The Basic Instinct star will be the fifth actress in a row to receive the honor. Juliette Binoche won the award in 2020 while the list of past Golden Icon Award recipients includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cate Blanchett, and Glenn Close, among others. 

Following the ceremony, the festival will screen Martin Scorsese’s 1995 classic Casino, which stars Stone in the lead role. The work on the movie earned Stone a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and Academy Award nomination in the same category.

“Sharon Stone is a true icon of the seventh art,” said ZFF’s Artistic Director Christian Jungen in a statement. “She is a woman that Hitchcock would have loved. Her distinguishing qualities include an irresistible charm, a great human depth, the talent to play a whole range of roles, and the ability to captivate an audience like no other.”

Sharon Stone found success as both a movie star and television actress. Besides Basic Instinct and Casino, she had prominent roles in features like Total Recall, Sliver, and The Mighty. Stone’s most recognizable television works include the legal drama The Practice and murder mystery Mosaic. She received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress for the former one.

More recently, Stone was part of Netflix’s psychology thriller series Ratched and starred in Steven Soderbergh’s The Laundromat.

The 29-year-old actress, best known for her role in the Twilight franchise, will be heading to the annual film festival with director Benedict Andrews for the Swiss premiere of her film, Seberg, in which she portrays Jean Seberg.

“Although she could have been involved in blockbuster movies after the Twilight series, Stewart has consistently opted for artistically engaged indie films by writers such as Walter Salles, Olivier Assayas, and Ang Lee,” said Schildknecht and Spoerri. “She succeeded the difficult balancing act between mainstream and art house in an exemplary way. With her fearless portrayal of Jean Seberg she once again proves to be one of the most versatile actresses of our generation.”

The 15th annual Zurich Film Festival takes place between September 26 and October 6.
