Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Robert Evans had pressured Sharon Stone to have sex with Billy Baldwin to ‘improve’ his performance on set.
Evans, best known for his work on Rosemary’s Baby and The Godfather, died of natural causes in 2019. He was 89.
Recalling the moment, the Basic Instinct actor said that she “should’ve been on set” but was told to meet Evans in his office to discuss her chemistry with Baldwin, now 61.
Sharon Stone has disclosed the identity of the film producer who she claims demanded she sleep with her co-star in the 1993 film Sliver to improve his acting performance.
The actor alleged that Robert Evans, the Hollywood mogul who headed production at Paramount and died in 2019, told her to have sex with William Baldwin.
The Hollywood star had initially revealed the meeting in her 2021 memoir but without disclosing the identities of those involved.
Stone told the Louis Theroux podcast that Evans claimed she was responsible for addressing Baldwin’s poor acting in the film about a woman discovering tenants’ secrets after moving to an exclusive New York City apartment building.
She said: “[Evans is] running around his office in sunglasses explaining that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because [then] his performance would get better.
“If I could sleep with Billy, then we’d have chemistry on screen and save the movie. The real problem was me because I was so uptight, and not like a real actress who could just fuck him and get things back on track.
“The real problem was I was such a tight-ass.”
Stone rose to fame in the 1980s and 90s, appearing in hit films such as Total Recall, The Mighty, Casino, The Last Action Hero and Basic Instinct, where she starred opposite Michael Douglas.
The Independent has contacted Baldwin’s representative for comment.
The 1993 mystery thriller saw Stone play Carly, a successful book editor who, after moving into a luxury apartment building, discovers that several female tenants have been murdered. She then becomes romantically involved with the prime suspect (Baldwin).
“[Evan’s] running around his office in his 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,” Stone remembered. “And we needed Billy to get better in the movie, because that was the problem.”
Explaining Evan’s logic, she said: “If I could sleep with Billy, then we would have chemistry on-screen, and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie.
