Sharon Stone has revealed the name of the producer who tried to force her to have sex with her co-star in order to improve their on-screen chemistry.
The 66-year-old actress previously discussed the situation in her 2021 memoir without revealing names, but has now revealed that Robert Evans was the producer, Alec Baldwin's brother Billy was the actor, and the film in question was the 1993 film Sliver.
Evans, who died in 2019, also produced Chinatown and The Cotton Club and headed Paramount's production of The Godfather, The Italian Job, True Grit, and The Great Gatsby.
Sliver was Sharon's next film after the huge success of Basic Instinct.
"They expected me to give them one giant hit, and they cast me in the role...Then they tried to blame me for their mistakes, and they made terrible mistakes in the way they hired directors and actors," the actress said on Louis Theroux's podcast.
According to her, Evans called her from the set to his office to ask her to sleep with leading man William Baldwin off set.
“He's running around his office with sunglasses on, explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin because if I sleep with Billy Baldwin, his performance will improve.”
Sharon said that hearing his demand reminded her that he had not listened to the casting list she had suggested for the role of Baldwin.
“I didn’t have to fuck Michael Douglas. Michael could come to work and know how to achieve his goals. Now suddenly I was in the ‘I need to fuck people’ business...I felt like they could have just hired a talented co-star to act and choreograph the scene and remember his lines. I also thought that they could fuck him themselves and not involve me in it. It was my job to act, and I said so. This was not a popular answer. I was considered difficult."
