She was once described as a "tough-talking, no-underwear, voyeuristic, cool-as ice sex symbol". So perhaps it should come as no surprise that Sharon Stone is in the driving seat when it comes to her love life.
The Hollywood siren revealed recently she's not keen on anti-ageing procedures. And when she recently dated a younger man who asked if she used Botox, she told him, "It would probably be really good for your ego and mine if I did."
She says she saw that particular suitor just "one more time after that" before he disappeared from her life.
"If you don't see me for more than that," says the 64-year-old frankly, "you'll please find your way to the exit."
The mum of three adopted sons - Roan, 22, Laird, 17, and Quinn, 16 - has never been shy of grabbing attention.
In 1992, she shot to superstardom in the erotic thriller Basic Instinct with Michael Douglas and has been a household name ever since.
More recently, she has starred in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-inspired Netflix drama Ratched and season two of Neon's The Flight Attendant.
She also made waves on social media earlier this year with a photograph of herself laughing by a pool in a bikini. Sharon explains the snapshot was taken one afternoon by a friend.
"I posted it because I feel like women become invisible once we become mums, and you're 45 and people walk by you like you're not there," says Sharon.
