Both of them. In the book "Performance" about Avedon's work,John Lahr describes the photoshoot. Avedon said "she has no interest in anyone else. She's interested in the effect she has on you. When she thinks she sees her reflection in your eyes, and I respond, she's satisfied and changes the subject." Later Stone storms off because she doesn't like the dress and refuses to come back for hours. Great book, by the way.

I agree with the user who said that "it's better to admire from afar". Because truly, I regret the experiences I've had, for the most part, when it comes to celebrities.
Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize! -

I've been around a lot of celebrities in my life and she was probably the worst. I work in the guest services industry and she chewed me out for not addressing her as "Dr." which was part of her alias. I mean come on lady, you and your fake Mensa membership wish!

wordwrights2: "I recently met Sharon Stone and I wish I could say it was a nice experience but it really wasn't. I just wanted to compliment her and she just gave me a chilly stare, shook her head and walked away. Now I understand celebs have their need for privacy but I met her after an event in a public area. Maybe it was a bad day or what not, we're all entitled to that. But would a smile or a kind word have been that difficult? Well, good luck to Miss Stone. I noticed that she signs for fans and poses for photos when there are cameras or film crews around. I guess this fan doesn't count for anything so it doesn't matter that I'm not a fan any longer."
I think it's a waste to be kind to celebrities. Kindness should be given to people who don't feel
entitled
to kindness from total strangers.Calling disagreement hate is childish.

I once was walking down Sunset Blvd. on vacation. A limo pulled up in front of a shop. A guy jumped out, and before he went in the shop, he stopped, smiled a big smile, and waved at me. I thought, "Huh?" and kind of waved back. Then I realized it was Liam Neeson.
I must add that I'm an ordinary middle-aged woman. So it's not like he saw a hot babe - there was no one behind me! Liam Neeson is apparently just a nice guy. A smile instead of a scowl took the same time and left me thinking fondly of him. -

I am a college student who does cold calling in a call center as a part time job in California. The calls come up on a computer screen and we talk to the person. A co worker of mine got Sharon Stone and said "hello, is this Sharon" and Sharon said "hi is this Kathy, Amber, Katy, Missy" and the co worker said "what are you doing?" and Sharon replied "I am asking for names like you are" and the co worker called her a bitch and hung up on her and keeps her in the call backs. I thought it was amusing. I think she is a total witch

We've all had bad experiences with cold callers. Some are decent, but a lot are insufferable.
I assume she immediately recognised the call was cold, and effectively said ''Cut the crap. What are you trying to sell me?''
I know because I've done cold calling too.
And for the record, it is never acceptable to use profanity against a call recipient, no matter how harsh their words are. I'm amazed your friend wasn't fired on a spot.
