Actress Sharon Stone, best known for her roles in films like \u201cTotal Recall\u201d and \u201cBasic Instinct, just excoriated woke Hollywood and its denizens in a powerful interview with PEOPLE magazine, saying that it was only her dad who was there for her in a dark time of her life, with her former friends in Hollywood ditching her at the first sign of trouble.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That dark time was 2001, when she was given just a 1 percent chance of living by doctors after she ruptured a vertebral artery, which then bled into her brain for nine long days. That horrific medical trouble turned what was a thriving career into a trainwreck, with Stone getting divorced and no longer getting calls from Hollywood in the years after.<\/p>\n
Describing that time in her life, she said, \u201cMy father was there for me, but I would say that was about it. I understand if you want to live with solid citizens, don\u2019t come to Hollywood.<\/em>\u201d She added,\u00a0\u201cI lost everything. I lost all my money. I lost custody of my child. I lost my career. I lost all those things that you feel are your real identity and your life.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Continuing, she added that she never got back what she lost during those terrible days and years of misery, saying, \u201cI never really got most of it back, but I\u2019ve reached a point where I\u2019m okay with it, where I really do recognize that I\u2019m enough.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Stone is now a board member of the Barrow Neurological Foundation, which supports the medical institute of her brain surgeon, Dr. Michael Lawton\u2019s medical institute. The mission of the Barrow Neurological Foundation is to save lives \u201cthrough innovative treatment, groundbreaking, curative research and educating the next generation of the world\u2019s leading neuro clinicians<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
