Sharon Stone Names Co-Star She Was Told She Had To Sleep With To ‘Save’ A Movie

Sharon Stone is very much spilling the tea on some pretty bad Hollywood behavior.

The “Casino” star touched on an incident in her 2021 memoir , “The Beauty of Living Twice,” in which a producer told her to have sex with a co-star to improve his bad acting, but kept the names of the producer and actor anonymous.

Stone went into detail about the incident with Theroux earlier Tuesday.

“He’s running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner, and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin,” Stone said of Evans 39 minutes into the podcast episode. “Because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would get better.

Stone added that Evans didn’t think that Baldwin’s bad acting was the real issue with the movie.

“The real problem in the movie was me because I was so uptight,
