Stone won the title of Miss Crawford County in Meadville. She was a candidate for Miss Pennsylvania.[1] One of the pageant judges said she should quit school and move to New York City to become a fashion model.[1] In 1977, Stone left Meadville, moving in with an aunt in New Jersey. Within four days of her arrival in New Jersey, she was signed by Ford Modeling Agency in New York.

While living in Europe, she decided to quit modeling and become an actress. Stone was cast for a brief role in Allen's Stardust Memories (1980). She had many roles in movies in the 1980's. Being in Total Recall (1990) with Arnold Schwarzenegger helped her career. To promote the movie, she posed nude for Playboy.[2]

The movie that made her a star Basic Instinct (1992). She played a person thought to be a serial killer. In the movie's most notorious scene, her character is being questioned by the police. She crosses and uncrosses her legs, exposing her genitalia, which are not covered by underwear.[3] After Basic Instinct, she was listed by People magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.[4]

In November 1995, Stone received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 6925 Hollywood Blvd.

In 2003, she appeared in three episodes from the eighth season of The Practice. For her performances, she received an Emmy Award[5] for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.

Stone tried a return to the mainstream with roles in the movies Cold Creek Manor (2003) with Dennis Quaid and Catwoman (2004) with Halle Berry. Both movies were not well liked by either the public or critics.

While working on the movie The Quick and the Dead in 1995, Stone met Bob Wagner and they became engaged.[8]

On February 14, 1998, Stone married Phil Bronstein, executive editor of the San Francisco Examiner.[9] They adopted a son, Roan Joseph Bronstein (born on May 22, 2000) in late May or early June of 2000.[10] They divorced in 2004.[11] After her divorce she adopted another two boys, Laird Vonne Stone[12] (born on May 7, 2005) and Quinn Kelly Stone [6][13] (born in June 2006).
