                  SHARON STONE: THE LAST INTERVIEW
                       (for a while, anyway)

She's hot, she's sexy, and she's tired - of talking to the press, 
that is. In Sharon Stone's last interview ("for a while, anyway"),
Hollywood's most talked-about star continues to fulfill her role as
the most quotable woman in the world.
