At the age of 64, Sharon Stone continues her work in movies, making red carpet appearances and looking amazing. The star of Basic Instinct has walked a long path to happy motherhood, with bad marriages, miscarriages, and difficult fights over the custody of her adopted son along the way.
We at CHEERY decided to tell you the inspiring story of this star of the 90s. Despite all the challenges along the way, Sharon Stone became a happy adoptive mother of 3 children.
The fateful role that changed Sharon Stone’s life
Sharon worked really hard to become famous. On the path to her dream, she quit college, dyed her hair blonde, became a model, trained hard, and even had a Playboy photoshoot. Her breakthrough moment was in 1990, when she appeared in Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger. By the time her film Basic Instinct came out in 1992, she was a huge star with lots of interesting offers.
This is what Sharon says about her role in Basic Instinct that changed her life, “When I got this role, I thought, This is the opportunity of a lifetime. I’m either gonna play this part and rock things or hang my head in shame at the supermarket. It was an all-or-nothing roll of the dice.”
After this role, Stone became one of the top women in Hollywood. She appeared in the epic drama Casino by Martin Scorsese. The role of a cunning, ego-centric woman brought Sharon The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and an Oscar nomination. In 1995, Sharon Stone got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
She has a lot of iconic movies: Sliver (1993), The Mighty (1998), Catwoman (2004), Alpha Dog (2006), The Disaster Artist (2017), The Laundromat (2019), and others.
Due to her magnetism and attractiveness, Sharon Stone has been on many lists, like 50 Beautiful People by People (1992) and Empire’s 100 Hottest Stars in the History of Cinema (1995, 1997).
Many relationships with men that were way younger than her
The actress wanted to be famous not only in her career but also in her personal life. Hoping to build a strong relationship, the hottest woman of the 90s went through a lot of bad romances. She had relationships with different men, such as Bill MacDonald, David Duchovny, Craig Ferguson, Christian Slater, Rick Fox, David DeLuise, Martin Mica, and Michael Wudyka. If she finds that the man doesn’t share any of her interests, she ends the relationship.
In 2021, she appeared in public with a guy younger than her: the 25-year-old rap singer RMR. Sharon reminded the entire world that she still attracts men.
The hardest time when she couldn’t even get up from the couch
Sharon Stone was officially married twice. First, she married Michael Greenburg in 1984, but they got divorced in 1987. Her second marriage was with Phil Bronstein. Their marriage lasted from 1998 to 2004. It was full of happy and terrible moments. The spouses wanted to have children, but they couldn’t: Sharon had 9 miscarriages.
But she still managed to become a mother, “The last time I lost the baby... I went into 36 hours of labor. While we were at the hospital, our adoption attorney called... I thought, ‘This is such a godsend. This is so right. This is so right.’ I always thought I would adopt. Even when I was young, I used to look up how to adopt.”
In 2000, the couple adopted Roan. The actress said, “He’s my wonderful, precious little Buddha. He eats like a champion. He sleeps peacefully — and he’s the apple of his daddy’s eye.” Everything was great until the spouses broke up in 2004. They went through a difficult custody lawsuit, but the court decided that Phil had full custody and Sharon could only visit. She told, “After I lost primary custody of Roan, I couldn’t function. I just lay on the couch. I was so tired. I would cry.”
From femme fatale to happy single mom that accepts herself and the world
After the way her second marriage ended, Sharon came to the conclusion that her ex-husband hadn’t been interested in the relationship, “His initial intention with me was probably corrupt. I was suckered. I’m embarrassed to say that”. Then she started her path to single motherhood. Stone adopted 2 sons — Laird in 2005 and Quinn in 2006.
Motherhood changed her attitude to many things and made her think about the things that really matter. After adopting 3 children, the actress realized that any child may feel like your own, “After that you never see the world in the same way again. I’m connected to everyone on this planet. And that’s a miracle in and of itself.”
After a difficult divorce and many health issues, including a stroke, the actress values every moment of her life and everything she’s got. “I’m in a really grateful place... 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?”
Even though the 90s were a long time ago, Sharon Stone is still considered to be one of the most talented and attractive women in Hollywood. Confident and stunning, she prefers to spend time with herself and the kids. “I’m done dating, I’ve had it with dating. I just find people to be insincere and not worth my time. I enjoy my alone time and time with my kids and my friends more”.
Sharon is focused on herself and her family and she proves that you can search for your path at any age. “I tell my friends that my new mantra is, “It’s never too late to become yourself.”
She has a positive outlook, she’s happy with every single day she lives, she meditates, does Pilates and yoga, she eats good food, and she sleeps well. She said “no” to botox injections because she thinks it’s not normal to distort your face.
