  1. >“I walked out of that hospital, 18% of my body mass gone, dragging my right foot, unable to write my own name,” Stone, 66, tells PEOPLE exclusively while hosting the American Heart Association (AHA) Red Dress Collection Concert on Jan. 30. She said following the stroke, she was “unable to remember anything.”

    >And yet, the Basic Instinct star tells PEOPLE, “I’m right here hosting this ball on two feet in five-inch heels, and I can do it, and I made it, and you can too.”

    >“When it happened to me, there wasn’t a program that would help me walk again. There wasn’t a program that would stop my stuttering,” Stone explains. “There wasn’t any aftercare, and certainly, insurance companies are us f—ing us right and left, and there wasn’t any insurance to help me. There wasn’t anything. And I’m sure that there’s probably even less now.”

    >But the Casino alum said she wants people to know they can — and should — fight to survive: “I want to say to people, ‘You can do it.’ And I want them to look at me and know, [I had] a husband that was divorcing me, with everybody fighting to take everything, with the bank, who had taken $18 million all my life savings. I had nothing. I had no money. No career.”

    >“I was destitute with a 1% chance of surviving,” Stone, who calls herself a “proud survivor,” tells PEOPLE.

  2. I didn’t know this. I just worked on a movie with her and he had a big action role in it. So crazy, what a come back.

  3. I was destitute, then I opened my mail and cashed my royalty checks that come every month and went on a few talk shows and I was rich again. I truly know the hardships of the poors.

  4. How bad was her divorce that her ex husband would divorce her during this period? Yikes.

  5. Rich people destitute is different from real people destitute
