Actor Sharon Stone gave a blunt response to Hollywood’s harsh treatment of women. An interview from Everything Zoomer published in late May 2021 went viral for featuring Stone’s comment on Meryl Streep. The 63-year-old Casino star feels she is a ‘much better’ screen
villain than the three-time Oscar-winner, reports CNN.
In an interview with Zoome regarding her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, the actress was asked a question about ‘finally’ getting to work with Streep, whom she starred alongside in the 2019 film The Laundromat. Stone stopped the interviewer, Johanna Schneller, partway through her question, replying, “I like the way you phrase that, that I finally got to work with Meryl Streep,” she says. “You didn’t say, ‘Meryl finally got to work with Sharon Stone.’ Or we finally got to work
together.” “Because that’s the way her life went, she got built up to be, ‘Everyone wants to work with Meryl,” Stone continued. “I wonder if she likes that?” The star questioned why women are so often pitted against each other in Hollywood. “The business was set up that we should all envy and admire Meryl because only Meryl got to be the good one. And everyone should compete against Meryl. I think Meryl is an amazingly wonderful woman and actress. But in my opinion, quite frankly, there are other actresses equally as talented as Meryl Streep. The whole Meryl Streep iconography is part of what Hollywood does to women.”
