Lindsey Vonn goes Hollywood for ESPN Cover

Nov 18, 2010

Nine months after winning her first Olympic medal (a gold in the downhill) American ski racing powerhouse Lindsey Vonn is still front-and-center in the public eye.

After collecting a Glamour Women of the Year Award in early November, Vonn got dressed up for a cover shoot with ESPN the Magazine. She left the speed suit and helmet at home, opting for a Sharon Stone look for the magazine’s Movie Spectacular issue.

“In my last couple photo shoots, someone said I looked like Sharon Stone,” said Vonn from the set of the shoot, which recreated the legendary interrogation scene from the 1992 blockbuster. “My husband and I were thinking of which was a good Sharon Stone movie and Basic Instinct came up and it just seemed like it would work and here I am.”

The shoot was part of a feature in the upcoming issue, which will include photos of other athletes posing in classic movie scenes.

“I have to admit, when I put all this makeup on and my hair is all 80’s style and I got the white dress, I do look a little bit like Sharon Stone,” laughed Vonn.

Vonn will return to doing what she does best on the World Cup Tour Nov. 27 in a giant slalom in Aspen, Colo.
