Actress
Sharon
Stone
suffered
from
massive
brain
hemorrhage
in
2001.
After
13
years,
the
actress
opened
up
on
her
struggle.
The
'Basic
Instinct'
actress
said
that
she
spent
two
years
in
coming
to
terms,
said
the
Hollywood
Reporter
in
an
essay.
"I
spent
two
years
learning
to
walk
and
talk
again.
I
came
home
from
that
stroke
stuttering,
couldn't
read
for
two
years," Stone
said.
"I
don't
need
someone
to
make
me
feel
bad
about
growing
older.
I'll
tell
you
what
makes
you
feel
bad:
when
you
think
you
might
not,"
she
added.
Stone,
56,
said
now
shes
doing
well,
which
she
credits
to
her
hard
work
and
determination
to
thrive.
"Perhaps
another
reason
for
the
way
I
look
is
that
I
don't
drink.
Any
alcohol.
I've
watched
actors
and
actresses
go
off
the
rails
with
drugs
and
alcohol
for
years.
Particularly
when
it
all
happens
so
fast
when
you're
young.
"I
want
to
feel
all
my
feelings,
to
have
every
feeling
a
person
can
have
and
never
not
feel
it.
Now
I'm
a
big
tea
drinker,
though
rarely
ones
with
caffeine.
I
have
an
apothecary
of
tea,"
she
added.
"I
believe
there
can
be
a
movie
plot
where
the
leading
hot
guy
who's
43
falls
for
me
instead
of
the
25-year-old
girl,"
she
wrote
in
an
essay
published
in
the
Hollywood
Reporter.
"Jesus,
every
time
I
go
into
a
Starbucks,
some
20-year-old
guy
throws
himself
at
me!
Although
it
might
be
because
he
knows
there's
a
meal
at
the
end
of
it.
But
these
young
guys
know
the
sex
would
be
better,"
Stone
revealed.
