Sharon Stone has revealed the legendary Hollywood producer who urged her to have sex with a co-star for the actor to provide a ”better” performance, according to Page Six. The ‘Basic Instinct’ actress alleged that producer Robert Evans, who died in 2019, attempted to coerce her into having sex with Billy Baldwin while filming the 1993 thriller ‘Sliver’. On Tuesday’s episode of Spotify’s Louis Theroux Podcast, the actress revealed that the ‘Godfather’ producer summoned her to his office in the middle of her shoot and suggested that she get intimate with Billy Baldwin to salvage the picture.
”He called me to his office. He had these very low ’70s, and ’80s couches, so I’m essentially sitting on the floor when I should have been on set. And he’s running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would get better, and we needed Billy to get better in the movie because that was the problem,” the 66-year-old said during the podcast.
Sharon Stone previously wrote about the incident in her 2021 memoir
”And if I could sleep with Billy then we’d have chemistry on screen, and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie, and the real problem with the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f**k him and get things back on track. The real problem was that I was such a tight a**e,” she continued. Meanwhile, Mr Baldwin hit back at her accusations in a lengthy post on X and threatened to ”write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon.” “‘Not sure why Sharon Stone keeps talking about me all these years later? Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances?… I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I’ve kept quiet”, he wrote on X. He also shared a picture of him and Ms Stone during an intimate scene in the movie.
Stone previously wrote about the incident in her 2021 memoir, “The Beauty of Living Twice,” but did not identify the producer or actor. In the book, she revealed that a producer attempted to persuade her to have sex with her co-star to “have onscreen chemistry,” but she never did so. Stone writes, ”I felt they could have just recruited a talented co-star, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines. I also believed that they could f— him and leave me out of it.
