Sharon Stone has named the producer she claims suggested she should sleep with a co-star.
The Basic Instinct star alleges Hollywood mogul Robert Evans told her to have sex with William Baldwin while filming the 1993 thriller Sliver.
The Hollywood star initially revealed a meeting in which she was pressured to sleep with a co-star in her 2021 memoir but did not disclose the identities of those involved.
Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Stone named the executive as Evans, who died in 2019.
She claimed he told her she was responsible for improving Baldwin's performance in the film, which is based on the Ira Levin novel of the same name about the mysterious occurrences in a New York high-rise building.
She said: "[Evans] is running around his office in sunglasses explaining 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.
"If I could sleep with Billy, then we’d have chemistry on-screen and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie"
Responding on social media, Baldwin said: "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?"
Stone also said she never got a good part again after 1995's Casino and described herself as "the invisible actress".
