Superstitious Stone snubs horror role
16/05/2005 - 08:33:01Screen siren Sharon Stone has shunned a lead role in an upcoming thriller - because she would have had to portray a woman haunted by the death of her adoptive son.
The sexy 47-year-old, who adopted a second baby boy earlier this month, politely declined the offer of the role in Possession - a screen adaptation of Peter James' hit novel of the same name - because she didn't want to tempt fate.
James says: "Sharon was concerned. She felt superstitious about playing such a character and decided playing it was too close to home. We are now talking to Kim Basinger."
