At the Variety ‘Power of Women’ event in Los Angeles, actress Sharon Stone reflected on her evolution beyond her iconic status as a sex symbol. The 68-year-old star, recognized for her philanthropic work and advocacy for women's rights, discussed how her public perception has shifted since her breakout role in the 1992 film ‘Basic Instinct’.

Stone described herself as a product of the ‘American Dream,’ citing her pride in being the daughter of Joseph William, a factory worker from Pennsylvania. She emphasized the importance of female solidarity, noting that she draws strength from the community of women present.
