I was too good': Sharon Stone on stardom, family secrets, sexual abuse and her comeback after a stroke
Briefly

Sharon Stone reveals her mother's abusive past and lack of tenderness in their relationship. Her mother, Dot, exhibited difficult behavior, expressing anger and humor even in her final days. Stone shares that her family dysfunction has significantly influenced her life, which she previously kept hidden until her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice. These personal revelations highlight the impact of her maternal grandfather's violence, which affected both her mother and herself in childhood.
My mom wasn't of a sunny disposition. She was hilarious, but she said terrible things to me. Dot swore like a Portuguese dock worker.
When the last thing your mother says to you before she dies is: You talk too much, you make me want to commit suicide,' and the whole room laughs, you think: that's a hard one to go out on, Mom!
This lack of ability to find tenderness and peace within herself. Stone doesn't do small talk.
Family dysfunction has dominated much of her life, despite being hidden from the public until her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice.
