Sharon Stone, 55, looked stunning in a black floor-length gown at the opening ceremony of the 13th Marrakesh International Film Festival in Morocco yesterday (Nov. 29) where director Martin Scorsese presented her with an award.

“What is the definition of stardom, not fame, but true stardom?” Scorsese asked the audience. “Sharon is brilliant, extremely talented, fearless, charming, funny and absolutely wild, and she’s a true star. When she walks in a room the energy changes.”
