Sharon Stone had a burst aneurysm in 2001, but is only recently ready to talk about it in public.

She is wonderfully direct about it:

She says it took two years for her body just to absorb all the internal bleeding from a brain aneurysm .

“It almost feels like my entire DNA changed. My brain isn’t sitting where it used to, my body type changed, and even my food allergies are different. I became more emotionally intelligent. I chose to work very hard to open up other parts of my mind. Now I’m stronger. And I can be abrasively direct. That scares people, but I think that’s not my problem.

I read the original article and it sounds more like a vertebral artery dissection... which I think one of the PandaWhalers has had!
