Sharon Stone and her younger sister Kelly were abused by their grandfather as a child, the 63-year-old actress writes in her autobiography. The Beauty of Living Twice.
Stone’s grandfather, Clarence Lawson, was the one who assaulted the girls, being “helped” by his wife, who was also abused and mistreated.
The woman locked the girls with her husband in a room when they came to visit, something that started when the actress and her sister were just preschoolers. When Lawson died of a heart attack, Stone prodded his body that was in a coffin. “I was fourteen years old at the time. I wanted to make sure he was dead and this nightmare was over. Kelly was eleven years old at the time, but he understood immediately,” said Stone.
She says she does not regret the things she has done in her life. “That’s why I am literally an open book in my book: this is the truth, this is what happened. Maybe I have been through my life more than some people will ever experience, but I have now I have become very Zen and Buddhist. I have gained peace in my body. “
