Sharon Stone has posed nude for American fashion magazine Harpers Bazaar for a photo spread to accompany an interview in which she talks openly about her struggle to rebuild her career after suffering a massive aneurism in 2001.
Stone, who was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar for Martin Scorsese's Casino in 1996, has never been shy about revealing her physical attributes.
In 1990, she did a nude photo shoot for Playboy in a bid to jumpstart a career that had stalled in the years since she debuted with a brief cameo in Woody Allen's 1980 comedy Stardust Memories. In 1992's Basic Instinct, the film that made her for a period one of Hollywood's top stars, she fleetingly and famously uncrossed her legs to reveal that her character, Catherine Tramell, did not have any underwear beneath the striking white dress she wore to her interview with Michael Douglas's police detective.
In the role that made her a star, as Catherine Tramell inBasic Instinct.
It was a bold gesture that cemented her in the public mind, but the new shoot is in some respects far braver.

Stone is now 57. "I'm aware that my ass looks like a bag of flapjacks," she told the magazine. "But I'm not trying to be the best-looking broad in the world.
"At a certain point you start asking yourself, 'What really is sexy?' It's not just the elevation of your boobs. It's being present and having fun and liking yourself enough to like the person that's with you. If I believed that sexy was trying to be who I was when I did Basic Instinct, then we'd all be having a hard day today."
