Sharon Stone has brought to light a dark chapter from her past, revealing the name of the producer who allegedly pressured her into an intimate encounter with co-star Billy Baldwin for the sake of a “better” performance during the filming of “Sliver” in 1993.
On the “Louis Theroux” podcast, Stone recounted the unsettling encounter with producer Robert Evans, describing a bizarre meeting in his office where he insisted on the intimate connection between Stone and Baldwin. Stone, now 66, expressed her frustration, detailing Evans’ belief that their on-screen chemistry would “save the movie.”
Stone’s candid revelation extended to her discontent with the filmmakers who ignored her casting suggestions, expressing that her uptight attitude became a perceived obstacle. She contrasted her experience with Michael Douglas, emphasizing the professionalism he brought to the set.
This shocking incident wasn’t new to Stone’s audience, as she had hinted at it in her 2021 memoir, “The Beauty of Living Twice,” without disclosing names. However, this time, Stone decided to name the individuals involved, shedding light on the alleged industry pressures she faced.
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.

In a surprising turn, co-star Billy Baldwin responded to Stone’s claims, contradicting her narrative. Baldwin took to social media to counter Stone’s version, alleging that it was Stone who made advances on him during the screen test for “Sliver.”
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?

The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him to allow me to choreograph the final sex scene so I wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon is an absolute legend.
Baldwin continued to hint at untold stories about Stone and contemplated writing a tell-all book.
“Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun.”
