<p>Sharon Stone is getting real about her finances.</p>
<p>In an interview with Business Insider published on Friday, Aug. 1, the actress and producer, 67, admitted that she makes more money from modeling than she does from film work.</p>
<p>"I'm still modeling, and I still make more money today modeling than in film," she told the outlet. "It's still a huge part of my reality."</p>
<p>Stone also said that when her modeling career kicked off in the 1970s, she had wanted to be a director "but the pesky vagina stood in my way."</p>
<p>"Because how could you possibly have a brain and a vagina?" she continued. "It seems to have confounded so many."</p>
<p>The star recalled landing her first film role in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories, while she was out for model castings.</p>
<p>"I didn't have any money, so I would roller skate to all my modeling appointments," she said. "This was back in the Studio 54 period of New York City."</p>

<p>A casting agent let her know that the movie was casting extras. "He told me to go to this bus stop," she remembered. "Woody was actually sitting at the bus stop. [Casting director] Juliet [Taylor] had a podium placed in front of it, and she would look at everyone's headshots."</p>

<p>She continued, "So I roller-skated over there and had my giant modeling portfolio with me and showed it to her. She turned around and passed it to Woody in the bus stop. Then she said, 'Woody would like you to sit down with him.' So I skated into the bus stop and sat with Woody, and he looked at my stuff and didn't say anything, and handed it back to me, and I skated away. And I later found out I got the job."</p>
<p>Stone ended up with a small role as "Pretty Girl on Train" in the 1980 film.</p>
<p>The Basic Instinct actress previously opened up about her finances in 2024. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stone recalled losing her life savings after having a stroke in 2001, which led to a nine-day brain bleed and made her step away from Hollywood.</p>
<p>"I had $18 million saved because of all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone," she told the outlet. "My refrigerator, my phone — everything was in other people's names. I had zero money."</p>

<p>The star shared that rather than feeling "bitter," she chooses to focus on the positive.</p>
<p>"I decided to stay present and let go," she admitted. "I decided not to hang onto being sick or to any bitterness or anger. If you bite into the seed of bitterness, it never leaves you. But if you hold faith, even if that faith is the size of a mustard seed, you will survive."</p>
