Why has her career turned to *beep*

I'm not the biggest fan of her skills, either - but even if a part is well-written, you still need to do a good job with it. She did.
I agree she has limited range, but let's not take away from her genuine achievement. Stick Pamela Anderson in a role like that - to use a comparable sex symbol of the period - and you would not get the same effect. Stone CAN act; the fact that she hasn't often had the material or the opportunities to show it is a separate topic.

exactly she never got the respect she deserved as an actress. she was a really good actress. gave a great performance in basic instinct and casino. was always good in every movie she was in.
why her career ended was because she got old. and she relied on her looks so much that when she lost them the casting directors and directors didn't wan to to cast her in movies bc they had this vision of her as being a beauty queen.
the same thing happened to angelina jolie who can't get a big role in a big movie if her life depended on it.

There aren't many Meryl Streeps out there. The older actresses that are still in the game are few and far between. she had her time and was great in many movies that she was in. Let's remember her for that.

She isn't alone in her assertion that actresses have been given "flimsy and sexist" roles; many, in fact, most Hollywood actresses have said the same thing. That, and the need to look young have limited the opportunities for actresses. Men don't have to worry about agi1c84ng onscreen and have a lot more quality roles written for them (amid some junk), which is why they don't "whine" as much.

It's because, although she's B. E. A. Utiful, she's just an average actress. Plus, she's 57 years old. Her time has passed. She was in some very good movies though, and nominated for Casino, so if I were her, I wouldn't complain. And who mentioned "she's only gotten sexist roles"? Hell, they put smokin' hot Asians in Viagra commercials. I certainly don't want to see Rosie O'Donnell or Whoopie Goldberg in a sexist role or Viagra commercial, so quit fuqcing making excuses.

exactly that's the age i was just thinking about today when thinking about why angelina jole in never in any big movies anymore. she got old. notice how jolie hasn't been in a big movie in 5 years which is exactly when she turned 40 except that war movie with brad pitt.

She just never lucked into a big role after Casino. If she had appeared in more hits, she'd probably be able to build on those with better roles. Flops like Sphere, Gloria, Catwoman, and Basic Instinct 2 just destroyed any hope of getting roles. I think it's been over 20 years since she appeared in an even modestly successful film!
Look at an actress relatively close in age to her- Famke Janssen- who never reached the same household name status, yet has done much better career wise in the last 20 years. It's all because she lucked out with a couple hit movies that have sustained her career into her 50s. -

Because all her movie roles after "Casino" ranged from forgettable to terrible. She made a long series of really bad script choices. She had won respect as an serious actress with "Casino" but failed to capitalize as that.
The final nail in the coffin was Basic Instinct 2;a good example of a sequel that nobody wanted,and her attempts to relaunch her career.Sadly,though, trying to revive her most famous role was a total failure.

probably make a fortune for doing it. There is a point where aging sex symbols are wise to cash out with one final mega paycheck, if they can. Because the same amount of money is unlikely to come their way again.

Her best movie role was Above The Law with Steven Seagal where she had zero lines. I can picture Seagal telling her to just look pretty and keep your mouth shut or I'll break your face. Anytime she open her mouth it isn't a good thing. She's really bad. Just watch Scissors. She's easy on the eyes though, I'll give her that.
