Illeana Douglas: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

In his expose for The New Yorker, journalist Ronan Farrow presents allegations of sexual misconduct by CBS chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves and spells out what appears to be a climate of sexual harassment and looking the other way at CBS.

Farrows report includes not just one or two women, but several women, many of whom go on the record, who describe disturbing and systemic patterns of sexual misconduct by Moonves.

And worse.

Like actor and writer Illeana Douglas.

Douglas is an actress, writer, director, producer, host of Turner Classic Movies' show "Trailblazing Women," and author of the my-life-in-movies podcast and book, "I Blame Dennis Hopper.

The story shared with Farrow is at once harrowing and infuriating.

Moonves, 68, has been married to CBS personality Julie Chen since 2004.

Chen defended her husband on Twitter.

Farrow won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's alleged systematic and serial incidents of rape and sexual misconduct.

Here's what you need to know about Illeana Douglas' allegations:.

Illeana Douglas Met Les Moonves in 1996.

He Was a Fan & Wanted Her at CBS.

  Publicity shot for Search and Destroy.

Every photo I love I'm going for the it's 1962 right?? A post shared by Illeana Douglas (@illeanarama) on Apr 9, 2018 at 1:00pm PDT.

Douglas, Farrow writes, met Moonves in 1996 when she was shopping for a TV show to write and act in.

Moonves was the recently named president of CBS Entertainment.

He showed interest adding he was a fan of her performances in Martin Scorsese's "Cape Fear" and "Goodfellas" and wanted her to work with his network.

Douglas told Farrow it was a "big sell" where he suggested she'd make it big with a "…house with a pool, you're gonna love it, it's a great life." And she agreed to a deal: $300,000 for the rights to her exclusively.

But the show she wrote, they canned and instead put her to work in a show called "Queens." A year after meeting Moonves, as the show was set to pilot, Moonves called Douglas' manager and said there was a problem with Douglas and fellow actor and show co-star, Penelope Ann Miller.

Douglas was stunned because in a reading, CBS honchos laughed and Mooonves gave her an atta-girl.

Moonves requested to meet Douglas alone.

The two had been working together for several months by that point, she told Farrow.

"He seemed more than just my boss.

He was very much like a father figure," Douglas told Farrow.

Douglas' Meeting With Moonves Turned Into a Sexual Assault.

When she met with Moonves to talk about the show, she said he pivoted to the personal and asked if she was dating anyone.

Douglas told Farrow her and Scorsese's relationship was "coming to an end" and she "didn't know what to say at that point.

I was, like, 'I'm single, yes, no, maybe.'" And Douglas pivoted back to the TV show but Moonves was persistent.

Douglas told Farrow that Moonves said it would "…just be between you and me.

Come on, you're not some nubile virgin.".

Douglas said Moonves, "in a millisecond, he's got one arm over me, pinning me" and began "violently kissing" Douglas pressing her down onto a couch with her arms raised above her head.

Douglas told Farrow, "What it feels like to have someone hold you down—you can't breathe, you can't move.

The physicality of it was horrendous.".

Douglas said she laid weakened under Moonves: "You sort of black out.

You think, 'How long is this going to go on? I was just looking at this nice picture of his family and his kids.

I couldn't get him off me.".

Douglas next describes what can only be called an attempted rape: Moonves had an erection, yanked her skirt up and then began to "thrust against her.

" It was then she told Farrow, her "fear overcame her paralysis.

"At that point, you're a trapped animal," she told Farrow.

"Your life is flashing before your eyes." Moonves asked her what she took as a question about his performance: "So, what do you think?" Douglas told Farrow she decided to use his status as her boss in her answer: "Yes, for the head of a network you're some good kisser.".

Moonves was not pleased, got up and Douglas grabbed her bag and began to leave but Moonves blocked her way out, pushed her against a wall, pressed his body against hers with his face in hers, she said.

Douglas told Farrow the episode was "physically scary." Moonves said they should "…keep this between you and me, right?" Douglas said she repeated the boss line: "No, sir, we won't tell anyone that you're a good kisser.".

Moonves let go and walked away.

Douglas said the attack "…has stayed with me the rest of my life, that terror.".

Douglas told Farrow she cried when she left Moonves' office: "My skirt is all twisted.

I'm standing in the hall and I thought of his family." Douglas told Farrow that Moonves's assistant offered to validate her parking.

Douglas said she remembers "thinking, 'Does she know? Does this happen all the time?'" Once in her car, Douglas said she "lost it.

I felt sick.".

At that moment, she got a call from her manager who said Moonves had just called to say the meeting went well and they'd had fun.

Douglas told Farrow, "I thought, Oh, my God, he's covered his tracks.".

Douglas Told a Friend & Even Though She was Sexaully Asaulted by Moonves, She Was Afraid to Report Him.

Initially deciding to "bury it" Douglas told a friend later that day what happened.

The friend was actor Craig Chester who told The New Yorker, "She was trying not to cry, but her voice was shaking.

I've never seen her that emotional before.

She said that he got on top of her and held her down and she couldn't get away.

If it was any other situation outside business, I would have said, 'Let's go to the cops.'".

But going to the police and reporting what happened would mean her career would be over.

And maybe worse: "…career suicide.".

Moonves showed up for rehearsals, and eyed her in an attempt frighten or threaten her, she told The New Yorker.

Douglas said she was shaking and thought she might pass out.

People noticed.

Penelope Ann Miller told The New Yorker, "There was obviously something going on with her emotionally.

When she came in to test, everything was on.

And then, after, on set, it was like she wasn't there.".

In 2017, Douglas told Miller what Moonves did.

Miller told The New Yorker, "Hearing her story, it all made sense.".

At the next rehearsal, Moonves cursed at Douglas saying she wasn't "even trying.

" But she inferred Moonves was referencing her refusal to "comply with his advances and to maintain her composure afterward.

Douglas told The New Yorker that even with staying quiet about what he'd done, Moonves was "berating me." She said she cried on the set and was unable to act in the comedy.
