American actress Sharon Stone will be honored with Golden Cariddi for Lifetime Achievement at the Taormina Film Festival’s closing night this month. The 66-years-old will join a prestigious list of past recipients, including Jessica Lange, Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman, Richard Gere, Colin Firth, and Isabelle Huppert.
Stone will attend the festival, which runs from 12-19 July, and participate in a conversation about how she “redefined what it meant to be a woman on screen,” according to a press release. This marks her first appearance at the festival, which hosted the Italian premiere of her iconic 1992 film “Basic Instinct.”
Stone began her film career with a cameo in Woody Allen’s “Stardust Memories” in 1980 and rose to stardom in the 1990s with notable roles in “Total Recall” alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, “The Quick and the Dead” opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, and Martin Scorsese’s “Casino,” for which she won a Golden Globe and received an Oscar nomination. Her extensive filmography also includes “The Mighty,” “The Muse,” “Catwoman,” “Basic Instinct 2,” “The Disaster Artist,” and “The Laundromat.” In 2004, she won an Emmy for her guest role on “The Practice,” and her latest film is the romantic drama “What About Love.”
The Taormina Film Fest will open with the comic horror premiere “Saint Clare,” starring Bella Thorne, and feature the Italian premiere of the disaster sequel “Twisters.”
