Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

I'm very excited to share this one with you this week with Sharon Stone, a Hollywood

icon, a term that's often overused but certainly applies in this case.

She's got an amazing story and put it all down in writing in her new memoir called The

Beauty of Living Twice.

It tracks her life from a childhood in rural Pennsylvania, moves her into New York City

where she started modeling and then got into the movie business first, did you know, in

a Woody Allen film in 1980.

But the part about Living Twice is where we begin our conversation.

You may not know this or you just may not remember, but in September of 2001, while we all

were so consumed, obviously, with the events of September 11th, Sharon Stone had a massive

brain hemorrhage.

She had a stroke and it stayed with her for years actually.

She thought she was going to die as you'll hear us discuss.

And she talks about being reborn in that moment and figuring out what was important to her

and figuring out how to get her life back and figuring out how to change her life.

So there's a lot to talk about.

What a life she has lived.

You probably don't know a lot of the details of it.

They're all in the book.

We get to a lot of it in this conversation.
