Sharon Stone shared a rare public appearance with her seldom-seen son Quinn while attending a screening of the upcoming dark comedy Wild Horse Nine.
The mother and son were seen making their way toward the theater for the glamorous Hollywood event, which was also attended by Angelina Jolie.
Quinn, 20, looked dapper in a gray pinstriped suit, while his 68-year-old mother opted for an edgier ensemble featuring a black leather jacket, flowing jeans and ankle boots.
Stone appeared delighted to be spending the evening with Quinn.
The actress smiled broadly as she walked toward the theater, her radiant expression enhanced by her understated makeup.
Stone became a mother in 2000 when she and her then-husband, Phil Bronstein, adopted their eldest son, Roan, now 26. The couple later adopted sons Laird, 21, and Quinn, whom they welcomed into their family in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

In her memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, Stone opened up about the difficult experiences that influenced her journey toward motherhood and family life.
She wrote that she grew up in “near poverty in Pennsylvania’s Amish country” and became pregnant at 18 by her “first serious boyfriend.” She later underwent a secret abortion.
Because she was too young to legally have the procedure in Pennsylvania, Stone said her boyfriend drove her to Ohio to terminate the pregnancy.
After becoming famous, Stone endured a turbulent personal life that included broken engagements and two failed marriages.
While married to Bronstein, she tried to conceive naturally but experienced complications associated with an autoimmune condition and endometriosis.
She later revealed on Instagram that she had “lost nine children by miscarriage” over the course of her life.
Stone and Bronstein adopted Roan in 2000. Following their divorce in 2004, however, the former couple became involved in a custody dispute that continued for 14 years.
Bronstein was awarded primary custody in 2008, and Roan remained in San Francisco—a decision Stone has said caused her profound pain.

“After I lost primary custody of Roan, I couldn’t function,” she wrote in her memoir. “I just lay on the couch. I was so damn tired. I would cry. I couldn’t focus on anything but having my son back in my arms. Nothing else mattered, just getting him back.”
Although Stone later signed a confidentiality agreement concerning the custody case, she has said that her role in Basic Instinct was used against her as she fought to retain her custody rights.
In a 2023 interview with People, the actress said she ultimately chose to center her life on motherhood rather than Hollywood.
“I’m grateful that I chose motherhood as a healthy approach to my life and that I didn’t prioritize Hollywood because they certainly didn’t prioritize me,” she told the magazine.

Stone praised her three sons as “wonderful,” adding, “I’m grateful that I chose the things that I did choose.”
The actress occasionally gives fans a glimpse of her life as a mother through Instagram.
In March, she posted a sunny photo of Quinn smiling as he held the family dog, Mo.
“Q & Mo happy together,” she captioned the image.
Quinn also inspired a piece of artwork Stone created that same month—a colorful portrait of her son that she finished in just a few minutes.
“Quinn in five minutes, a quick painting of my son I really enjoyed doing,” she wrote alongside the post.
