Sharon Stone has said she was never given a good part again after 1995's Casino and described herself as "the invisible actress".
The Basic Instinct star, 66, has since appeared in films such as Catwoman, Lovelace and Basic Instinct 2.
Stone lost out on winning an Oscar for Martin Scorsese's crime thriller Casino to Susan Sarandon in Dead Man Walking.
Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Stone said The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola warned her in advance that this would be the case.
She said: "Francis put his hand on my shoulder and he said: 'I need to talk to you'.
"I've won the Golden Globe for Casino and I was nominated for an Oscar. And I said: 'Oh sure, what's going on?' And he said: 'You're not going to win the Oscar'.
"And I looked at him and I said: 'I'm not?' And he said: 'No'. And I thought I was going to cry and he said: 'I want you to feel like you're going to cry now. I don't want you to cry in the room, and that's why I'm doing this, and it feels so mean right now.
"'But I didn't win for The Godfather and Marty didn't win for Raging Bull, and you're not going to win for Casino.
"'And it's because this room can't hear opera. They don't let us win because they don't want us to take over the system.
"'This is not the level of films they want. And your performance will stand the test of time. And when you lose, Marty and I are gonna be in the room and you're gonna lose with us. And when you lose, we're gonna be holding you when you lose'."
Discussing attending the Oscars when she knew she was going to lose, Stone said: "You have to pretend it's fantastic and it's not fantastic.
"And then I didn't get any good parts ever again for the rest of my entire life."
Theroux said: "That can't be true. I'm sure there were other movies you did that were good."
Stone replied: "No, and guess what? I hate it."
She explained: "It's easier to say: 'She's cold', or: 'I don't like her', or: 'She's difficult', or: 'She must be sick', or: 'She's too old', or that: 'She's hard to cast', or: 'We don't know what to do with her'."
Stone continued: "'What if she comes in and gives another performance and she gets nominated instead of Robert De Niro? That's not what we want to have happen'."
When Theroux asked if there is any movie after Casino that Stone feels proud of, she answered: "Take a look. Did anybody notice me?
"Did anybody notice me in Lovelace? That was a performance you could sharpen your knives on. Did anybody notice that? Nope. Do you see any acknowledgment for any of this stuff? Nope. I'm the invisible actress."
She added: "I hate it. I could play Hamlet in the nude. I hate it. There's just nothing."
