Sense and Sensibility review – blue-chip cast decorates Emma Thompson’s pleasurable Austen adaptation

Thirty years later, this richly enjoyable film is back with its quality lineup including Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant alongside Thompson herself Emma Thompson won a screenplay Oscar for this buoyant, vibrant, richly enjoyable adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel. Released in 1995, it was directed by Ang Lee and is a movie with the pleasures of a golden age studio picture of the kind made by William Wyler. It was the second half of Thompson’s Oscar double – she won her first one in 1993 for acting in Howards End – and she is still the only person in Academy Award history to win for acting and writing.

Sharon Stone confessed that she failed nine children due to a miscarriage

Sharon Stone has always been the standard of beauty and self-confidence on the screen, but few people know that this strong woman suffered nine miscarriages.

Women's health and wellness based on a male ideology have become ineffective at best, ignorant and oppressive," wrote Stone, who became the mother of three adopted boys: Quinn Kelly, Laird Vonne, and Ron Joseph. Perhaps the frank message of the star will make society think about this controversial issue. But thanks to Sharon's story, many women will understand that they are not alone in their grief. Sharon Stone's recently released memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, is full of shocking revelations.

He thought that it would be better for her and did not consider it necessary to consult with Sharon herself. Stone also admitted that she had an abortion at 18. In addition, she had to cross the border and go to Ohio, where it was easier to undergo the procedure. The star said that this was her first serious relationship, and she and her boyfriend decided to go to the clinic together. And after that, they kept everything a secret for many years.
