Sharon Stone Will Play Hillary Clinton in Satirical Ads

Actress/producer Sharon Stone is set to appear in satirical ads ridiculing the 2008 American presidential race.


The‘Basic Instinct actress and her rumoured love interest, French intellectual/businessman Bernard-Henri Levy, will be seen separately as ‘Patricia Hill’ and ‘Patrick Hill’ for the 60 seconds commercials.

The add campaign is the brainchild of artist Francesco Vezzoli, who is known for parodying Hollywood with ‘Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal's 'Caligula’.

Stone will be emulating United States Senator from New York Hillary Clinton who also helped Vezzoli in writing the script.

According to the actress’ rep, the commercial is a ‘farce’, the New York Post reports.

Other people involved with the project are President Bush's top ad strategist who currently works for Sen. John McCain, Mark McKinnon and Jim Mulhall of Bill Clinton's 1996 creative team Squier Knapp Dunn.

Vezzoli insisted that the commercials would serve as ‘the manipulative strategies of political communication’.

The ads will be out next week at the 51th Venice Biennale.

Meanwhile, Levy who is married to actress Arielle Dombasle has denied any claims of going around with Stone.
