Catherine Tramell, a brilliant, bisexual serial killer in Basic Instinct (1992). Stone's stardom was such that she received top billing over Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio when cast as a gunslinger for 1995 western The Quick and the Dead. In 1996, she received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Dramatic Motion Picture for her role in Casino. She also earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for the role. Stone starred opposite actress Ellen DeGeneres in the 2001 HBO movie If These Walls Could Talk 2. In 2003, she appeared in three episodes from the 8th season of The Practice. For her performances, she received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Stone attempted a return to the mainstream with a role in the film Catwoman (2004); however, the film was a critical and commercial flop. After years of litigation, Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction was released on March 31, 2006. After earning $3,200,000 in its debut weekend, the movie was declared a bomb. Stone has said that she would love to direct and act in a third Basic Instinct film. A subsequent film role came in the drama Alpha Dog. In February 2007, Stone found her role as a clinically depressed woman in her latest film, When a Man Falls in the Forest, strangely uplifting, as it challenged what she called "Prozac society". 2008 If I Had Known I Was a Genius, The Year of Getting to Know Us, Five Dollars a Day 2009 Streets of Blood (wikipedia) WHICH ONE IS MORE TALENTED?
