Cowardly Stone

Basic Instinct star, Sharon Stone is reportedly in talks about starring as one of Noel Coward's most stylish heroines in a silver screen version of Easy Virtue.The recently-wed Hollywood beauty has been sent a copy of Coward's play about the hypocrisy of the English middle classes and a spokesman for her manager has apparently confirmed she is in "the early stages of discussions".Another Stone project rumoured to be in the pipeline would see Stone follow the current Hollywood superstar trend of taking to the stage in London's West End - she is apparently being eyed up for the part of Larita which would see her playing a vivacious older woman who marries a toyboy 10 years her junior.
