In 2001, Sharon Stone suffered a hemorrhagic stroke due to a ruptured vertebral artery. In an interview, she admitted that doctors initially ignored the symptoms she described and wanted to send her home as soon as possible. “If they had actually sent me back then, I would have definitely died,” the Golden Globe winner later explained. The actress took a long time to recover from the stroke. She had problems with memory, seizures and could not read.
Sharon Stone on Life After Stroke
Sharon Stone spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about how her stroke changed her life. “I had a bleed in my brain for nine days, so it was pushed to the front of my face. It wasn’t where it was in my head. And when that happened, everything changed.” The actress also added that the stroke affected her senses of smell, sight and touch, and she struggled with reading for a long time. “Things were stretched out and I saw colored patterns. A lot of people thought I was going to die,” Sharon Stone said.
The worst thing, however, was not the effects of the stroke itself, but the way the actress was treated by other people. During her hospitalization and recovery, Sharon Stone’s account was emptied of all her savings. “My refrigerator, my phone – everything was in other people’s names… I had no money,” she added in an interview with “The Hollywood Reporter.” The actress decided to put the unpleasant experiences of the past behind her and focus on what is happening here and now. “If you keep the faith, even if it’s the size of a mustard seed, you will survive,” she said.
