Sharon Stone writes memoir that doesn’t ‘pull any punches’

Sharon Stone has taken on a new, real-life role — memoir writer.

“I have learned to forgive the unforgivable,” says Stone, whose ‘The Beauty of Living Twice’ comes out in March 2021. “My hope is that as I share my journey, you too will learn to do the same.’’

Alfred A Knopf announced on Tuesday that the 62-year-old actor will reflect on everything from her painful childhood in Pennsylvania to such films as the star-making erotic thriller ‘Basic Instinct’ and Martin Scorsese’s mobster epic ‘Casino,’ for which she received an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe award. She’ll also write about her two marriages, her near-fatal stroke in 2001, and her humanitarian work on behalf of AIDS research and other causes.

“Stone in these pages echoes the Stone who made headlines throughout her career: she is courageous, honest, and outspoken, refusing to pull any punches when discussing aspects of the trauma and violence she endured as a child and how her chosen career as an actress echoed many of those same assaults,” Knopf said in a statement.

Stone’s other movies include Albert Brooks’ ‘The Muse,’ Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Broken Flowers,’ and ‘The Laundromat,’ a Steven Soderbergh film released in 2019.
