Biography:

Sharon Stone was born and raised in Meadville a small town in Pennsylvania. Her strict father was a factory worker and her mother was a homemaker. She was the second of four children. At the age of 15 she studied in Saegertown High School, Pennsylvania and, at that same age entered Edinboro State University of Pennsylvania and graduated with a degree in creative writing and fine arts. She was a very smart girl, became a bookworm and once was told that a suitable job for her and her brains was to become a lawyer. However her first love was still the black-and-white movies, especially those featuring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. So the 17 year old Sharon got herself into the Miss Pennsylvania beauty contest and won it. From working part time as a McDonald’s counter girl she worked her way up to become a successful Ford model both in TV commercials and print ads. Finally in 1980, she made her debut in Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories 1980 as pretty girl on train. Her first speaking part though was in Wes Craven’s horror movie, Deadly Blessing 1981. She struggled through many parts in B-movies, notably in King Solomon’s Mines 1985 and Action Jackson 1988. She was also married in 1984 to Michael Greenburg, the producer of MacGyver 1985 but they divorced two years later. She finally received her big break with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Total Recall 1990 and also posed nude for Playboy a daring move for a 32 year old actress. But it worked; she accepted a breakthrough role as a sociopath novelist Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct 1992 with Michael Douglas. Her interrogation scene has become a classic in film history and her performance captivated everyone, from MTV viewers who honored her with Most Desirable Female and Best Female Performance Awards to a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. After she got famous, she didn’t want to be typecast, so she played a victim in Sliver 1993 and in Intersection 1994 she was the aloof estranged wife of Richard Gere. These movies didn’t work so she got herself again into more aggressive roles, such as The Specialist 1994 with Sylvester Stallone and The Quick and the Dead 1995 with Gene Hackman. But it wasn’t until she played a beautiful but drug crazy wife of Robert De Niro in Casino 1995 that she got far more than just fame and fortune she also received the acknowledgment of the movie industry for her acting ability. She received her first Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. She did a couple of films after wards teaming up with Isabelle Adjani in Diabolique 1996 and as a woman waiting for her death penalty in Last Dance (1996). In 1998 she married a newspaper editor Phil Bronstein. She also received her third Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress that year for The Mighty (1998), a film that her company. Chaos also co-executive produced. The next year she entered her first comedic role in The Muse 1999 which starred and was directed by Albert Brooks and gave her another Golden Globe nomination. Sharon Stone a diva who thoroughly enjoys her hard-won stardom is now a mother of an adorable baby boy Roan Joseph.

Personal

Sania Mirza (born November 15, 1986, Mumbai, India resides in Hyderabad, India) is a professional female tennis player from India. Coached by her father, Imran Mirza, Sania began playing tennis at age six. She turned professional in 2003. She became the first and only Indian woman to reach the 4th round of a Grand Slam tournament at the 2005 US Open. She is now the highest ranked female tennis player ever from India (She had a rank of 42, her highest ever, by end of August 2005). Her original goal was to enter the top 100 by the end of 2005, but she revised it to entering the top 50 after good performances at the beginning of the year. (She may have also been helped by the fact that she has very few points to defend for this year and thus, it has been an upward journey in rankings.) As of July 2005, she ranked 5th among Asian women. Her year-end rank in 2004 was 206. My mother took me to a coach, who initially refused to coach me because I was too small,” said Mirza. “After a month, he called my parents to say he’d never seen a player that good at such a young age.” [From WTATour interview] She is 5 ft. 7 in. tall. She has earned a large fan following in India as she is one of the very few young women from the country to have done well at the highest levels of sport. In 2005, she was awarded the Arjuna award in tennis for the year 2004. She has defeated two top 10 players, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Nadia Petrova. She is a devout Muslim, who began playing tennis at the age of six. Sania won the Wimbledon Championships Girls’ Doubles title in 2003, teaming up with Alisa Kleybanova of Russia. She got a wild card entry to the 2005 Australian Open and created history by becoming the first Indian woman to enter the third round of a Grand Slam tournament. She lost in the 3rd round to eventual champion Serena Williams. On February 12, 2005, she became the first Indian woman to win a WTA singles title defeating Alyona Bondarenko of Ukraine in the Hyderabad Open Finals. In her Wimbledon Championships debut, Mirza won her first match at the 2005 event, defeating Akiko Morigami of Japan in three very tight sets, 6-3, 3-6, 8-6. However, she was narrowly defeated in the second round by Svetlana Kuznetsova (a player whom she had defeated earlier in the year for her first top ten victory) 4-6, 7-6, 4-6.

Biography:

 While her teen contemporaries were struggling with mundane things like school and dating, Southern California native Cameron Diaz was employed by the Elite Modeling agency appearing on magazine covers and in campaigns for clients like Calvin Klein and Levi’s. And just like many women in the modeling industry, she harbored dreams of an acting career. Diaz, of Cuban and Native American descent, burst onto the big screen as the torch-singing moll in 1994’s Jim Carrey blockbuster “The Mask”. Perhaps ironically, she had set her sights lower, auditioning for the supporting part of a reporter (played in the film by Amy Yasbeck), but after some dozen callbacks, she was hired. In spite of, or perhaps because of, her lack of formal training, the now blonde Diaz managed to hold her own against the often over-the-top antics of co-star Carrey. Roger Ebert writing in his review in the Chicago Sun-Times (July 29, 1994) called her “a true discovery in the film, a genuine sex bomb with a gorgeous face, a wonderful smile, and a gift of comic timing,” and correctly predicted that while it was her first film role, it would surely not be her last. Riding the buzz on her performance in “The Mask”, Diaz was courted by virtually every producer scrambling to cast “this year’s blonde”. In a series of shrewd moves, she opted to take roles in low-budget films which stretched her acting abilities. Diaz joined a cast of other rising players (including Courtney B. Vance, Ron Eldard and Annabeth Gish) as liberal college students who invite right-wingers to “The Last Supper” (1995) before tackling the role of a confused bride-to-be who finds herself attracted to her brother-in-law in “Feeling Minnesota” (1996). Willing to portray less than likable women, she deftly essayed a former hooker now a Wall Street shark in Edward Burns’ comedy “She’s the One” (also 1996). Although she stumbled as a spoiled rich girl who conspires with her kidnapper in Danny Boyle’s uneven “A Life Less Ordinary” (1997), that same year found her playing Dermot Mulroney’s fiancée who encounters a rival in Julia Roberts in the fluffy but enjoyable “My Best Friend’s Wedding”. While most of the attention originally focused on Roberts’ return to lighter fare, the spotlight shifted to Diaz’s scene-stealing turn as the seemingly ditsy bride-to-be. Having proven her comedic abilities as a supporting player, Diaz graduated to star in one of 1998’s highest grossing (in both senses of the word) feature, the Farrelly brothers’ “There’s Something About Mary”. As Ben Stiller’s dream girl, she is eternally optimistic and a paragon of beauty. Yet she is also a fine comedic performer, especially in bizarre or outrageous situations (like the now famous “hair gel” scene), in part, as Charles Taylor pointed out in the July 18, 1998 issue of Salon, because of “the crazed gleam that sneaks into her eyes, her big toothy smile and the manic trill you can sometimes hear in her voice.” In a surprise move, the New York Film Critics voted her their Best Actress award. Although virtually wasted in a cameo as a TV reporter in Terry Gilliam’s attempt to capture the oddball universe of Hunter S. Thompson in “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, Diaz delved into the dark side, downplaying her usually bubbly screen persona to play yet another bride-to-be in Peter Berg’s black comedy “Very Bad Things” (both 1998). Here, she essayed a manipulative, cunning almost psychopathic woman determined at all costs to march down the aisle. (The writer-director envisioned the character as “a young Martha Stewart with a bad case of rabies.”) Alternately seductive and bullying to her intended (Jon Favreau), she crafted a comic creation that bordered on the grotesque, yet through her skills managed to make her understandable. In 1999’s inventive, if not wholly satisfying “Being John Malkovich”, Diaz adopted a dowdy look and mane of frizzy brown hair as Lotte Schwartz, the pet store employee wife of a puppeteer (John Cusack). When her husband discovers a mysterious portal that allows anyone to spend 15 minutes inside the mind and body of the titular actor, she has an epiphany, experiencing a connection to her husband’s brittle co-worker (Catherine Keener) that transcends sex and spins off into a complicated and surprising adventure. Once again, Diaz built a funny persona out of seemingly contradictory parts and proved her versatility. Adopting a more serious pose, she rounded out the millennium as the ambitious new owner of a struggling football franchise in Oliver Stone’s “Any Given Sunday”, proving with this hard-line role that her talents had more facets yet to be tapped. She continued to stretch, successfully undertaking challenging roles in the female ensemble of “Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her” (screened at Sundance in 2000; aired on Showtime in 2001) and in the drama “Invisible Circus” (2000). Teaming with Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as “Charlie’s Angels” (also 2000) in the unqualified hit offered her an opportunity to show her lighter side with a disarming turn, as well as convincingly kick butt as a pseudo action hero. And she won a legion of youthful admirers with his turn as Princess Fiona in the charming CGI tale “Shrek” (2001) and its sequel “Shrek 2″ (2004). A supporting role in “Vanilla Sky” (2001) as the woman whose desire for more than a casual physical relationship with Tom Cruise’s playboy drives her to distraction earned Diaz even more critical respect. Likened to Carole Lombard by director Martin Scorsese, Diaz showed something of the uncompromising spirit and sexiness that Lombard had been, and that she herself was increasingly becoming, known for. Later that year the actress played a desirable woman who falls in love with a man she can’t win over in the romantic comedy “The Sweetest Thing.” Although the light-as-a-feather film was not entirely satisfying, certain scenes nearly bubbled over with Diaz’s inherently loopy charm, infectious grin and freewheeling approach. It also further solidified her on-screen status as the girl-next-door who doesn’t mind the occasional raunchy joke. Diaz shifted gears entirely for the next release, Scorsese’s long-awaited drama “Gangs of New York” (2002), in which she played the comely street pickpocket Jenny Everdeane, the love interest of Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio). The film was certainly admirable—and singled out for many accolades—but also frequently missed the mark; Diaz’s performance was one of the film’s more satisfying elements, however. The following year, Diaz returned to form as the ass-kicking girl-next-door when she returned for the blockbuster comedy hit sequel “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” (2003). The sequel reunited Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu—now famously linked as best friends, sort of a mod chick Rat Pack—as the indomitable crime-fighting heroines. In between film roles, the actress (who made news for her romance with the younger pop star Justin Timberlake) starred in “Trippin’” (2005), a 10-episode travel series for MTV in which the actress and fellow celebrities visited exotic locales and enjoyed unusual activities, riding elephants in Nepal, sand-boarding in Chile and testing the hot springs in Yellowstone. Diaz returned center stage in director Curtis Hanson’s dramedy “In Her Shoes” (2005), which cast the actress and co-star Toni Collette as tight-knit but polar opposite sisters—Diaz played the reckless, sexy party girl, Collette the responsible attorney with low self-esteem—who have a calamitous falling out and must slowly come to learn that they share more than the same size feet. In “The Holiday” (2006), Diaz was a disgruntled woman living in Los Angeles who realizes that the man she has been living with is having an affair. She meets an English woman (Kate Winslet) in love with a man in love with another woman online and the two impulsively decide to switch houses for the Christmas holiday, only to find the one thing neither of them want: romance. Meanwhile, Diaz voiced Princess Fiona for a third go-round in “Shrek the Third” (2007).
