It's hard to imagine that no hairdresser, makeup artist or stylist would want to take care of Sharon Stone before a red carpet.
However, the actress had to prepare on her own to attend her first Oscars party in 1992. Indeed, she was hardly known in the film industry at the time;
Basic Instinct
, the film that would make her a Hollywood superstar, had just hit theaters.
In an episode of Bruce Tozzi's
Table for Two
podcast broadcast on Tuesday, March 7, Sharon Stone spoke about the award ceremony and revealed some anecdotes about her "homemade" look that evening.
"Nobody wanted to lend me a dress," she says, insisting that Paul Verhoeven's erotic thriller had been released in theaters only ten days before the ceremony, and that she was therefore still unknown.
“It was unbelievable because I had no money to buy anything.
I thought, "Oh my god! All these women are wearing $40,000 or $50,000 dresses...and I went and bought a Betsey Johnson polyester jumpsuit, because that was the best I could do," she continued. - she under the bursts of laughter of her interlocutor. The actress reveals that even her beauty treatment had been carried out by her own care: "I did my hair and makeup myself. I said to myself: "Wow, this is awful.
How will I do ?"",

Fortunately, during this event, she first shone with her talent.
“I was sitting right behind Anthony Hopkins.
When I passed, he joined his hands and put them on his head like a champ and lifted them towards me when I passed him.
I said to myself: "Oh my god, he saw my film!", She remembers with emotion.
