Sharon Stone is detailing her hard reality – since suffering a stroke in 2001, the actress claims she's been cast aside by Hollywood.
In her opening remarks as host of the "Raising Our Voices" luncheon, given by The Hollywood Reporter, Stone admitted that similar to others in the room, she too is "a person that has a diversity issue.". I had a 1% chance of survival. I had a nine-day brain bleed. I recovered for seven years and I haven't had jobs since. My contract changed. I have a maximum of a 14-hour day.
"Diversity can mean more than one thing. Diversity can be an injury. Diversity can be the color of your skin. Diversity can mean standing up for yourself. If you are diverse, you must demand a position in this business. We are here to raise our voices to demand for you. We demand that you be seen. We demand that you be heard," she passionately told the crowd. "I would have loved to be heard, but since I wasn't, I decided to work so that you could be heard.
