Sharon Stone has revealed the name of the Hollywood producer and studio executive who she said pressured her to have sex with her "Sliver" co-star William "Billy" Baldwin.
In a Monday episode of "The Louis Theroux Podcast," Stone, 66, said one of the film's producers, Robert Evans, pressured her to sleep with Baldwin, now 61, in an effort to get a "better" performance from the actor in the 1993 film.
"He called me to his office. … He had these very low, '70s (or) '80s couches, so I'm essentially sitting on the floor when I should have been on set," she told British-American journalist and host Louis Theroux.
"And he's running around his office in his sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner," she said. "And I should sleep with Billy Baldwin because if I slept with" him, his "performance would get better. And we needed Billy to get better in the movie, because that was the problem."
Evans died in 2019. A rep for Baldwin declined to comment.
The "Basic Instinct" actress said Evans believed her having sex with Baldwin would give the pair better "chemistry on screen" and would "save the movie."
She continued: "And the real problem in the movie was me. Because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just (expletive) him and get things back on track."
Stone was also frustrated that the producer wouldn't listen to her "list" of casting suggestions.
"They expect me to go from Michael Douglas to Billy Baldwin," Stone said of her "Basic Instinct" co-star. "I didn't have to (sleep with) Michael Douglas. Michael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up."

She continued: "Now, all of a sudden, I'm in the 'I have to (have sex with) people' business."
Stone first told the story in her 2021 memoir, "The Beauty of Living Twice," though she did not name the producer or her co-star at the time.
Stone has been forthcoming with her experience dealing with sexual harassment in the film and TV industry.
In November, Stone told Kelly Ripa on her "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast that during a meeting with a former Sony head executive in the 1980s, he exposed himself to her. Stone did not name the former executive.
Evans was a studio executive at Paramount Pictures, which produced the 1968 film "Rosemary's Baby," 1970's "Love Story" and 1972's "The Godfather" during his tenure.
Evans is credited as a producer on "Sliver," the 1980 film "Popeye" based on the comic strip starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall, and the 1974 film "Chinatown" starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. He died in 2019 at 89.
