Sharon Stone criticises Johnny Depp’s lucrative art sales
Sharon Stone has made a critical comment about Johnny Depp’s artwork in a recent interview.The Basic Instinct star, who switched her focus from acting to art during the COVID lockdown, has just opened her own exhibition in Berlin, and is due to open another in San Francisco in April.In explaining her road to success to The Guardian, she made comments referring to an art collection created by Depp, which sold for more than $3.6million within hours.The collection, titled Friends And Heroes, featured portraits of individuals who inspired the actor: Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, Al Pacino and Elizabeth Taylor.According to Business Insider, Depp sold all 780 pieces within hours of his announcement that the art would be on sale at Castle Fine Art’s 37 gallery in Birmingham, England.Stone however, didn’t seem to be quite so enamoured with the portraits, saying: “Johnny Depp is printing pictures of people, putting some paint over it and signing it, and making a fortune.”Depp followed up the original collection with some more prints in 2023, which featured other famous faces including Bob Marley, Heath Ledger and River Phoenix.Seemingly referring to Depp’s recent sale of his self-portrait, in which he donated $200 from every sale to Mental Health America, Stone shared that she had received similar requests from galleries.“I had galleries approach me and say, ‘Could you please make prints of your face?’ I think it’s my duty not to do that,” she said.

Dana Carvey apologizes for ‘SNL’ skit that made Sharon Stone ‘take her clothes off’ — and she reacts
Dana Carvey, 68, has apologized to Sharon Stone for a 1992 “Saturday Night Live” skit in which she took her clothes off.Stone, 66, was a guest on the podcast “Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade” when Carvey brought up the sketch, which occurred when Stone hosted “SNL” in the wake of her hit movie “Basic Instinct.” Carvey said Stone “was such a good sport” because “the comedy we did in 1992 with Sharon Stone, we would literally be arrested now.”The skit in question was called the “Airport Security Sketch,” in which male airport security officers, including Carvey playing an Indian security guard, had Stone remove one item of clothing at a time — to see if she was carrying anything dangerous on her person.“I want to apologize publicly for the security check sketch where I played an Indian man and we’re convincing Sharon, her character, or whatever, to take her clothes off to go through the security thing,” Carvey told Stone — as Spade added that it was “so offensive.”Carvey cited the year of the sketch, 1992, as being “from another era,” while the “Sliver” actress chimed in that it didn’t really bother her at the time.“I know the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony,” she said. “And I think that we were all committing misdemeanors [back then] because we didn’t think there was something wrong then.
