Long before Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie brought a live-action Barbie to the big screen, Sharon Stone pitched a movie centered on the iconic doll. Stone recently revealed that, despite having 'the support of the head of Barbie,' her idea wasn't welcomed warmly, as she was 'laughed out' of the studio.
In an Instagram post shared by America Ferrera from the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, Stone commented:'I was laughed out [of] the studio when I came [with] the Barbie idea in the '90s [with] the support of the head of Barbie. How far we've come. Thank you ladies for your courage and endurance.'
