Sharon Stone Reveals Why She Was 'Furious' With 'Casino' Co-Star Robert De Niro
Sharon Stone has worked with several iconic actors over the years, and she recently looked back on filming Casino with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci.
"Joey really, really fought for me to be seen and get the job. So I have a serious loyalty to Joey because he's always backed me," Stone, 67, told Business Insider about Pesci, 82. "It was always Joey and Jimmy Caan. They backed me since I was 19."
When it came to working with De Niro, 81, Stone said that she "always wanted to work with" him. However, the opportunity didn't present itself until the 1995 film.
"I had auditioned with him many times before Casino. It was my dream to work with De Niro and hold my own," she said.
Stone was eventually cast as the glamorous and self-involved Ginger McKenna in the Martin Scorsese-directed film, in which her character caught the eye of DeNiro's Sam 'Ace' Rothstein.

It turns out that Stone had the opportunity to prove herself as an actress while filming one scene with De Niro. "There's a scene in the movie where we're sitting across a table arguing, and he says to me, 'You're a good actress, you know that?'" she recalled. "And I remember in that scene when he said it, how furious it made me because it was my dream to do it, and then he challenged me at the table."
"I remember thinking, 'Oh, buddy. Not today, pal,'" Stone recalled. "He knew every button to go for with me because he is the greatest observational actor. He can crawl under your skin and get in there."
Stone certainly proved that she's a capable actor in the role, and she even earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination at the 1996 Academy Awards.

Halle Berry's ex David Justice trashed over ‘sexist' remarks about her not cooking, cleaning during marriage
Halle Berry's fans aren't happy. The Oscar-winning actress' ex-husband, David Justice, is facing backlash after he said that his and Berry's marriage didn't work out because she wasn't 'maternal' and didn't help enough around the house. The former MLB star, 59, opened up about his and Berry's 1997 divorce during Thursday's episode of Matt Barnes' 'All the Smoke' podcast. 10 David Justice and Halle Berry attend the 25th Annual NAACP Image Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on January 16, 1993.

All The Smoke/YouTube 'Because I was young and I had only, honestly, been in one relationship before her, my knowledge and my understanding, my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast,' Justice began. 'So, I'm looking at my mom, and I'm a Midwest guy,' he continued. 'So, in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean. Then I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?'' 'At that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly, and then we start having issues,' the three-time MLB All-Star added. 'I'll say this, we never had any issues about any women, other men.' 10 David Justice during an episode of Matt Barnes' 'All the Smoke' podcast released Thursday, Aug. 7.
