Stone faced criticism for attempting to 'destroy' the American icon, despite having the CEO of Mattel's support.

  • Sharon Stone revealed her failed attempt to pitch a Barbie film in the '90s, which was rejected for portraying Barbie as a powerful figure.

  • Despite having the then-CEO of Mattel's support, Stone was thrown out of the studio and criticized for attempting to 'destroy' the American icon.
