In Taormina, Sicily, US actress Sharon Stone received an award for her lifetime achievement. A reason to celebrate – but she is very worried about the political mood in her home country.
Hollywood star Sharon Stone is concerned about the future of her homeland in light of the escalating US election campaign. “I am a proud American. I love my country and of course I am deeply concerned,” said the 66-year-old at the Taormina Film Festival in the holiday resort of the same name in Sicily. It is the first time that someone has based their election campaign on hatred and oppression, Stone continued.
She did not mention any names. But she may have meant former President Donald Trump, who was recently nominated as the Republican Party’s candidate in the upcoming presidential election at a party convention. He has repeatedly attracted attention in recent months with controversial statements and recently intensified his rhetoric on the subject of migration.
Sharon Stone: Happy about the award, worried about US politics
Sharon Stone has been in Sicily for a few days. On Friday evening she received an award for her life’s work in Taormina. Before her, the Cariddi d’Oro had already gone to Hollywood greats such as Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise, Sophia Loren and Nicole Kidman. Italian tabloids reported extensively on her appearance at the film festival.
Sharon Stone became world famous over 30 years ago with her role in the erotic thriller “Basic Instinct”, followed by films such as “Casino”, “Catwoman” and “The Disaster Artist”. She now also works as a painter. Stone announced in Taormina that her works of art will be exhibited in the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome in November.
