Sharon Stone’s Revelation About Robert Evans  

Stone, on the podcast, shared, “He called me to his office. He had these very low ’70s and ’80s couches, so I’m essentially sitting on the floor, when I should have been on set.” She added, “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 her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, the actress explained that she was in an uncomfortable position when her producer asked her to get intimate with her co-star. In the book, she wrote, “He walked back and forth in his office with the balls falling out of the spout and rolling all over the wood floor as he explained to me why I should f–k my co-star so that we could have on-screen chemistry.”

She continued, “Now you think if I f–k him, he will become a fine actor? Nobody’s that good in bed. I felt they could have just hired a co-star with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines.” However, the Basic Instincts star had not revealed Evans’ or Baldwin’s identities in her book.
