Sharon Stone began her career as a model and is still just as glowing as ever in her 60s. The actress celebrated her 66th birthday on March 10, 2024, 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. Now, new snaps of her lounging poolside in a plunging swimsuit and looking as stunning as ever have everyone clamoring to find out what her secret is.
While growing up in Meadville, Pennsylvania, Sharon began entering pageant competitions, where judges encouraged her to try modeling. She then moved to New York City, where she signed with the Ford Modeling Agency. She then transitioned to acting and rose to prominence in the 1990s, portraying femme fatale figures.
After her film debut in “Stardust Memories,” she went on to find fame starring in movies such as “King Solomon’s Mines,” “Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold,” “Total Recall,” “Basic Instinct,” “Last Action Hero,” “The Quick and the Dead” and “Casino.” She proved she was more than just a pretty face as well, earning critical acclaim and accolades for her talent as an actress, including being nominated for an Academy Award for her role as Ginger McKenna in “Casino.” She did, however, win a Golden Globe for the role. She has also won an Emmy Award for guest starring in “The Practice.” She received her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1995.
Owing to her incredible screen presence, Sharon is still an in-demand actress now, despite being a veteran in the entertainment business. Read on to find out how she keeps herself happy and healthy at 66.
Sharon has had a soaring career with a personal life filled with ups and downs. Her first wedding was to television producer Michael Greenburg in 1984. She became engaged a few times until 1998 when she exchanged vows with journalist Phil Bronstein. However, their pairing was also not to be, and they divorced in 2004.
During Sharon’s marriage to Phil, the star suffered numerous miscarriages due to an autoimmune condition called endometriosis, which results in infertility and difficulties carrying a child to full term. In her final attempt in 2000 to have a child naturally, tragedy struck.
“I had to go through painful surgery – and 36 hours of labour – to deliver a stillborn. It was on our way home afterwards, one of the darkest moments of my life, that I got a call from an adoption lawyer: he had a client with a baby boy due in a few weeks. Would I be his mother?” Sharon wrote in an essay in Vogue.
Six weeks later, Sharon became the mother of her adopted son Roan Bronstein. After divorcing Phil, Stone went on to adopt two more children – Laird Stone in 2005 and Quinn Stone in 2006.
“I’m now a single mother with three adopted sons, and it has been the great privilege of my life to raise them. When you adopt, you realise any child could be your child, any person could be your relative. After that you never see the world in the same way again,” she described her life now.
In December 2022, Sharon made space in her home and heart for yet another child, but this time, under more unfortunate circumstances. When the single father of one of her son Roan’s friends passed away due to Parkinson’s, Sharon decided to take him in, according to the Daily Mail.
Sharon’s memoir “The Beauty Of Living Twice” detailed many experiences in her life, one of which was her decision to back the young Leonardo DiCaprio’s role in Sam Raimi’s “The Quick and the Dead.” In 1995 after the release of the movie, Sharon 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 at 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. Sharon wrote that she was so impressed by the young man that she took a pay cut so that he would be in the movie.
Sharon 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 went on and wrote, “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 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.”
Sharon turned 66 in 2024 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 told Vogue. “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, in 2021. “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.”
Sharon’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 continued.
Sharon regularly posts photos of herself exuding this timeless beauty in swimsuits that show off her lean figure on Instagram. She has earned the admiration of the likes of top model Naomi Campbell and fellow actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who lauded her in the comments of one picture that showed her relaxing cliffside in a plunging black one-piece.
The same sultry swimsuit made a comeback in her Instagram feed on Aug. 23, 2022, in a picture of her with candle designer Tina Manning, stylist Brandy Snow and Jennifer Lazarus. Still looking as toned and fit as ever, Sharon also shared some insights into her health routine with WSJ magazine.
She told WSJ magazine her routine consisted of eating a healthy breakfast that “comprised mainly of fruits, getting at least eight hours of sleep and relaxing in baths.”
“My favorite breakfast is watermelon with feta cheese and mint, with olive oil and salt and pepper,” she said. “And then I usually have a piece of gluten-free sourdough toast with that and an herbal tea.”
Exercising is also an important aspect of Sharon’s daily life.
“During Covid … I started devising different things that I just did for myself. I think squats are really important. If you do squats every day, that really does get your whole body together,” she said, adding, “I was a martial artist when I was young. I haven’t practiced in decades, but I still like to do my punches.”
“I like to plank, and I have (young sons) so we do planking contests to see who can plank the longest. They can plank for half an hour,” she said.
Another workout she enjoys is swimming, as she explained, “I really like to swim, and I find that the butterfly is a really great overall workout for me, and a stroke that really works for my body overall.”
As with exercise, recovery is also key to a healthy mind and body.
“Last night I was getting a really bad muscle ache, body ache, headache, and I took a bath in Dead Sea salts and arnica. And that was really, really, really helpful. So I sort of use herbs and teas as medicine. If my stomach’s upset, I drink lemon and ginger teas and peppermint teas and these kinds of gentle herb things. I’m very gentle with myself and the things that I use.”

The actress has continued to showcase her stunning body and wonderful personality on her Instagram account. On Aug. 27, 2022, Sharon uploaded yet another gorgeous photo of herself wearing a bathing suit. She stunned in the colorful bikini in a sweet candid shot. She captioned the photo:
“Why do I always get in shape when summers over? 🤷🏼♀️😳”
While the actress may have thought she was at her peak as summer came to a close, we think she looks absolutely incredible all the time! Fans and celebrities left plenty of encouraging comments on the photograph, telling Sharon how great they believed she looked. Many of them were also sure to include the fire emoji.
It’s not hard to see why the actress has so much confidence as she has grown to love her imperfections. According to PEOPLE, Sharon was once broken up with by a younger partner for refusing to use Botox any longer, but that only made the actress more confident.
Speaking with Vogue Arabia, she explained how she encountered several medical problems following the time when she used to get Botox and filler, resulting in her having a “massive stroke” and needing more Botox to help make her face symmetrical. Afterward, Stone decided it was time to stop with the cosmetic procedures.
And after her former partner asked her if she used Botox, she only saw him once more before he broke up with her. “If you don’t see me for more than that, you’ll please find your way to the exit,” Sharon said.
Nowadays, Sharon loves her life. “I feel like this is the most exciting and creative period of my life,” she said. “I feel really, really happy. I’ve never been this joyful.”
While Sharon’s appearance has been a topic of conversation for many years, the actress explained that she doesn’t believe beauty is everything. She also said that if you are beautiful, it doesn’t mean that is your only quality. She told Allure:
“People are incredibly unkind. They think if you’re beautiful, you must be stupid, you must be shallow. If you’re beautiful, we should make you feel small or less. Every person has gifts. And if beauty is one of them, we should accept it and enjoy it as a gift from nature… If someone’s beautiful, for God’s sake, let them be beautiful.”
Back in July 2022, Sharon amazed fans once again with a beautiful bikini photo that she posted on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Gratefully Imperfect on a Perfect Day ❣️.”
Sharon’s summer body returned to Instagram on July 7, 2023, when she posted yet another snap of her trim figure. The photo showed Sharon in a flaming hot, one-piece swimsuit with a plunging neckline as she stood with one hand opening her fridge door and the other holding a drinking bottle. She also donned a plethora of hefty gold necklaces and captioned the post:
“Healthy Ish Happy Summer.”
Fans were quick to comment on the star’s timeless beauty, with many remarking on how incredible she looked in a swimsuit.
“You look so great in that suit!!! Help us women out!! What is your secret??” one user said while another wrote, “The summer weather is ALMOST as HOTTTT as YOU are, Goddess Sharon!”
A third user commented: “Lady, you’re crushing people in pickleball, have muscle tone that 20-somethings would die for, and are hydrating. 😘 This doctor says you’re seeming pretty damned healthy! 🔥”
