Sharon Stone, the iconic actress known for her roles in “Basic Instinct” and “Casino,” recently opened up about a painful moment in her life. In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stone revealed that after suffering a stroke in 2001, she discovered that all $18 million of her savings had been taken advantage of by others.
Despite this devastating setback, Stone chose to move forward and focus on living for joy and purpose. She spoke about how the experience led her to shift her career from acting to activism, becoming a dedicated advocate for the World Health Organization.
