🎯 聽之前

Sharon Stone talks about a small-town childhood, a long climb in Hollywood, and what it feels like to age in public and stop caring what people think.

  • How does she describe where she grew up, and what did she want to get away from?
  • Which moments does she call turning points in her career?
  • What words does she use for aging: fear, freedom, or something else?
  • Listen for how Michelle and Craig react when she says something blunt.
