A number of women who were up-and-coming in Hollywood in the 1960s are speaking out against the late actor Jerry Lewis.
Lewis apparently applied that carte blanche to women who costarred with him, according to aSharpe, now 87, said Lewis grabbed her, fondled her and unzipped his pants after ostensibly checking out how she looked in her costumes for “The Disorderly Orderly.” She said she refused to sleep with him and even offered to quit the film to avoid any awkwardness.When she got to the set days later, Sharpe says, she got the silent treatment — from everyone.
Holiday, who knew Lewis through her family, was cast in 1961’s “The Ladies Man.” She told VF about being called into a “garish” dressing room where Lewis pressed a button to lock her in with him once she sat down. He started to talk to her about her looks and her body. “Then he starts to talk to me about sex,” she said.
Holiday said she kept her mouth shut about it, fearing further recrimination because Lewis was “very big” at Paramount. “I didn’t want to shake the boat,” she said.The allegations against Harvey Weinstein are now set to culminate in a trial that is undoubtedly a landmark case for women’s rights. But despite the potential for a life sentence, advocates contend that the trial is just one milestone in a long crusade for systemic, lasting change.
But when she talked to executives, Taylor said, they thought she was “one of Jerry’s girls” and didn’t believe her story about him seeing her perform on TV. They joked in front of her about Lewis’ sexual prowess. “They thought it was very funny and were boasting,” Taylor told the magazine. “I thought it was so gross.”
