The Basic Instinct actress had to leave Hollywood for seven years while she healed after suffering a stroke in 2001 that resulted in a nine-day brain bleed.
Over that period, people took advantage of me,” the American actress told The Hollywood Reporter.
Because of all my accomplishments, I had $18 million (£14 million) saved, but when I reopened my bank account, everything was gone.
“Everything, even my phone and refrigerator, was registered in other people’s names.
“I had zero money.”
The 66-year-old actress stated that she chooses to concentrate on the good aspects of her experience rather than harboring resentment.
I choose to let go and be in the now. I made the decision to let go of my illness, as well as any resentment or rage,” she remarked.
Bitterness is a seed that, once you bite into it, never goes away. However, you will survive if you have faith—even if it’s as small as a mustard seed. I now live for delight. My life has meaning.
