She grabbed the world’s attention by crossing her legs in Basic Instinct. At the age of 63, the Hollywood sex symbol has written a frank memoir – and she’s still making jaws drop.

They Don't Make Them Like Sharon Stone Any More

Sharon Stone hits our Zoom call at a million miles an hour – dazzling and unpredictable, ecstatic, then cheeky, then moved, then furious, then regaling me with celebrity anecdotes so choice that I itch to pass them on. It’s her 63rd birthday, which she’s celebrating at home in Los Angeles, taking receipt of ‘all these incredibly cute videos! It’s been such a Covid year, so you don’t really get to see your buddies. Then to wake up… late… and everybody has really gone all out, sending me these hilarious videos. I’ve been laughing till I’m crying. Love! So much love coming in!’

There was the comedic actress who sent a clip of herself ‘singing as a unicorn, you know’ (Stone grins movie-star megawatts), and the gay couple who dressed themselves, their toddler and their dog ‘like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz’ (Sharon guffaws), and the actor from Ratched, the Netflix show in which Sharon recently starred, who ‘recorded himself talking about how I’ve been like a mom to him’ (Sharon pauses to collect herself, to press index fingers delicately into tear ducts), and (she grows hushed) a ‘girlfriend in Paris sent me [a video of] her daughter, who I had this weird psychic moment with when she was four. They were living in Florida, and out of the blue, I panicked and called her and was like, ‘Check on her! Check on her!’ And her daughter had fallen in the pool and was drowning!’

Sharon decides she’s too hot and removes a light, gauzy knitted layer to reveal a black camisole top, finely honed arms, immaculate cleavage.

Because I know what you’re wondering.

The MALE bias

Historically, medical studies were mainly done on male mice and on men; and then extrapolated to treat women, as if a female body were just a smaller version of a male one. Here’s why that doesn’t make sense, and how to work with your body’s natural rhythm for better health.
