Sharon Stone says she was asked to sleep with co-star Billy Baldwin to perk up his performance. He says she's hurt because he rejected her. Now their film director reveals Brad Pitt's unwitting role in the poisonous sex scandal...


Fresh from the sensational success of her role in Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone hoped that in her follow-up erotic thriller she would star alongside a young Brad Pitt...

Having previously suffered three miscarriages due to endometriosis and an autoimmune disease, she was divorced in 2004 by her husband of six years, newspaper executive Phil Bronstein, lost custody of their adopted son Roan, and struggled to revive her movie career. She did herself no favours by attempting a comeback in Basic Instinct 2 in 2006, with its risible opening where she recklessly drove a Spyker C8 Laviolette sports car through London while sexually pleasuring herself, until she crashed into the Thames drowning her lover, improbably played by then England footballer Stan Collymore. Certainly, the suggestion that Evans — a legendary producer whose films included The Godfather, Chinatown, Love Story and Rosemary's Baby — might ask Stone to have sex with Baldwin to heighten their sexual chemistry surprised no one who knew the maverick former studio executive, who died in 2019.
