Sharon Stone’s Revelation: Hollywood Pressures to Engage in s**ual Acts

In her book titled “The Beauty of Living Twice,” set to release on March 30 by Knopf, the “Ratched” actress candidly discusses various instances of unwelcome s**ual advances she faced during her four-decade-long career.

While she commends some industry figures and co-stars, such as Michael Douglas from “Basic Instinct,” Stone discloses how an unnamed producer once coerced her into having real s**ual relations with a male co-star to salvage a struggling film.

The extravagant producer, wielding candy, reportedly urged Stone to engage in off-screen intimacy with her co-star.

In a revealing excerpt from her book featured in Vanity Fair, Stone describes the uncomfortable encounter where the producer spilled malted milk balls while pressuring her to create on-screen chemistry through a physical relationship.

Detailing the distressing incident further, the Oscar nominee reminisces about the producer boasting of his on-screen tryst with Ava Gardner, a statement that unnerved Stone due to the unsettling image it evoked.

Despite contractual rights to approve her co-stars, Stone laments how producers often disregarded her preferences and cast actors against her wishes.

Narrating her experience with the particular producer who insisted on casting an actor lacking in skills, Stone expresses her frustration at being sidelined for voicing her concerns.

She emphasizes the importance of talent and professionalism in filmmaking, rather than resorting to inappropriate demands.

Speculation arises regarding the identity of the producer in question, with some linking him to Robert Evans, the late producer of “Sliver.”

Evans, known for his work in “Love Story” and “The Godfather,” previously acted alongside Ava Gardner and had a documented acting career.

While representatives for Stone have not responded to requests for comments on these allegations, the actress recounts in the excerpt how she rebuffed the producer's advances and stood firm against compromising her principles for the sake of a film's success.

Despite facing unwelcome advances from the co-star afterward, Stone remained steadfast in her refusal.

In her memoir, Stone confronts any potential backlash head-on, asserting her resilience against attempts to shame or discredit her.

Through her raw and unfiltered account, she sends a powerful message that she cannot be silenced or manipulated by those seeking to exploit her in the industry.
