After bagging the title of Miss Crawford County Pennsylvania, in 1976, Stone moved to New York to become a fashion model. The career soon saw her moving to New Jersey. While living in that city, she realized that she was more suited to the world of acting as compared to modeling and shifted her focus. "So I packed my bags, moved back to New York, and stood in line to be an extra in a Woody Allen movie," she later said. 

She soon bagged a small role in Allen's dramedy Stardust Memories and had a speaking part a year later in the movie, Deadly Blessing which was released in 1981. She soon began appearing in movies and did  projects like, " Les Uns et les Autres", " Silver Spoons", " Bay City Blues", " Magnum, P.I. ", "T. J. Hooker", and "Irreconcilable Differences."

In 1987, she was seen in the miniseries War and Remembrance and later was seen in the comedy "Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol."She soon bagged her breakthrough in the erotic thriller "Basic Instinct." Stone garnered critical acclaim for her "star-making performance."

She faces challenges and even thinks that she has "lost" her place in Hollywood. She later returned to screen in the year 2003 and played the role of Sheila Carlisle, an attorney who believes she can communicate with God, in the eighth season of The Practice, for which she went on to bag the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.
