Sharon Stone is one of the most vindictive and sincere actresses about the backstage of Hollywood, from the difference in salaries for the simple fact of being a woman, to the loss of custody of a child for being accused of being too sexy. In each new public appearance she leaves a headline to analyze and study in detail in order to understand her experiences.
Precisely in his last public appearance during the gala of he Hollywood Reporter’s Raising Our Voices, dio a new reality check about Hollywood and the treatment she received after suffering a stroke in 2001.
“I recovered for seven years, and I still haven’t had a job since then” Thus began the allegation of the actress about the “abuse” she suffered from the industry after suffering a stroke that persecutes all the women in her family. “When it happened, I didn’t want to tell anyone, because you already know that if something bad happens to you, they stop counting on you- Something bad happened to me- I’ve been away for 20 years. I have not had jobs. At one point in my life I was a huge star.”
at 43 years old the life of the nominee for an Oscar for “Casino” was about not being able to tell it, they only gave her a 1% chance of overcoming it and coming out unscathedquite a miracle that can sometimes be fulfilled, after six months in which he had to relearn to walk, speak, read and write.
The actress and activist acknowledged that speaking out and being vindictive has “caused many problems in the industry”but seeing what she has seen, she does not intend to ever abandon the practice, because for her “It is important to me that your diversity is not annihilated by this anti-shit idea awakening in our country.”
“I broke many glass ceilings”Stone continued. “I want to tell you, it hurts. It hurt to get paid. It hurt to fight the heads of the studio. It hurt me to set limits, limits on who could come to my trailer and what they could ask of me; limits on the fact that I didn’t want to sign my contract in my makeup trailer the day a show started.” Quite a statement about the back door of Hollywood and all the barriers she had to break to earn their respect.
