This Intellectually Gifted Child Grew Up To Be Model-Turned-Major-Movie-Star Sharon Stone (VIDEO)

Like any famed movie star, Sharon Stone has had what most would consider an exceptional life. As a veteran actress, she’s appeared in award-winning films and mingled with Hollywood’s elite, but Stone’s first real experience with an “abnormal” lifestyle actually began in her childhood, as she tells “Oprah’s Master Class.”

From a very early age, Stone says, she wasn’t like other kids — she was more mature, less child-like. It’s a quality she believes that even those closest to her had trouble reconciling. “I think it was just very alarming for my mother to be talking to a very short, tiny, little adult, who was having structured, thoughtful, wise conversation,” Stone says.

“Oprah’s Master Class” airs on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network.
