Sharon Stone Says Fame After ‘Basic Instinct’ Got So Crazy That L.A. Police Put Her in Lockdown During O.J. Simpson Car Chase: ‘We Don’t Know How Dangerous’ He Is
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sharon Stone says the fame that surrounded her in the mid-1990s after “Basic Instinct” exploded her career was so wild that she was forced into hiding by the police during the infamous 1994 O.J. Simpson car chase. A new InStyle interview with the Oscar-nominated actor begins with the startling revelation that the Los Angeles Police Department “dispatched a squad to find Stone at home and tell her she had 10 minutes to pack a suitcase” amid the car chase because “she was being moved to a hotel for her own protection.” “He’s dangerous,” Stone remembered an LAPD officer telling her at the time.
