Alfred A. Knopf announced Tuesday that the 62-year-old actor will reflect on everything from her painful childhood in Pennsylvania to such films as the star-making erotic thriller āBasic Instinctā and Martin Scorsese's mobster epic āCasino,ā for which she received an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe award. She'll also write about her two marriages, her near-fatal stroke in 2001, and her humanitarian work on behalf of AIDS research and other causes.
āStone in these pages echoes the Stone who made headlines throughout her career: she is courageous, honest, and outspoken, refusing to pull any punches when discussing aspects of the trauma and violence she endured as a child and how her chosen career as an actress echoed many of those same assaults,ā Knopf said in a statement.
Stone's other movies include Albert Brooks' āThe Muse,ā Jim Jarmusch's āBroken Flowers,ā and āThe Laundromat,ā a Steven Soderbergh film released in 2019.
