Stone's first real break was playing Arnold Schwarzenegger's kick-boxing, secret agent "wife" in Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi actioner Total Recall (1990). In a more conventionally sympathetic role, Stone followed up with another sizzling melodrama, Sliver (1993), which did middling business stateside but proved a solid success overseas.
She lives, fittingly enough, in a gated French chateau in Beverly Hills.
