Why has her career turned to *beep*


Sharon was HUGELY famous throughout the nineties. Still to this day she is regarded to as a movie icon and yet she's unable to get any good movie roles anymore. I know that she got older but there are plenty of other actresses that never reached the level of fame and success Stone had reached that continued acting until a very old age. Was there a movie role that she took that ruined her career or something?

1. She's not a talented actress.

2. She's not likeable as a celebrity, she's embarassed herself through lies many times in the press.

Have you seen Casino? She's actually a very talented actress. Unfortunately she just made a lot of really bad movies with bad writing that made her seem like a terrible actress.

Casino is a good movie and her ROLE was good, SHE herself is not good. You see the difference?

Any actress would be good in that setting with good direction. Her acting skill is average.

Strongly disagree. Sharon is a great actress.

Casino
Last Dance
Bobby
Basic Instinct

Are all great performances. She's been good in supporting roles too. I guess she's caught that bug over 40's not all actresses careers go from strength to strength. Plus in all fairness she's not that likable unfortunately.

She had no theatrical training - transitioning from the world of modeling and posing worked great in dumb '80s action movies and trashy noir thrillers. But she's out of her element playing basic human beings. It's a shame, because she was def. one of the better looking actresses to come along in ages - I think her ego got in the way. In AA terms, she suffers from a case of being terminally unique. And it's turned off a lot of people I think.

Dumb action movies! Are you referring to Total Recall? Blasphemy!

That thing she made with Sylvester Stalone didn't help...
