Actress Sharon Stone Reveals ‘Near-Death’ Experience

Sharon Stone, the legendary actress who has starred in or produced some of Hollywood’s biggest hits of the past three decades, revealed the moment that her purpose in life changed from acting to activism back in 2001.

At the time, Stone had just finished completing a batch of middling movies when she suffered a “near-death experience,” she recently told viewers of U.K.’s “Good Morning Britain,” according to Fox News. “I went to the first hospital and had an MRI and had this near-death experience and then was transferred to a specialized hospital. I continued to bleed into my brain for nine days before my best friend convinced [the doctors] to look again,” she said. “Thank God they did, because they realized what was going on and how it had happened and were able to repair it at the last moment.”

“It was really one of those beautiful miracles,” she added. “Of course I’m a different person. I have an invisible disability. People can help you when they see you are walking with crutches, but when you are having a bit of a problem with brain function, people don’t know that you need help with that.”

Doctors quickly discovered that the “Basic Instinct” actor suffered from a ruptured vertebral artery, which led to brain hemorrhage and was brought on either through a fall or genetic predisposition. The first step in her recovery lasted “seven years,” she said. “That’s a long time to lose your momentum,” she said. “In seven years, you’re no longer the flavor of the time, you no longer have box office heat, the same people you were working with are no longer in power anymore.” she added. “Everything changes and people don’t really care about that person anymore. It’s like going back to your old job seven years later … you don’t just walk back into your job and think nothing’s changed. I was sort of hurt that the world moved on without me, but I’ve kind of gotten over it now.”

Since transitioning nearly full-time into medical advocacy, Stone has shared how her medical scare helped her empathize with others who have seen their careers sidelined by injuries or trauma out of their control.

“I had a 1% chance of survival. I had a nine-day brain bleed. I recovered for seven years and I haven’t had jobs since,” she said during the “Raising Our Voices” luncheon in June 2023. “My contract changed. I have a maximum of a 14-hour day. When it first happened, I didn’t want to tell anybody because, you know, if something goes wrong with you, you’re out. Something went wrong with me: I’ve been out for 20 years,” she declared. “I haven’t had jobs. I was a very big movie star at one point in my life. I broke a lot of glass ceilings with the top of my head.”

“I would have loved to be heard, but since I wasn’t, I decided to work so that you could be heard,” she continued. “I have spent the last 20 years plus working for the World Health Organization, working for the United Nations, working for governments all over the world. So that you can be heard. It is important to me that your diversity does not get wiped out by this anti-woke bulls— idea in our country.”

In addition to her time spent preaching the benefits of regular check-ups, Stone dedicates her time to art and painting, passions that have helped her find peace in her years since being on the big screen. “I’m in a really grateful place,” she said. “When I was a kid, I always wanted to have a house full of kids running and screaming and dogs, and I got it. And I feel very blessed and happy about the life I got. We’re happy together, and what’s better than that? There’s nothing more free than standing centered in yourself,” Stone added. “I tell my friends that my new mantra is, ‘It’s never too late to become yourself.’”
