Sharon Stone Paid Leonardo DiCaprio’s Salary

Leonardo DiCaprio revealed to E! News that he has thanked Sharon Stone “many times” for paying his acting salary in 1995 when the studio refused to cast him in Sam Raimi’s revisionist Western drama “The Quick and the Dead.” DiCaprio was coming off his Oscar-nominated breakthrough role in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” at the time, and Stone was quite eager to work with the young star. She was adamant about casting DiCaprio and Russel Crowe in the film, and she was willing to pay for it.

“She said, ‘These are the two actors I want to work with,’” DiCaprio recalled. “It’s incredible. She’s been a huge champion of cinema and giving other actors opportunities, so I’m very thankful.”

“I’ve thanked her many times,” he added. “I don’t know if I sent her an actual, physical thank-you gift, but I cannot thank her enough.”

In “The Quick and the Dead,” Stone starred as a gunslinger who visits a frontier town and clashes with its leader (Gene Hackman). In her 2021 memoir, “The Beauty of Living Twice,” she revealed that she paid for DiCaprio’s salary herself after studio TriStar Pictures refused to cast him (via Insider).

“This kid named Leonardo DiCaprio was the only one who nailed the audition,” Stone wrote, adding that she auditioned a handful of teen actors for the role of The Kid. “In my opinion he was the only one who came in and cried, begging his father to love him as he died in the scene.”

Stone recalled the studio telling her, “Why an unknown, Sharon, why are you always shooting yourself in the foot?’”

“The studio said if I wanted him so much, I could pay him out of my own salary. So I did,” Stone continued.
