Sharon Stone, 65, is agelessly radiant in gold as she gets UN prize

Sharon Stone was agelessly radiant as she stepped up onto the stage at the United Nations Awards Gala in New York on Friday.

She was being honored that evening with a Global Citizen Of The Year Award by the United Nations Correspondents Association. 

The 65-year-old Casino star remained a blonde bombshell, though there were streaks of grey in her slicked-back flaxen locks.

For her latest glamorous public appearance, she draped her still enviably petite frame into a glittering gold dress that fell flatteringly over her curves.

Sharpening her features with naturalistic makeup, including nude lipstick, the Basic Instinct star framed her glowing complexion with an extravagant pair of earrings.

She was presented with her gong by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, who before his present eminence was Prime Minister of Portugal.

Sharon flashed her megawatt smile to the audience and proudly held up her trophy as António led the room in a round of applause for her.

One day before she got her award, cementing her status as a grandee, she gave an interview looking back on her early days in the chaotic world of 1970s modeling.

When she was 15, she had graduated high school and gotten a scholarship to study creative writing at Edinboro University Of Pennsylvania.

But her plans were derailed after her brother Michael went to jail after being arrested with 2lbs of cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

Michael had been dealing, and his associates in the criminal underworld began menacing his family in order to prevent him from giving up their names.

In her new interview, Sharon said that she left town ‘Because my brother was in trouble. He went to Attica. I was 19 when I went to Italy on my own.’

Sharon, who also told her life story in a memoir two years ago, set the scene in her conversation with Artnet: ‘It was intense because it was the late ’70s.’

She recalled: ‘It was a very wild time to be a kid on your own in New York, Italy, Paris, and Germany – the whole Studio 54 period.’

The Quick And The Dead star noted: ‘Fortunately for me, because my brother was already that guy, I was no longer interested. I was the person who would go to Studio 54 and just drink Cokes and dance all night.’

Said she: ‘It was really a fun time, but it was very crazy. There were a lot of dangerous things that happened. I was able to navigate through the majority of them.’

She acknowledged: ‘Still, certainly a number of awful things happened, and a number of young girls that I worked with died. There were no guardrails at all. Really young girls were wildling in those days without supervision.’
