And More...WHITE HOTSharon Stone walks into the room, and she owns it. Fierce, fabulous, and at 56 still flawlessly beautiful (sans the knife, thank you very much), the movie star who fired up our imaginations 22 years ago in the groundbreaking film Basic Instinct shows no signs of slowing down. Professionally, she’s on a roll with the appealing romantic comedy Fading Gigolo coming out soon, and her new TV series, Agent X, on the horizon (she plays the vice president of the United States).
