“I recovered and haven’t found a job since.” Sharon Stone said at THR’s “Raising Our Voices” luncheon. “When it first happened, I didn’t want to tell anyone. Something went wrong with me. I have been out of work for 20 years. I didn’t have a job. At one point in my life I was a very big movie starStone explained.
The 65-year-old actress went on to recall the times in her career when she had to stand up for herself and become her own advocate. “I broke a lot of “glass ceilings” on top of my head,” she said, implying that this had a negative impact on her career.
“I want to tell you that this hurt and I paid for it. It hurt to fight the studio heads. It hurt to set boundaries. Limits on who could come to my caravan and what they could ask for».
