People who slept their way to the top

Most of them.

Sarah Brightman, of course.

What?

Colton Haynes

Pretty sure he's slept his way somewhere, but... "the top"? That's debatable.

Do you know any bigger florists?

All of them, silly!

Pamela Harriman

Goop.

Ryan Reynolds. Executives.

Shirley Booth

Angela Lansbury

Who would want to fuck a woman as boney as Renee Zellweger?

William Frawley

That bradley faggot

Well ... our First “Lady”.

aka the Eastern European Whore.

R13 she wasn’t boney when she started

OP is an ahole who thinks women have to spread their legs to be successful. a-hole. What is your proof that either of them did?

Tremble with fear, OP! Nothing but sworn and notarized statements by both actresses will satisfy r18!

And you know this how, Op?

R18 is yet another twatweed blown in and needing to be eradicated.

God, the stench.

Goop and Uma Thurman.

Madonna slept her way to a record deal and her early hits.

r20 I read the news!

Chelsea Handler.

One who actually admitted it years ago was actor Aldo Ray. He said he let director George Cukor blow him to get a part.

Jack Cassidy (Cole Porter).

I don't think JLaw did, tbh. She has talent and more than likely got into the right casting office.

R24 she looks drugged out.

Mrs. Moonves

Joan Crawford

Marilyn Monroe

Barbara Stanwyck

Anne Boelyn

Wallis Simpson

Babe Paley

Jackie Ohhhh

Lee Radziwill

Cantinflas

Lassie

Zelda Rubinstein.

this one!

Lana Del Rey.

Marilu Henner proudly admitted that she was on every couch in town.

And with the exception of Barbara Bel Geddes, the entire female cast of Dallas won their roles 'the hard way'. How else to explain the careers of Charlene Tilton, Linda Gray, on and on and on.

R20, I wonder if they'll use that pic at the Academy Awards this year?

OP's mom - to the top of her favela. Deplorable, like whore mother, like bitch son.

70% of actresses and 50% of actors. I was being nice already

R12 = that common guttersnipe Julie Andrews

I have to say, one dame who I don’t think fucked any man unless she truly desired him? Cher.

What about Patti LuPone?

The ones who had no staying power.

Goop can draw Harvey’s erection with her eyes closed.

Nancy “BJ” Reagan.

For what it's worth, Gretchen Mol fucked her way to the bottom.

R36 directors and producers though? I don’t think sleeping with Tony Dana’s or Judd hirsch exactly helped her career.

She markets herself shrewdly though I have to hand it to her. She always kept working and kept her name out there, and her career lasted longer than really it ever had any business lasting.

I basically like her though.

Keanu Reeves, it couldn't be more obvious. Ask Charlie Sheen.

Renner

Olivia Wilde’s name came up as one of Harvey’s girls - more specifically Harvey used her for threesomes. Considering her mysterious amount of success, it explains a lot.

Sucking isn’t sleeping and nancy reagan was never at the top.

Olivia Wilde directed Booksmart, my favorite movie of 2019.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Lassie, that bitch!

Mariah Carey.

Zac Efron

Norma Shearer

It is weird to think Brad had to fuck for favors?

Have you been to LA? Beautiful people abound.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Jennifer Lopez who was sleeping with Tommy Mottola, then CEO of Sony Music, who launched her career.

[quote] I get a call from Tommy Mottola, who I have a great relationship with, and he's like, 'I need you to do me a favor. I want you to do this remix for Jennifer Lopez. - Irv Gotti

R50 In some stories Wilde comes across as a wing woman for Weinstein.

I remember there being a blind item about an actress who set up women to be assaulted by Weinstein. Most people here thought it was Jodie Foster or Meryl Steep, but I think it's Olivia Wilde.

It was Chloe from SMALLVILLE.

Cameron Diaz (with Harvey Weinstein to get a role in Gangs of New York)

Blake Lively (was a long-term mistress of Harvey Weinstein)

Vanessa Marcil (with Michael Bay to get a role in The Rock)

Jamie/James King (with Michael Bay to get a role in Pearl Harbor)

Megan Fox (with Michael Bay to get a role in Transformers)

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (with Michael Bay to get the role in Transformers 3)

Valerie Perrine (with Bob Fosse, to get a role in Lenny)

Ziyi Zhang (with Brett Ratner, to get a role in Rush Hour 2)

Roselyn Sanchez (with Brett Ratner, to get a role in Rush Hour 2)

strange how closely the 2 women resemble each other in the ops pic

OP is a gross troll who looks to demean talented, rich, and famous people by suggesting they only got to where they are because they fucked somebody. OP has no actual information about this stuff but still posts this stuff for the world to see, like a fucked up creative writing assignment where he hides behind a computer while interchangeably using celebrities names and suggesting they used sex to get to where they are.

OP also posts about actors and casting couches nearly every single day. Has it been for years now? He can't help himself.

Whitney Houston

Lol.

Kamala Harris

Renee Zellweger has maintained that she NEVER slept with Harvey and only ever had a professional relationship with him. However, that picture at R24 looks rather intimate to me.

Brad Pitt - at least to get a foot in.

I think Renee is a hard worker, but she is so average in every way, Harvey had a hand in her success.

She is an excellent actress. Plain looking women have their place in the movie industry too

Plain looking women are usually character actors, not the lead. She has been lucky (and miscast a few times)

r75 The biggest role of her career was centered around playing a woman that was a plain looking and slightly overweight. The success of Bridget Jones’ Diary was due to the character being so relatable. How is that a miscast?

Michelle Pfeiffer and Sharon Stone for sure

r76 miscast in Chicago

[Quote] Cameron Diaz (with Harvey Weinstein to get a role in Gangs of New York)

She's managed to avoid the MeToo debacle because of retiring.

[Quote] Ziyi Zhang (with Brett Ratner, to get a role in Rush Hour 2) Roselyn Sanchez (with Brett Ratner, to get a role in Rush Hour 2)

Well that's a bummer.

R64 But none of those women currently have thriving careers. Which suggests that there is another X Factor for long term success. Sexual favors can help but I think to sustain a long term acting career there has to be a significant degree of talent as well as goodwill from the public . I'm going to be controversial here but the only time I think sex can help a career long term is in the media and journalism world. I read some of the "work " of certain female journalists and the articles read as if they are written by a high school sophomore. Not to be crass but it's hard not to be suspicious when someone who writes or speaks like a child gets work for major publications and news networks . I hear Zelweggers name thrown about a lot but she is talented. I have no clue if she fucked Harvey or not but that could not alone have got her where she is.

What is it with gay guys thinking this sort of thing is so widespread? It isn't. It's barely even common, in any industry. Y'all whores need to stop projecting.

R21 Twatweed! I love it. And an elder would be Twatwood?

R80---given the pic upthread, I'd say that Weinstein got in a good grope, if not a full fuck. I'd imagine that the casting couch probably includes some things that fall short of penetrative sex.

Most of the twinks from the X-Men franchise

R24 What year was that photo taken?

R69

Whitney and Mel Brooks?

R80 Sharon Stone famously said, "You can only sleep your way to the middle."

According to rumor, Ratner also likes to proposition extras. He gives those who say yes a speaking role and makes sure it's not cut. If you're an unknown, that's a big deal.

Why is everyone looking at me, Hunter?

R84 speak for yourself bitch!

I do know of one who went there but I’m sworn to secrecy. I can give you a hint, though; his name rhymes with Lawngrass Floor.

When I saw The History of the World -- the Mel Brooks film -- I instantly thought whoever that girl was as his co-star: He's banging her every day! What a talentless cunt! And really not that cute but Mel was old at that time.

Jessica Tandy

We both slept with her, r90.

They say I sleep my way to top, but truth is, I do not sleep very good. But I don’t really care, do you?

OP is just naming actresses he doesn't like

If you want documented examples - Rock Hudson and Guy Madison (and probably a bunch of other guys) slept with agent Henry Willson. Rock also slept with an exec at Universal

Anne Francis Robbins bounced on a lot of balls to get herself onto the big screen and into the White House!

R95 I heard that Nancy Reagan blew Dino and Frank to get into the movies. Then she met Ronnie who had never been blown and he was BLOWN AWAY!!

R87 Sleeping your way into the middle is still a really big deal, though - wouldn’t you say? Jane Fonda acknowledges that if her famous name hadn’t opened doors and given her opportunities early on to show her talent, she probably would not have succeeded.

You used an example of nepotism to illustrate sleeping your way to the middle?

"Ziyi Zhang (with Brett Ratner, to get a role in Rush Hour 2)"

If this is sleeping your way to the top, the top must be damn close to the basement.

Michelle Williams, even if it involved a wedding ring. Without Heath, we'd have forgotten her long ago.

Aldo Ray was very good looking.

R99 It got her some buzz in the US (I was in college when Rush Hour 2 was released, and every straight guy I knew was in love with her), which almost certainly helped her get the lead in Memories of a Geisha. Unfortunately for her, that movie went nowhere.

Colin Farrell was "discovered" by Kevin Spacey

Every hot young guy in a Bryan Singer or Roland Emmerich movie.

I seem to recall stories about Zach Braff employing the casting couch for his follow-up to Garden State, which bombed anyway.

It must really suck (so to speak) to be an actors or actress that has sex with some asshole for a role, only to have the project fail.

This photo (Weinstein, Olivia Wilde at basketball game) was always interesting to me. They go to a very public arena (literally) and then have that "busted" or "caught" expressions.

Any pics of Weinstein as a young man? Was he always sloppy?

I guess not.

Birds of a cleaver

[quote]Any pics of Weinstein as a young man? Was he always sloppy?

R107 Weinstein and Steve Bannon go to the same groomer.

He actually doesn't look bad in this pic.

Several years ago I shared the infamous "Harvey Girls" article on The AV Club. People were so damn dismissive of it - one outright said that some of the women didn't need to use he casting couch because they're "genuinely talented."

I feel vindicated.

Wasn't Richard Rodgers notorious for it?

R113, yes

Speaking of composers, Cole Porter was also into "helping" young actors and singers

Halle Berry

R98 I used that as an example of just how much cutting your way ahead of other people can help a persons career. Whether that’s sleeping your way into the middle or via nepotism starting out in the middle.

Was not able to use an example of someone describing how they slept their way to a huge career boost because people don’t tend to admit to that sort of thing.

R112 Great article!!

R55 not true.

Mariah was at a party, Brenda K Starr gave a demo of Mariah’s songs to Mottola who listened in his limo and was so impressed he turned around but Mariah left the party. She went to the record company office a few days later with her mom to sign her deal. No time to fuck for a deal. Nice try, fool.

That's a story. It may be true, it may not be true.

R119 and a few years later she married the fat old ass... to ensure her career would be top priority among all other sony artists...

I have never believed Mariah's origin story.

Motown Records claimed that Diana Ross discovered The Jackson 5. That's not true.

Neither is it true that Gladys Knight discovered them. It was Bobby Taylor.

Who did Zellwegger fuck besides Heavy Whalestein?

MISS Diana Ross

Kamala Harris

Isn't it funny how everyone who employed Henry Wilsson as an agent always says it wasn't them who slept with Henry, it was his OTHER clients.

Burt Reynolds, Ryan O'Neal, any guy who starred on a western, on and on.....

Ryan Seachrest.

R99 it was basically her introduction to Hollywood (for those who hadn't seen Crouching Tiger).

R106 that's depressing considering she was previously married to a prince.

Robert Urich was "discovered" by Burt Reynolds

Ryan Seacrest was "discovered" by Merv Griffin

R106 Gross. Harvey's shirt is straining the buttons his belly's so big.

This is a bit off-topic but way back in 1978 Robert Conrad (The Wild Wild West) was on Merv Griffin's show. With Robert was a stunningly gorgeous young man no older than17 or 18, a 'rising star' to beat all rising stars, soon to take Hollywood by storm, but you saw him first on Merv's show.

The degree to which these two were salivating over and ogling the young head turner was so blatant and so beyond obvious—you know Merv with his oooohs and ahhhhs—that I still remember it all these years later.

And back to the topic: Heather Graham.

All of them! Wake up FFS. They are all overhyped and have success because they were sexual with the right people! 99% of them have narcissistic personality disorder just like pornstars! Conversation over!

R131 who was it?

I want to know, too!

Jon Erik Hexum.

R135 well that’s understandable. What gay wouldn’t be transfixed by this beauty?

Not me. Tommy and I were truly in love

Michelle Pfeiffer is an excellent actress, so the rest doesn't really matter IMHO.

R29, Jennifer Lawrence is minimally talented with no technique and an unphotogenic face. There has to be a reason why she was pushed so hard.

R131 R133 R135 So where is he now?

Answer #1 - Melania.

Olivia Wilde’s career has always baffled me and now it makes perfect sense.

"Jennifer Lawrence is minimally talented with no technique and an unphotogenic face. There has to be a reason why she was pushed so hard."

Please, she has been a good actress since she was a teen. Watch Winter's Bone. And she's not unphotogenic. Like I said, threads like these are often just a way for posters here to trash the actresses they don't like.

Off topic, but DAMN, O.J. Simpson was smokin' hot in R108's photo.

How about goodlooking guys who were hired by Mr. Spelling?

John Wayne . John Ford only hired gay models that would sleep with him.

Brad Pitt has zero charisma. Why is he a star?

Camilla Parker Bowles.

Former duchess of sussex!

[quote] Brad Pitt has zero charisma. Why is he a star?

Toxic whiteness, toxic heterosexuality, and toxic gentilism. Seriously, everything about the oppressor classes is fucking toxic.

Bradley Cooper

Golly, this thread has me madder than a wet hen! I never slept with Harvey. My daddy would never let his little girl sink to such levels! Y’all are just plain jealous! 🌵 🤠 🐓 🐄 !!!!!

How could I *not* when I’m packing this kind of leverage?

On screen, Brad Pitt has all the charisma in the world...that is why he is a star.

[quote] Sucking isn’t sleeping

Oh, Gwyneth...

[quote] Former duchess of sussex!

She still is the Duchess of Sussex and will remain so, even if they get divorced.

Does it count when, for example, a burgeoning starlet pairs off with an A-list movie star, or vice versa? It’s certain to lead to improved personal branding, exposure and greater access to opportunities.

Or to sleep one’s way to the top, does one have to bang an icky old producer?

Pretty sure Renee z and paltrow are gay. They are also pretty homely. Harvey is clearly not picky.

Ernest Borgnine

Bea Arthur

Don Knotts

I’m more interested on actor who bottomed himself to the top.

r160, that would be Colton Haynes. Except he only made it to the middle.

“Harvey is clearly not picky.”

Oh my GOD. Has anyone ever seen Harvey Weinstein? Every woman on planet Earth except The Gorgeous Whore Georgina Chapman would rather kill themselves than give birth to a child who might end up with his grotesque face and body.

Jabba the Hut doesn’t get to be picky.

R79 Is that Cameron Diaz?? When and where in the world is that video from?

Demi Moore.

R163 yeah that's Cameron from some "porno" she did.

R163 Nooooo! Get the fuck out of here LOL. Well at least it looks like she's having fun.

Diaz did "glamor"modelling, i.e. topless.

She does have great tits.

R168 great legs too.

Wilde, Paltrow and Zellweger all deny sleeping with Whalestein. Either they are the worst bullshiters in the business or Heavy Whalestein was putting on an act. I tend to believe the former as opposed to the later.

R170: Not exactly. They denied sleeping with HARVEY Weinstein. They still could hav shtupped his brother Bob.

Hav = have

R171 Interesting how little we've heard about Bob considering that he was a part of miramax too. A few months ago daily mail claimed that Bob had written Harvey a letter imploring him to stop his behavior, saying that it would destroy the business or something to that affect.

"Brad Pitt has zero charisma. Why is he a star?"

R147 That is your opinion only.

R170 They are all liars.

" A New York-based tabloid journalist told me recently that a model friend of his encountered Weinstein at a North American film festival a few years ago. According to her story, Weinstein told her that if she wanted to act, she should come to his office—at which point he proposed a threesome between the two of them and Olivia Wilde. (The model declined both the threesome and the meeting, and, fearing retribution from the famously vindictive Weinstein, has so far declined to go on the record with the story.)"

More! "According to Delevingne's statement, Weinstein made homophobic comments about her relationships with women and attempted to force her to have a threesome with an unnamed woman, along with other instances where he harassed her. "

I think that woman was Olivia Wilde.

Wilford Brimley

At this point, if any woman publicly *denied* fucking Harvey Weinstein, it would work in his favor. He's not going to argue back: "Yes, we did fuck!" He's got an active criminal case and just made some civil settlements, based on sex.

Princess Winifred the Woebegone. I gather pea was involved, too!

[quote][R147] That is your opinion only.

It is the opinion of everybody with taste and discernment.

R173: Was this the article?

[Quote] I think that woman was Olivia Wilde.

I think so too. I really do think she's better suited for television. But I also liked Booksmart.

R181 Yes that was it . Thanks

Nice detective work, R176.

R156 when the inevitable divorce announcement comes, which I expect to be soon, Meghan goes back to being plain old Meghan Markle z lister. She's no longer getting British citizenship. She does not keep the title. That said, Jennifer Lopez. She's a terrible actress with an annoying voice, and horrible singer. She can dance though.

Joan Crawford was a whore and Marilyn came close. Jessica Lange fucked everyone too. They're the most famous ones who made it to the top.

Greta Thunberg. Pamela Anderson. Zaha Hadid.

Rob McClure.

Greta? She hasn't even been kissed let alone fucked someone! Zaha Hadid? She had a face made for radio honey. She made Heavy Whalestein look hot. I wouldn't have fucked Zaha with your dick and blamed it on a Berniebro.

That picture at r181! Good lord those two men are hideous. Even when they were young. Ugh.

Bob Weinstein always looks like he's farting.

Olivia Wilde makes a lot of sense. She's super hippie. Between the threesome story at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival, wing woman stories and the fact that she was publicly chummy with Harvey for a few years there.

Without Harvey’s dick to suck Jlaw is over!!
