The actress was a spokeswoman for a disease research foundation
Sharon Stone64, he revealed at a conference during the Red Sea Film Festivalin Saudi Arabia, that its performance in the fight against AIDS influenced his career. Known for roles in Wild instinct (1992) and Casino (1995), became a spokeswoman for amfar, a foundation for disease research. The information comes from the website Deadline🇧🇷
The actress’s relationship with the institution began after he was invited to fill in Elizabeth Taylordied 2011, as presenter for the Hon Cannes Film Festivalin 1995. He believed he was no match for his fellow pro.
Stone’s publicist was against the offer, saying accepting the invitation would “destroy” the actress’ career. “At the time we couldn’t talk about AIDS”, the artist pointed out. However, he believed so much in the lawsuit that he could not deny the request.
This, however, cost her her job in Hollywood – she had gone eight years without finding a job. “It destroyed my career. (…) I was called to the offices and told that if I said the word ‘condom’ I would lose the funds. I was threatened, my life was threatened, and the more it happened, the more I felt like I had to endure, that if it was causing this reaction, it must be something very important.”
The actress’s career with the amfAR foundation lasted more than 25 years: she stopped funding the project only when advertising for drugs against the disease began to appear on American television. “I had no idea of the resistance, cruelty, hatred and oppression we would face,” she said.
