Sharon Stone laments the impact of her 2001 stroke and brain hemorrhage on her acting career, stating that she hasn’t been able to fully recover. She discussed this struggle alongside topics of diversity and accessibility at The Hollywood Reporter’s “Raising Our Voices” luncheon in Los Angeles. The renowned actress revealed that the injuries from over two decades ago still have a lasting impact on her Hollywood life, as she hasn’t had many job opportunities since her recovery. Stone expressed her initial reluctance to share her health issues, highlighting the bias faced by individuals with disabilities and long-term health conditions.
Despite the slowdown in her work, Stone hasn’t completely disappeared from the entertainment industry. While she hasn’t had any recent blockbuster roles, she has made appearances on TV series such as HBO’s “The Flight Attendant,” Fx’s “Ratched,” and the Steven Soderbergh-created miniseries “Mosaic.”
Stone went on to describe her personal journey as a diversity issue, asserting that diversity encompasses various aspects such as injuries, skin color, and self-advocacy. She urged those who are diverse to demand a place in the industry. She also criticized the prevailing anti-woke sentiment in the country’s political climate, emphasizing the importance of preserving diversity.
The luncheon itself made sincere efforts to promote inclusivity. The venue had ADA-compliant ramps and access points, and the stage program included two ASL interpreters. Accessibility volunteers were present throughout the event to ensure everyone’s needs were met.
