She said: ‘I’ve worked with some of the biggest stars in the business, who will literally talk through my close-up, telling me what they think I should do. They’re so misogynistic.’ 

The Oscar nominee was quick to point out that her Casino co-stars Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci were not in that category. 

‘That is not Robert De Niro. that is not Joe Pesci, that is not those guys,’ she explained.

Longtime friends: Sharon has remained friends with her co-stars since they starred together in the 1995 crime drama   

The veteran actress also described an interaction she had with late George C Scott, with whom she worked on 1999’s Gloria. 

‘He said to me, “I want to give you the greatest compliment I could possibly give to someone, honey,” and he put his hand on my face and said, “You’re the best listener I’ve ever worked with except for my wife.”’

The astonished star said she was so touched by the compliment, she cried. 

Sharon was candid about how her outspokenness may have affected her reputation in Hollywood.  

‘I am not the most popular actor in town, because people don’t want to hear my, as they say, f***ing opinions… maybe because of my devotion, maybe because I’m just kind of a weirdo. But I’m just in it to be present.’ 

The versatile actress will be seen next in the romantic drama, What About Love with Andy Garcia.
