In 1992, Sharon Stone stole the show from Michael Douglas at the Cannes Film Festival. Three decades later, the actor is about to receive the palme d'honneur.

Sharon Stone plays the sensual Catherine Tramell in the film Basic Instinct. The role will propel the actress to the front of the stage, and will erect her to the rank of international sex symbol. In March, she confided on the Table for Two podcast that she had lost custody of her son in 2004, because of his performance in the movie.
