17. Sharon Stone

Probably still best known for her fantastic role in “The Basic Instinct,” beautiful Sharon is said to have an IQ of 154. When she was 15, she accepted a scholarship to study at Edinboro University.

She’s also praised for her involvement in peace promotion. In March 2006, Stone traveled to Israel to promote peace in the Middle East through a press conference with Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres.

In 2013, she referred to Peres as her “mentor”. On October 23, 2013, Stone received the Peace Summit Award for her work with HIV/AIDS sufferers.

She has recently stated that she feels she’s becoming a better person as she matures and that no one should be embarrassed of his/her age.

“I feel more grounded and more settled than I ever have. I don’t know whether that is to do with my spirituality or whether I’m wiser about life, but as you age you become more selective about what you listen to, devote your time to and who you hang out with.”

“I’ve never been willing to lie about my age. Why on earth would I want to tell people I’m 35, which I’m not, and have them say, ‘Oh that’s nice,’ when I could tell them I’m 47, which I am, and have them look at me and go, ‘Whoa!’. I’m not afraid of aging. I stopped being afraid of life a long time ago.”

Sharon is like a fine wine, only gets better with age.
