Sharon Stone Proves Age is Just a Number: 19 Photos of The Bombshell Through the Years

Sharon Stone cornered the market when it came to Hollywood it-girl status, with roles in films like Basic Instinct, Total Recall and Casino throughout the 90s and early 2000s. Ironically enough, Stone’s pivotal roles in these films all came to her in the midst of her thirties — which by Hollywood standards is considered past her prime. But Stone held her own as a sensual, confident actress and has maintained her stunning radiance throughout the last 30 years.

Now in her 60s, Sharon Stone has been outspoken about the way the world views women with regard to age and preserving eternal youth, and she’s been candid about the struggles she went though herself to attain it. In a 2022 interview with Vogue Arabia, Stone revealed, “There were periods in the super fame when I got Botox and filler and stuff and then I had this massive stroke and a nine-day brain hemorrhage and then I had to have over 300 shots of Botox and filler to make the one side of my face come up again.”

The health scare she’s referring to came in 2001 and resulted in years of recovery, both mentally and physically. “My recovery period was hell, quite frankly,” she told Brain&Life. “I lost 18 percent of my body mass in nine days. I came out of the hospital looking like teeth on a stick. At that time, they didn’t have stroke recovery programs. Months later, I was really, really struggling.”

Today, however, Sharon stone is a leader in embracing her age, natural beauty and still has the same glow and vibrancy to her that she did all those years ago, and proves every day that age is just a number. “I’m a seriously self-motivated person, clearly. I’m gonna get up and create whether Hollywood gives me a job or not,” Stone told Prevention. “I’m gonna get up and work. If it’s not for Hollywood, it’s gonna be for somebody else.”
