The Blonde Bombshell Revisits Iconic Hollywood Memories on “The Drew Barrymore Show”
The one and only actress extraordinaire, blonde bombshell Sharon Stone, stops by The Drew Barrymore Show — and she brings the nostalgia with her.
During a playful round of “Memory Bank,” Sharon flips through unforgettable moments from her incomparable film résumé. It’s classic Stone: sharp, funny, glamorous, and effortlessly iconic.
And then comes the jaw‑dropper — she reveals that her Oscar dress was literally run over by a truck.
Sharon explains that the FedEx driver accidentally backed over her gown, leaving a giant tire track up the front. She remembers calling Ellen Mirojnick, her Basic Instinct costume designer, in a full panic — only to realize she couldn’t reach her. The chaos was real.
From there, the memories keep rolling.
Drew recalls seeing Basic Instinct in a packed theater, describing the crowd as “insane… screaming… going nuts.” Sharon laughs, remembering how critics once said she’d have “the career length of a cheap Chardonnay,” to which she famously replied: “Clearly this reviewer has never been to France.”
The two then revisit a photo from the Poison Ivy premiere — a moment Drew says meant the world to her. Sharon showed up at the height of her fame, giving Drew her stamp of support. “You were the biggest deal in Hollywood,” Drew tells her. Sharon beams: “You’re my girl.”
Another memory surfaces: Sharon’s guest role on Magnum P.I. with Tom Selleck. She gushes about how kind he was, how surreal Hawaii felt to a girl from a tiny town with buggy parking at the Dairy Queen, and how she had never even been in the ocean before that job.
Then comes the iconic moment — the chair lingerie photo and the legacy of Basic Instinct. Sharon breaks down how her acting teacher Roy London told her the interrogation scene would only survive if every second was specific. On set, the men would sing and joke between takes, and Sharon finally snapped into full power mode: “All righty then… we’ll see if you sing about this.”
Drew calls the moment “empowering… unforgettable… it changed movies.”
The two end the segment by uncrossing and crossing their legs together — Sharon teaching Drew the posture, the openness, the confidence. Drew jokes she’ll be practicing it in the mirror later. Sharon smiles: “It transcended me.”
It’s a warm, funny, deeply Hollywood conversation — two women reflecting on legacy, power, and the wild ride of fame.
