  1. After completing the movie BASIC INSTINCT 1, which became a BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE because of the iconic “open a leg” scene during a lie detector test, Sharon Stone promoted the film by giving interviews in several countries. On National Television in the country of Greece, Europe, she suddenly turned to the camera, away from the journalist who was interviewing her, and shouted into the camera: “I have a gun. And if you ever come 2 the USA I will blow your head off!”. Other “sex symbols” have also made such irrational statements, notably Madonna, who, while facing the cameras, said:” I will blow up the White House”. Although acts by both Sharon Stone and Madonna are criminal in the USA, neither actress was arrested, as in many cases when celebrities break the law, because they had clout, specifically: “A large public outcry.” End.
