..might not have exploded if she wasn't met with so much resistance. sharon stone shot to international fame after her role in basic instinct, which propelled her to superstardom in the 19905. her work has also earned her you know, might not have a golden globe nomination exploded if there was any and oscar nominations. help to be had being her. might not have exploded she's since added many strings she's since added many strings to her how, including to her how, including if there was a female agent humanitarian, humanitarian, author and painter. i caught up with her author and painter. i caught up with her at a festival in italy at a festival in italy to be had, or, you know, where we talked movies, where we talked movies, life and politics. life and politics. anybody to have helped me or guided me. i mean, thank god i had people like shirley maclaine so, sharon stone, thank quite a plethora of titles so, sharon stone, thank and faye dunaway you so much forjoining us you so much forjoining us and dyan cannon on the bbc�*s 100 women. on the bbc�*s 100 women. and people who had been there before me to talk to me. first of all, how are you? first of all, how are you? you know, people want to say all kinds of things about these just tickled. just tickled. i'm so excited. i'm so excited. women that went before me, who walked a much harder road i so can't believe i got i so can't believe i got than i did, chosen for this list. chosen for this list. and they have no idea. thank you. thank you. no idea. but those women were very good one thing i do want one thing i do want to explore with you to explore with you to me, very good to me,

are women in hollywood. are women in hollywood. behind the scenes, you've got behind the scenes, you've got quite a plethora of titles and really told me to your portfolio, if you like. what to expect and how to take care of myself. is that something that is what to do, what not to do, growing in hollywood? so that i could be safe... you know, this comes in waves ..in difficult situations. um, i can't tell you how much i appreciate it. so after your brain haemorrhage, your book entitled the beauty of living twice feels almost like you felt and spurts and it goes away that this was a second shot at life. it's a completely different life. my brain got shoved into the front of my face. i mean, my whole dna shifted. my body type shifted. the food i was allergic to shifted, the food i liked shifted, the people that i was familiar with shifted. oh, no, i'm a very different person. a very, very different person.

oh, gosh. and so what i think if you could write a letter is happening, is then to yourself, you pick the age, the editor and the critic and the audience, you know, giving you a piece of advice on resilience, everyone is now like, before or after the brain haemorrhage, what would you say? "0k, what are we going 0h. to do with that?" because i think part of this sophistication and understanding and cultural growth... women just don't wake up i would just say, in the morning and already have their make—up on and have "you're going to make it. slept in rollers and, you know, are running around the house with you're going to make it. a feather duster. "you don't know it, but you're going to make it." you know, we don't have time that's what i would say. any more, and economically, the world is not supporting that. and the world is just very different now. and so reality has i would want to have known it so many times. seeped into the media. yeah. shock! i would wanted to have known it you know? when i was on the floor so i don't know if it's and couldn't get an ambulance reallyjust placing women and couldn't get any help.

i would have wanted to have in a producorial position. i feel that's going to have known it when they wouldn't to happen because, guess what, believe me at the hospital. that's what is happening from the audience point of view. when i kept losing in custody court i saw on your instagram and i had to on election day, november 5th, remortgage my house and i didn't have any money. you wearing the t—shirt, but i really learned "yes, madam president." i was so hopeful. what is a very important thing to know, especially at this time in the world. where were you when you heard the election result that people can take and how did you feel everything from you. in that instant? you know, it's a little everything. bit like a game show. 0k? your global identity. i only take it all so seriously. yourjob. i only invest so much, and then everything you worked for. i get back to what i do. i'm not a politician. everything you have. yourfamily. is it horrifying as a citizen of the country i love? your health. the possibility that yeah. you would have a future. is it scary? yeah. but they cannot take your soul. but do i want my country to grow and be its best? learn and develop? i do. that's why you're a beacon of resilience is this what my cos you hung on to that. country asked to do? oh, man, iwas teeth yes. am i going to respect

the office of the president? down in the dirt, man. yes. what is sharon stone because that is what yet to achieve? a democracy does. i have a plan. some might not use the words that you've just used that you're going to to describe the political share or not share? landscape that america i'm not going to share is about to go into. it until it happens. i can't break the manifestation. but you have a plan. our country is very young, i have a plan. and where we are now, and is it in italy, having this a multi—levelled plan? yeah. conversation, or in england well, naturally. they laugh but you have a plan. or in france, these are countries of many, i have a plan. many centuries. and you are not done yet? no. each of these countries has had time to go through different you've gone into a new chapter phases of their growth of your life — painting. i love being in the studio. and understanding i just love it. and cultural experience. um... america is kind of in and because it's the house next—door to my house, its adolescence, right? it's the greatest, because my america is a new country, kids can run in and out and we haven't experienced and my friends are coming in and out. the things that it's such a warm environment you've experienced. and it's just the greatest. maybe over 80% of americans don't have passports. i wonder what, um... and we are not number i took a list of the names...

one in education. we're maybe 49th or something i wondered what, uh, in education, so... "some heroes" or "two lips," "tuesday evening," i wonder what was going through your and for those of us who have mind when you were doing those? travelled extensively, you know, it's, um... whosejobs, like mine, take us all over the world i name them afterwards to first, second and third when i see them, because... world countries, ..i don't see them to countries that are at peace when i'm painting them. and to countries that i'm really painting, um, are at war, we have different experiences you know where they call, of the world than 80% like, automatic writing? of our fellow countrymen. i'm, like, automatic painting. so... i'm just painting. ..i see the world a little bit differently than a lot i'm in this kind of thing, of my country. that doesn't mean i'm and i don't really know kind not a patriot, right? of what i've painted until i'm i am — i love my country, almost finished painting. and i want my country i'm just in it so deeply. to do well. but my country hasn't and it isn't until, you know, experienced a lot of the things i have these paint tables, that i have seen and then on the other and hasn't conferred side i have some chairs. with a lot of people and then i'll go sit in these countries i've in the chairs and look at it, travelled with who have had,

um, fascist experience, and i can tell if i want to do anything else. and it's only when i'm sitting communist experiences, in the chairs looking at them that i have some idea war on their own country of what's going on. land that is world wars, and what's your inspiration? you know, my aunt had hasn't had these incredible, a masters in painting, um, cultural revolutions. and i spent a lot of time with her when i was a kid. america hasn't had that, right? she was a muralist and she painted on the walls of the house. and our country, for the first time, has banned books. so, it was so normal, because, you know, i was five right? and she was painting on the walls. other countries in so, that does give the europe already learned inclination to be quite free. the heartbreaking so ijust started painting lesson of this. in quite large format because it seemed so, we, 80% of my country normative to me. doesn't know what that means... so, you know, my paintings ..but that doesn't mean are very large. they shouldn't know. and then, when you started i remember when i was younger, exhibiting, how did you feel? well, i hadn't really watching you in basic instinct. planned to do that, but, i can't believe my parents um, i made a painting forthis allowed me to, but it happened. how often do you get asked dearfriend of mine,

about that scene and i took it to her and how do you feel about being birthday party. asked still about that scene? it was wrapped, and i don't think anybody�*s talked to me about it in a really, she had me unwrap it. really long time. 0k. all of a sudden, these people started asking it's like asking, um, me for commissions. daryl hannah how she felt they said, "and how about wearing a mermaid's tail. much would it cost?" so ijust started throwing out big numbers, like, is there any particular role "0k," like... that you went for that you didn't get but you would ..and they started saying "0k." have loved to have played? i'm sure, at the time... and then i started panicking and i said to my friend, ..but sitting here now, no. "i have to go home. i should go home. because... "let's get out of here." and about ten days later, i got offered a show. so ijust kind of picked what i thought were the best of what i'd painted ..i am so sure that and had a show. when there's a no, and then i started thinking, it's because there's "you better start figuring out a yes somewhere else. how to have a show." when you look back on your body of work, what's the most proud and now i've had shows, thing that you've done? you know, it could be any body of work. shows in other countries. i'm not narrowing it down i have a museum show coming up. to the acting or the painting or the writing. and you have sold work... so, i did this yeah, i've sold a bunch of work.

auction, project la. ..for staggering amounts of money. yeah, for, yeah... someone said they wanted for shockingly to buy a kiss from me. great...money, yeah. and so i got the bidding going, yeah. just from doing something that and i got both a man you absolutely love. and a woman bidding and i really think that that to buy a kiss, and i got should be advice to everyone. them bidding against each other, and... follow your bliss. ..we bought a fleet of vans. 0h! are we allowed and i've really learned to talk about bumble? oh, that's hilarious, yes. a lot about that. i would say more than anything, because... if you would ask me this explains so much. about basic instinct, what happened ? that's what i learned from that movie, because i got made into an idea of something i went on bumble, and they and i sold it... kicked me off because they said it wasn't me. ..for hundreds and hundreds and then they used the and hundreds of millions publicity that they kicked me of dollars to raise off, which i thought was... so now i'm on a different site! money for aids research. they laugh i'm really proud that i took this idea... but honestly, i don't know. ..that was made up in this i think that these j.crew movie, that i was really sexy, catalogues for dating...

and used it to fight a disease ..don�*t give you the thing that dating is all about, where people were getting which is chemistry. mm—hm. punished for their sexuality because i was getting and isn't that what it's all about? punished for mine. 100%. yeah. you have to sniff that out for so, it wasn't just the fact yourself like a truffle pig. that i did a scene where yeah. i crossed my legs, except i don't want to do that! which we were not previously that sounds exhausting. supposed to do, but that how are you finding it? i showed my bare armpits. well, you can't smell so there were all kinds of boundaries that were expanded through the pages! for women in film, but most what do you say to yourself of it was the expansion that when you're on the verge i took ownership, of giving up? the character — not really me — well, i think i either need but the character that i played took ownership of her sexuality, and that food, sleep, a bath, really was so unusual. to go outside, or to call my friends. and so i think i'm most proud those are the things that that we used that successfully, you're literally cycling philanthropically. through your head. yeah. wonderful! going back to all the things that you've fought for, because you were labelled a term that we don't use any more — sex symbol. what is the fight that you sex symbol. think is worth fighting for? the last! femme fatale. the last of the sex symbols. decency. they laugh would you say mm—hm. that was a moniker or a curse?

i wouldn't say it was either. because i think if you're a decent person, what would you say it was? you're going to take care of people just the way it was. the way you'd like to be taken care of. and then, sharon stone, what is your superpower? i'm very consistent. sharon stone established herself as one of the biggest stars in hollywood in the �*90s, i'm a consistent person. in blockbusters from casino to basic instinct, but in i think that when people the decades since becoming meet me, because i'm so... an icon of cinema, she's reinvented herself as a humanitarian and, i'm kind of an intense person, and i'm a little bit more recently, as a painter. seemingly eccentric because i'm kind i put paint on and then of fast tick, um, pull it back off people think that i'm not to get certain effects. it's more of an emotional going on, like that going to be consistent. release from structure. however, she recently disclosed people think that they should pick the more steady that in the early 2000s, eddie person. you know, i think that she was given a 1% chance people are surprised by my consistency, by the fact of survival following a brain haemorrhage — that i raised three kids that a diagnosis that changed i adopted. the course of her career and her life. i think people are just, "oh, yeah, right. so the theme of the 2024100 "oh, no, she's not a drunk. women is resilience. "she's not a crazy person. how do you cope with resilience? "she's not...

what do you do to be resilient? "she doesn't have relationships like a revolving door." i think we can choose to get all wound up in these distractions. you know, i think all that always surprises people about me. we can choose to moan your superpower is that you're consistent. or we can choose joy. i think that's my superpower. i think you have to just keep choosing joy. i mean, it's not that you have had some really huge i don't lose my temper, things happen in your life. yes, i have. um, or freak out or do things the brain haemorrhage like everybody else, that you survived. yes. but i think, overall, the things that you fight for, pretty ordinary. you fight hard for them. yes. pretty much an ordinary kid. but a fantastic woman. thank you. as well as getting into so thank you so much, the flow and keeping the good sharon stone, forjoining us energy around you, what other on 100 women. resilient tactics do thank you so much too. you put into place? thank you. i stay present. music: love is strange i think if you look back, by mickey & sylvia even for a split second, you can really f yourself up. you have to work so hard to stay present. # love is strange...# you fell down.

get up. someone pushed you down. now they want to help you up. let them. you push someone down. 0ops! hello. get them back up. let's get back in the game. if you have travel plans this it's really hard work. weekend, it's probably worth that's why you have to do keeping an eye on the weather forecast because wintry weather breathwork, because you have could cause some quite significant disruption. to breathe when you'd rather met office amber warnings have been issued for snow and ice punch someone in the face. during the weekend, particularly covering parts of wales, the midlands and up that'll save you. into northern england as we head through saturday i mean, you have to learn night and on into sunday. breathing techniques. you have to learn to stand so what's going on? in warrior pose, for me, because i needed discipline. well, cold air has set in across the uk, this cold arctic air sitting in place. i'm a fast pony. and then from the southwest, i had to learn some milder air tries to make a move. to hold my own reins. and along the boundary between the two, with your brain haemorrhage, i read that you didn't we have this weather front. as this weather front like the sharon before, moves into the cold air, well, it is that that but you love this sharon. will generate some significant snow for some of us, well, i won't say that i didn't but also some rain down like the sharon before. towards the south as things turn milder. saturday morning, though, i mean, that sharon starting with some fog, especially down towards the south — freezing fog after a cold night.

before moved out of a... and after that foggy start, with cloud rolling ..no stoplight farm town in from the south, i think across some southern parts, in northwestern pennsylvania it will be quite a grey day. more sunshine for northern england, northern ireland and became a global and scotland, although there will be some wintry showers. superstar... in fact, some more widespread ..and started that work, wet and wintry weather moving that charity work. 00:13:17,139 --> 4294966103:13:29,429 and... across the northern isles. temperatures really struggling. in aberdeen, it may not get above freezing through the afternoon. even further south, highs of three, four, five degrees. but as we head through saturday evening, that wet weather moves into the southwest of england, maybe some snow over higher ground, but that snow developing more widely as our weather system moves into wales, the midlands. 0ver some of the highest ground here, we could see 30cm of snow, maybe up to 40cm of snow, maybe up to 40cm eventually across the high eventually across the high ground of the pennines — ground of the pennines — that snowfall moving its way that snowfall moving its way into northern england. into northern england. but notice what happens down but notice what happens down to the south by the end to the south by the end of the night. 12 degrees there in plymouth of the night. 12 degrees there in plymouth for sunday morning, some much for sunday morning, some much milder air to the south. milder air to the south. and so some of what falls and so some of what falls from the sky will be turning from the sky will be turning back to rain across parts back to rain across parts of wales, the midlands. of wales, the midlands. that could give ice for a time. that could give ice for a time. further snow, particularly further snow, particularly

across high ground in northern across high ground in northern england, but maybe to england, but maybe to low levels for a time. low levels for a time. some snow into southern some snow into southern and eastern scotland, and eastern scotland, perhapsjust clipping perhapsjust clipping into the south—east into the south—east of northern ireland. of northern ireland. some big temperature contrasts on sunday afternoon — some big temperature contrasts on sunday afternoon — cold in the north, much cold in the north, much milder further south. milder further south. but that mild air in the south but that mild air in the south is not going to last. is not going to last. as we head into the new week, as we head into the new week, it is going to turn cold again. it is going to turn cold again. we should see a fair bit we should see a fair bit of sunshine, but we do continue of sunshine, but we do continue to have the chance for some wintry showers. to have the chance for some wintry showers. bye for now. bye for now.
