Sharon Stone is sharing more personal information than ever.

The “Basic Instinct” actress, who suffered a brain hemorrhage stroke in 2001, was reportedly tol by physicians that she might pass away after the bleeding continued for nine days.

On “TODAY Sunday,” Stone talked to Willie Geist about contacting her mother and pleading with her to hurry to the hospital.

“Did you feel in that moment, Sharon, like you might die?” asked Geist.

“The room was so silent,” she remembered. “When the room is so silent and no one’s running around trying to fix you, that’s when you realize how near death is and how serious everything is.”

Willie reacted, referring to Stone’s most recent memoir, “The Beauty of Living Twice,” by saying, “You write about the light, the feeling of falling, seeing people who had passed.”

She told Willie, “I found out that I wasn’t the only one who’d had this kind of experience.” “It’s so profound. And I know that scientists feel that it’s a scientific thing that happens. And spiritualists believe that it’s a spiritual thing. Personally, I’m with (Albert) Einstein, who believed that it’s both.”

The actress claims that the incident caused her to reconsider her priorities.

“I’m in a really grateful place. When I was a kid, I always wanted to have a house full of kids running and screaming and dogs, and I got it. And I feel very blessed and happy about the life I got. We`re happy together, and what`s better than that?” she said.

“There’s nothing more free than standing centered in yourself. I tell my friends that my new mantra is, `It’s never too late to become yourself,” Stone continued.

Thanks to her roles in the films “Basic Instinct” (1992) and “Casino” (1995), Stone was one of Hollywood’s most sought-after celebrities before suffering a stroke.

The “Casino” actor also disclosed that it took her seven years to recover from the stroke in an old interview she gave to Variety in the year 2019.

“I had to remortgage my house. I lost everything I had. I lost my place in the business. I was like the hottest movie star, you know? It was like Miss Princess Diana and I were so famous, and she died and I had a stroke. And we were forgotten,” she said.

She also told Variety that several individuals were “brutally nasty” to her while she was recovering.

“I don’t think anyone understands how hazardous a stroke is for women and what it takes to recover,” she said, referring to both other women in her own business and the female judge who oversaw her custody dispute (over her kid).

The actress just published her autobiography, titled “The Beauty of Living Twice.”

In her autobiography, Stone also discusses the controversial “Basic Instinct” incident in which she was duped into filming the bare scene.
