Sharon Stone, celebrated for her iconic role in 'Basic Instinct,' is facing a significant career setback at 65 due to a complex medical diagnosis, making a return to the big screen highly improbable.
In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Stone discussed a pivotal moment in 2001 when she suffered a stroke, leading to a cascade of challenges. She revealed, "I can't find a job in Hollywood, and the system has not given me support." The aftermath of her health crisis resulted in closed doors, economic struggles, and family issues.
Stone recounted the difficulties she faced when many believed she wouldn't survive. "A lot of bad things happened to me because people left me for dead. Somehow my bank account reached zero while I was in the hospital, all my money disappeared. I lost custody of my son. My career is over."
The acclaimed actress is currently grappling with a serious convulsive brain condition, a diagnosis she concealed for years in an attempt to revive her acting career. Stone expressed her frustration, stating, "I have a brain seizure condition that is very serious, and I tried to hide it for years because I wanted to get back into the business.
But if you have a disability, that doesn't work in my industry. That is why I hid my condition for many years." Despite her immense talent and contributions to cinema, Stone's journey reflects the challenges individuals with health conditions face in the demanding entertainment industry.
