This is an excerpt from his last Q&A...
***********************
Someone wrote a question about what happened with Robert Evans and THE COTTON CLUB. At the time I was supposed to do it instead of Richard Gere… whoops, here we go again. I was fairly intrigued, but privately my life was in shambles. My marriage was truly on the rocks and there seemed to be no salvaging the situation. So I began dating another woman at that time (who shall remain nameless) and slowly I was feeling better about myself. One afternoon I was invited to Robert Evans’ house to discuss doing the movie. I was completely on board until he said, “I might have something that’ll interest you.” Whereupon he returned with a duffle bag full of X-rated Polaroids. He dumped this mess on the coffee table and burrowing through all these poor actresses that thought they were going to eventually amount to something, he came across a very X-rated Polaroid of the girl I was dating and said, “Hey, look, we have something in common.” I thought blood was going to come out my eyes and felt such loathing at that moment. What was the man thinking? Is this his idea of bonding, by showing me a salacious image of the girl I thought was beyond anything so perverse? Guess not. Without a word, I exited his house and his life. Funny how Polaroids change the course of history.
******************************
First of all, what an a-hole. However, this got me reallllly curious. I want to know who this actress was. I assume the wife he was talking about was Brigette Nielson (only marriage of his I know about). So there must have been some record of who he dated afterwards. Anyone know?
