| 0:00.0 | Okay, now we're doing this. You ready? |
| 0:07.2 | Hello, Louis Thruh here. |
| 0:09.8 | Welcome back to my Spotify podcast called |
| 0:13.0 | Drumroll, please, the Louis Theru podcast. In this episode, in this episode I'm speaking to Sharon Stone, American actor, painter and icon of 90s Hollywood. |
| 0:32.8 | She made her film debut as an extra in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories in 1980, |
| 0:37.8 | but had her breakthrough role in Paul Verhoven's sci-fi action film Total Recall in 1990. |
| 0:45.1 | She then rose to even further international recognition when she played Catherine Tremel in another Verhoven film, |
| 0:51.5 | A Basic Instinct in 1992, which I watched when I was living in San Jose |

| 1:41.3 | if I can make a small pun. But nevertheless, that became a weirdly over-the-top |
| 1:48.1 | sensation. And along with that, Sharon's stock shot up stratosphericly. She was huge. She was on |
| 1:57.1 | all the magazine covers. Everyone was talking about her saying how amazing she was. |
| 2:03.8 | And then got a role in Martin Scorsese's Casino, which is a brilliant film, also starring |
| 2:09.3 | Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro, and got some of her best reviews as well as a Golden Globe |
