Sharon Stone has revealed the identity of the producer who pressured her to have sex with a co-star for the first time - as well as the actor she was pushed to get intimate with in order to help their on-screen chemistry. Stone previously addressed this situation in her 2021 memoir - without disclosing identities - but has now revealed that the producer was Robert Evans, the actor was Alec Baldwin's brother Billy, and the film was Sliver in 1993. Evans died in 2019; he was also a producer on Chinatown and The Cotton Club, and headed production at Paramount for The Godfather, The Italian Job, True Grit and The Great Gatsby. Sliver was Sharon's next movie after achieving huge success in the previous year's hit Basic Instinct. On Louis Theroux's podcast, she said: “They expected me to bring home another giant smash hit and they gave me casting approval and they gave me all these approvals, but then when it came time for me to do it they told me it was a vanity deal and I couldn't have my approvals. Then they started to try to blame me for their mistakes, and they made terrible mistakes in the way that they hired directors and cast.” She said Evans called her to his office to make the request for her to sleep with Baldwin. She said: “He called me to his office. He had these very low seventies, eighties 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.”
