Sharon Stone On Ageing Gracefully — ‘Beauty Is Not An Hourglass’ That Drips Into ‘Nothingness’

Mar 15, 2022

Sharon Stone is an American actress, producer and model. She was prominent in the 1990s when she was known for portraying femme fatale figures in movies. She has received critical acclaim and accolades for her talent as an actress. Stone was nominated for an Academy Award and has won a Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award as well. She also has her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Stone began her career as a model and is still just as glowing as ever at age 64. The actress celebrated her 64th birthday on March 10, 2022, and advocates for self-care and letting oneself age gracefully instead of being obsessed with looking youthful. The star posts regularly on social media and fans are constantly taken aback by her timeless beauty. 

After her film debut in “Stardust Memories,” Stone went on to appear in “Irreconcilable Differences,” “Total Recall,” “Casino” and “The Quick and the Dead,” which she starred in alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Even though DiCaprio is one of the biggest Hollywood actors of today, he will likely always remember his roots and how he started his career due to the help he received from Stone before “The Quick and the Dead” was filmed. 

Stone is one of Hollywood's great beauties and leading ladies from the 1980s and 90s. Her influence as a co-producer was demonstrated when she backed DiCaprio after the studio wanted to hire someone else for his part. She did more than just put in a good word for him and agreed to pay for his salary herself. Keep reading to learn more about Stone and to see her stunning beauty at age 64.

Stone's new memoir "The Beauty Of Living Twice" details many experiences in Stone's life, one of which was her decision to back the young DiCaprio's role in Sam Raimi's "The Quick and the Dead." In 1995 after the release of the movie, Stone told Entertainment Weekly, "He’s so good, it’s scary," and added, "I was dying to have him be in this movie. I would have carried the boy on my back to the set every day if that’s what it would have taken. Luckily, Leonardo is down-to-earth and walked by himself."

While the movie did not do well in the box office and had lukewarm reviews, it was nonetheless a pathway for DiCaprio to reach the roles that would transform him into the massive celebrity he is today. Stone writes that she was so impressed by the young man that she took a pay cut so that he would be in the movie. 

Stone was a co-producer of the film, as per PEOPLE, and even though she had auditioned many teenagers for the role of Fee "The Kid" Herod, DiCaprio was the only actor who did well in the audition. "This kid named Leonardo DiCaprio was the only one who nailed the audition,” she wrote in her memoir.

She goes on, writing, "In my opinion: he was the only one who came in and cried, begging his father to love him as he died in the scene." However, the studio did not share in her belief.

DiCaprio was still a relative newbie in the industry and the studio did not want to take a chance and cast him. In her memoir, she wrote, "The studio said if I wanted him so much, I could pay him out of my own salary. So I did."

Stone turned 64 in 2022 and looks as stunning as ever. However, she doesn't buy into the notion that one must look young to be beautiful. “I’m just happy – a happy person,” she said. “The idea that being youthful is the only thing that’s beautiful or attractive simply isn’t true. I don’t want to be an ‘ageless beauty’, I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.”

The star’s outlook on life and beauty is noted and appreciated by those around her. “Sharon is fearless and her zest for life is infectious,” said her make-up artist, Amy Oresman. “She understands what real beauty is: self-love and self-care. Her looks are timeless because she knows beauty is not an hourglass, slowly dripping into nothingness.”

The makeup artist added that Stone is a big fan of Augustinus Bader’s Rich Cream, Tom Ford’s Traceless Foundation, as well as “basically all of Tom Ford’s beauty products because he really understands women and allure at all ages”. Her favorite colors to appear in are nudes with a warm and peach-colored complexion and a “dash of sparkle.”

Stone’s mindset on appearances and beauty is inspiring to those around her. The actress and producer is adamant that women can be stunning at any age and continues to lead by example. “She is, once again, leading the charge and showing that women are as jaw-droppingly beautiful at 63 as they are at 27,” Oresman said in 2021.

Stone has shown her inner beauty and selfless nature throughout her career, and still stuns fans with her gorgeous appearance years after working as a model. At 64, she is a great example for younger women.
