The protagonist of Low Instincts revealed the name of the star that she always admired and with whom she dreamed of working since she began her career as an actress.
Sharon Stone is one of the most important actresses in American cinema and her long career in the industry, full of international recognition, is proof of this.
Although she has played a long list of characters since she made her first on-screen appearance, she will always be remembered for her role as Catherine Tramell in the 1992 Paul Verhoeven-directed film Bass Instinct, in which she co-starred with Michael.
But what not everyone knows about Sharon Stone is that her greatest desire in the world of acting from a very young age was to work with her platonic love, actor Robert De Niro.
As she revealed in an interview with the program Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. When in her first acting class the teacher asked them what her dream was, she replied: “To share a scene, just one, with Robert De Niro. I don't know. Sitting on the other side of the same table, that's enough for me."
After the success of Bass Instincts, Sharon Stone was typecast by Hollywood as a "femme fatale", and all the roles she was offered had that characteristic, which is why she began to get frustrated, despite being the second highest-paid actress, after Demi Moore.
In 1994, Martin Scorsese called her to play Ginger McKenna Rothstein in his movie Casino. There she had to share the bill with Joe Pesci and nothing more and nothing less than her great platonic love, Robert De Niro.
There the artist had to play a prostitute who falls in love with the manager of a Las Vegas casino and cheats on him with her right hand, at the same time that she begins a life of addictions.
The nerves of working with him made her doubt that she could do it: “Sitting in my room I reflected. I have five months of filming left. It is the opportunity of my life. Do not fear them and trust your intuition.
“I was so madly in love with him as an actress, he could have hit me over the head with a hammer and I would have been like, 'Oh yeah! But it was pretty fabulous,'" Sharon Stone recounted.
Furthermore, she added that Robert De Niro was the best kisser of all the actors she had romantic scenes with. “The kiss was a peak moment for me. There was a lot put in there,” she confessed.
