Oct 20 : As a pre-50th birthday philanthropic deed, Sharon Stone has donated a closet full of clothes and furniture to a charity for abused women.

The ‘Basic Instinct’ actress also gave away a room full of unwanted furniture from her Los Angeles home.

And the actress has admitted that the big give was “exciting and freeing”.

She added: “So I called them and said, ”Can you send me 20 of these?”
