Actor Sharon Stone is the original s*x symbol of Hollywood. The star is known for her steamy blockbusters like the iconic Basic Instinct, Sliver, and other films in which she played the quintessential femme fatale, making her a huge sensation among audiences. Stone also went on to star in films that showcased her acting talent. The celebrity received a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Martin Scorsese’s crime drama Casino. Naturally, with a career spanning many years, the Total Recall actor has made her share of substantial money. But her profession has also thrown her many curveballs including a cancer scare and most recently, the loss of her fortune.

Speaking of her traumatic experience, the actor emphasized the importance of taking action and said,
“I know that thing that you have to get on and figure out how to text the money is difficult. I’m a technical idiot, but I can write a f-king check” emphasizing the importance of taking action even if it’s not easy”
Though Sharon Stone did not comment further on the stock market volatility that rocked the nation, the Casino star urged her fans and audiences to stand up to fraud and place a value on their lives. The actor stated,
“This is not an easy time for any of us. This is a hard time in the world, but I’m telling you what, I’m not having some politician tell me what I can and cannot do.”
Stone has always been an advocate for human rights and has made no bones about her political leanings as well. She has also supported the appointment of women in powerful posts.
