Sharon Stone (63), the actor of the movie’Primary Instinct’, is getting a lot of attention. In Korea, it is mainly introduced as “I was asked to take off my underwear when filming the film’Basic Instinct’, so I slapped the director on the cheek.” It is a career as a writer. On the 31st of this month (local time), he publishes his autobiography, The Joy of Living Twice. The case of undressing underwear is also one of the many anecdotes confessed through this book.

The New York Times (NYT) said in an interview with Stone, published on the 24th, that his book is “a masterpiece that confesses his personal history in earnest.” Stone said that while filming two films, he made time to write in the office of the publishing company. It’s a different choice than Hollywood stars usually get help from ghostwriters. Stone told NYT that “I had food delivered and sat in the office for hours all day to write.”

The most shocking revelation of the book, illuminated by NYT, is that Stone’s paternal grandfather molested his younger sister in front of Stone. It is said that Sharon Stone was 8 years old and his younger sister was 5 years old. Stone said, “I wrote this part while consulting with my sister.” “My mother objected, saying,’I must talk about it,’ but I finished the book and read it directly to my mother. ‘I wrote,’ he said.

Stone also said that his anger toward his grandfather served as a motive for digesting the role of the protagonist in’Basic Instinct’ as a serial killer. He said, “I once thought I wanted to kill my grandfather by stabbing him with a knife.” Stone added to NYT, “If I don’t reveal the truth myself, other people will create facts that they don’t want to do,” he added. “That’s why I had to write it myself.”

Sister Stone could not forgive her grandfather. According to LA Magazine, Stone remembered his grandfather’s funeral in a book: “The first funeral in my life was my grandfather’s funeral. The feelings I felt at the time were joy and relief. Isn’t it weird that you had to feel this feeling when your family died.”

The episode at the time of filming’Basic Instinct’ was also frankly confessed. At the time, director Paul Verhoven asked him to take off his underwear to express the character, and he said, “There is nothing to worry about because the white dress reflects the light.” However, Stone, who monitored the shooting scene, wrote that he found out that the director had lied and slapped him on the cheek. He also confessed, “I called my lawyer right away, and the lawyer asked me to review the application for a temporary injunction against screening.” He also revealed that in the film industry in the 80s and 90s, “you must actually have sex with your partner to look good on the screen.”

However, instead of giving up halfway, Stone has been steadily working on art. He has also spoken in various fields, including campaigns to support AIDS and breast cancer patients. In August of last year, she appealed for wearing a mask, saying that her sister, Kelly, was infected with a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) because of a person who did not wear a mask. It is the same younger sister who was harassed by her grandfather.

Stone’s book doesn’t stop with revelation. As can be judged from sweet as the title “The Joy of Living Twice,” Stone focuses on hope rather than despair. He suffered from symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage in 2001 and then went through rehabilitation and wrote down hopes for life. This is the background that LA Magazine criticized as “Survivor’s Story”. He said of his experience ascending to the operating table at NYT.

“On the operating table, I ask myself a few questions. Looking back on my life, I asked myself: ‘Why did you push yourself so far? Have you ever listened to your own voice?’ This book is the result of that question.”
