| ~ Miss Sharon Stone |
Miss Sharon Stone (Miss Crystal in the Latin American Spanish version) is the secondary antagonist of the 1994 film adaptation of The Flintstones.
She is the ex-girlfriend of Cliff Vandercave and the secretary of Fred Flintstone.
She was portrayed by Halle Berry, who played Catwoman in the 2004 film of the same name and Cappy in Robots.
In The Film[]
When we first see Miss Sharon Stone, her boss/lover, Cliff Vandercave, is speaking with her about their plan to embezzle millions of dollars from Slate & Co. by investing in a faulty construction device and escaping with the money. Cliff comments that all he needs is someone to frame for the scam.
After Cliff creates an exam for the quarry workers to take to determine who'd be promoted as an executive at Slate & Co. (and unknowingly become the scapegoat for Cliff and Miss Stone's plan), Miss Stone informs a stunned Cliff that the highest test scorer was Fred Flintstone, whose dimwitted personality makes Cliff believe that he cheated. However, Miss Stone points out that Fred's low intelligence would make him perfect for their plan, as he would never suspect anything.
Miss Stone introduces herself to Fred in a very intimate way.
After Fred is promoted, Cliff has Miss Stone appointed as his secretary, knowing that her beauty and seductive personality will allow her to get Fred to do whatever she wants. Sure enough, Fred is awestruck the moment he lays eyes on Miss Stone, unable to look away or even blink as his jaw drops at the first sight of her. Miss Stone asks the beguiled Fred if he "wants" her, and before Fred can answer, his tie shoots up (meant to signify an erection), amusing both Cliff and Miss Stone. After Cliff leaves them alone, Miss Stone wastes no time in seducing the already enthralled Fred, lifting her leg onto his lap and assuring him that he can use her "however [he] sees fit." Miss Stone slowly exits his office after offering him coffee, as Fred continues to stare at her gorgeous body in awe.
While Miss Stone wishes to have Fred sign the documents ordering the fake machine, and thus incriminating him in the embezzlement, right away, Cliff decides that they must first make sure Fred would do whatever they ask of him. He does this by ordering Fred to fire his best friend, Barney.
After Fred had been signing stacks of the documents for a few weeks, he finally asks Miss Stone what the forms are. Playfully flirting with him, she says they are simply forms that would pay the contractors. Not personally trusting contractors, Fred tells her that he will read the forms before signing them. Panicking, Miss Stone lunges onto his desk to prevent him from reading them, and begins aggressively seducing him to throw him off. Making herself comfortable on Fred's desk, Miss Stone seductively tells him he should sign the forms without reading them. Once again mesmerized by her beauty, Fred very easily gives into temptation and agrees to do what his beautiful secretary asks of him without hesitation, prompting Miss Stone to begin sensually fondling him, much to his evident pleasure. However, unbeknownst to both of them, Fred's wife, Wilma, enters the room and witnesses her husband's indiscretion. Fred's dictabird alerts Fred of his furious wife's presence, leading to a panicked Fred stopping the exchange before anything happens. An embarrassed Fred introduces Miss Stone to his wife and daughter, acting as though nothing had been going on, but only makes matters worse by forgetting both his wife and daughter's names, and then even worse by being caught by Wilma lustfully staring at Miss Stone's butt as she slowly walks out of the room.
Miss Stone and Fred engage in foreplay, unaware that Fred's wife is in the room.
A few days later, Fred begins voicing his doubts about the new device to Miss Stone, who feigns ignorance about all of it. Feeling guilty for nearly ruining his marriage, she apologizes to Fred for getting him caught by his wife when they were fooling around. Fred assures her that he and Wilma are fine, and then tells her the story of how they met, causing Miss Stone to sympathize for him and have second thoughts about the plan, as it would undoubtedly ruin Fred's life by sending him to prison. She lets Cliff know about her concerns and suggests that they call off the plan. Cliff angrily tells her to stick to her strengths, suggesting that he only believes her to be good for her beauty.
When the scheme becomes public knowledge, Fred angrily confronts Cliff and tells him that he knows what he did, but Cliff comments that it is too late, as Fred had signed all of the incriminating forms and had even spent company money from it. Fred asks Miss Stone to back him up, but fearing Cliff, she suggests to Fred that he run away. Fred becomes a fugitive as a result.
Miss Stone is arrested, but not before saying goodbye to Fred.
Before they are about to flee the country, Miss Stone learns that Cliff had planned to betray her and leave her behind. Because of this, she assists Fred in capturing Cliff and handing over evidence to the police. While trying to escape, Cliff becomes buried in a new substance (Concrete). Fred's name is cleared, and Miss Stone is arrested as an accomplice. Before she is taken away by the police, Fred assures her that he will let the police know that she helped him, believing it will lead to a lighter sentence. She then comments about how bad she has been, but that she "was very, VERY good at it". She then winks at Fred, and shoots him an alluring gaze as he can only longingly stare at her gorgeous body one last time as the police take her away.
Personality[]
At the beginning of the film, Miss Stone is arguably just as sinister as Cliff, being more than willing to frame an innocent man for their crimes. She also clearly has no problem using her beauty and sensuality to get what she wants, evidenced by the many times she seduces Fred throughout the film (it even being implied that she was about to sleep with him at one point just to prevent him from reading incriminating documents, before getting caught by his wife).
Miss Stone seems to have a disregard for who may get hurt as a result of her actions, as she constantly seduces Fred despite that fact that she knows he is married. She also plays with his desires by making him think she is sexually attracted to him while he is clearly sexually attracted to her.
As the film goes on, however, Miss Stone shows remorse for her actions, warms up to Fred and apologizes for nearly ruining his marriage. Miss Stone actually cares about Fred. She was also the first to realize that Fred was more smarter than she and Cliff thought by the amount of questions he was asking and even suggested to Cliff that they call off the plan, not wanting to ruin Fred's life.
She even showed disgust when Cliff decided to kidnap Fred and Barney's children and fully turned against him when he double-crossed her. She finally atones for her misdeeds by helping Fred capture Cliff and clear his name.
