The renowned actress Sharon Stone, aged 65, disclosed that she experienced rejection from Hollywood following a debilitating stroke. In 2001, Stone was urgently hospitalized due to a brain hemorrhage that endured for nine arduous days. Consequently, she took a two-year hiatus from her career, resulting in her absence from the film industry for a staggering two decades. These revelations were reported by aceshowbiz.com.
During The Hollywood Reporter's "Raising our Voices" event, Stone candidly spoke with Page Six. She revealed, "I spent seven years recuperating, and since then, I have been unable to secure any acting roles. Initially, I refrained from divulging my condition to anyone since, in this industry, one's career can be jeopardized by personal setbacks. Unfortunately, something did go awry, and as a result, I have been out of work for the past 20 years. There was a time in my life when I was an immensely popular movie star."
Despite achieving global recognition for her involvement in iconic cinematic moments, such as the leg-crossing scene in the 1992 film "Basic Instinct" and earning an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of the eccentric hustler Ginger McKenna in Martin Scorsese's "Casino" in 1996, Stone confessed that she feels as though she has "lost everything" following her health scare.
In an interview with Variety in 2019, she lamented, "I lost my standing in the industry. I used to be the most sought-after movie star, you know? I was on par with the likes of Miss Princess Diana. However, after her tragic demise and my stroke, we were forgotten. I found myself at the bottom of the barrel in this cutthroat business, as if I had to start all over again."
Since her stroke, Stone has managed to secure roles in films such as "Catwoman," "Lovelace," and "The Laundromat." Despite her estimated fortune of $60 million, she revealed at a Women's Cancer Fund event on March 23, shortly after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, that she had lost half of her wealth during the recent financial crisis. She expressed her resilience, saying, "Even after losing a significant portion of my finances due to the banking crisis, I refuse to let it define me."
Stone has also repeatedly claimed that she was deceived by director Paul Verhoeven, known for his work on films such as "RoboCop" and "Showgirls." According to Stone, she was manipulated into removing her underwear for the infamous police interrogation scene in "Basic Instinct," where her character, a psychotic bisexual, briefly exposes her private parts by crossing her legs.
