The conviction of Harvey Weinstein. I hope the film industry is in a different place compared to when you were there.” Los Angeles.”
He then asked: “When you look back at the beginning of your career, you see Hollywood producer Robert Evans recommending that you have sex to enhance the performance of your co-star, William Baldwin, in the ’93 movie Sliver. How do you feel? What did the producers tell you back then?” about?”
He replied: “First of all, you are setting me up with the ‘did you beat your wife’ comment, so first of all, I will not verify the statement you just made as if it were true. I will not do that at the beginning.

Stone and Baldwin’s turn
Initially, Stone made the allegations in her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice. In March this year, Stone chose to name the producer who she sensationally claimed told her to have sex with co-star Billy Baldwin.
Stone told Theroux: “He calls me into his office. The ’70s and ’80s had very low chairs, so I’m actually sitting on the floor when I’m supposed to be on set. And he’s running around his office with his sunglasses on, telling me he’s with Ava Gardner.” “He told me that he had slept with Billy Baldwin and that I should sleep with Billy Baldwin because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would be better and that we needed Billy to be better in the movie because that was the problem.”
Not sure why Sharon Stone keeps talking about me after all these years?
Does he still like me, or is he still hurt that I’ve been avoiding his approach after all these years?

He added: “There’s so much dirt on it it could have made her head spin but I kept quiet. The story of my meeting with Bob Evans begging her to let me choreograph the final sex scene in the photo below so she wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon so I didn’t have to kiss Sharon that’s just it.” a legend.
“I wonder if I should write a book and tell the many disturbing, salacious, and unprofessional stories about Sharon? That might be fun.”
