Stallone is Ray Quick, a former CIA agent turned freelance hit man. Starring: Sylvester Stallone, James Woods, Rod Steiger, Eric Roberts. But Stone, with her housewife-y haircut, offers some welcome distraction to such Seagal-style mayhem as smashing cars through walls or killing people with his bare hands.ĭirector: Luis Llosa. Foxy Brown herself, Grier, gets the meatier female role as the star’s law enforcer partner. She was by Seagal’s side as his devoted spouse when the 6-foot- 4 aikido master made his film debut in this plot-stuffed thriller about a Chicago cop entangled in a drug smuggling ring and CIA dirty doings. Hollywood in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s was obsessed with tough guys, and Stone was a go-to actress to help humanize macho action heroes. Starring: Steven Seagal, Pam Grier, Henry Silva.

Our photo gallery lists them from worst to best, including “Total Recall,” “Casino” and “Basic Instinct.” Let’s focus more on the positive than the negative as we rank 10 of her greatest films. That role would bring her the only Oscar nomination in her career so far. But she compensated when she poured her soul into Ginger McKenna, a booze-addicted, me-first ex-hooker married to Robert De Niro’s sullenly brutish Vegas honcho in “Casino” from Martin Scorsese. It is hard not to acknowledge that the quality of her films has been up and down, resulting in nine Razzie nominations, including three wins. Her signature performance remains 1992’s “Basic Instinct,” as a bisexual psychopath with likely murderous intent. She would come to define a ‘90s brand of sex symbol, one who was more in control of her fate in films and not afraid to enjoy sex as well as dabbling in lethal behavior. As Stone has said, “I gave it my best shot to melt that sucker.” Many first spied Sharon Stone when she made her wordless big-screen debut in 1980, billed as Pretty Girl on the Train, in Woody Allen’s “Stardust Memories.” She does leave an impression while blowing a kiss from behind a train window.
