Sharon Stone Says 1992 'Basic Instinct' Role Nearly Killed Her

Summary
Stone said playing Catherine Tramell in 1992's “Basic Instinct” pulled her into “real darkness,” attracting dangerous people who mistook the role for her real self and leaving her feeling she nearly died.
On Mayim Bialik’s podcast, she said the experience taught her to protect her “core self” and avoid becoming “porous” to people drawn to darkness.
Stone also revisited her 2001 medical crisis, saying five glowing “orbs” appeared for several days after her near-fatal stroke and told her she was “supposed to stay.”
That vision, she said, foreshadowed the loss of custody of son Roan, a battle she has previously linked to how her “Basic Instinct” image was used against her in court.
