News about William Baldwin

William Baldwin is reflecting on the life and career of a Hollywood original, Donald Sutherland, following his passing on Thursday, June 20, after a long illness at the age of 88. Of the more than 200 films and television roles on his resume, Baldwin got to work alongside the late actor on three productions, including the action drama Backdraft (1991), the sci-fi thriller Virus (1999), and the ABC drama series Dirty Sexy Money (2007-2009). After having played his onscreen son Patrick Darling IV for two seasons on Dirty Sexy Money, Baldwin said it turned out to be 'by far my favorite' of the three. 'Donald was a complex, complicated and quirky man in the most delicious way, he said in the statement on X. 'He had a gentle, childlike boyish streak in him that I absolutely adored. His persona onscreen and his personality in life were as interesting and original as the features on his face.' 'He was a true original. A one of a kind,' Baldwin continued. 'I have never known anyone remotely like him. His many incredible qualities and somehow even his flaws made him more unique, more charming... more lovable.'

Sharon Stone, fresh from her role in Basic Instinct's epoch, hoped that in her follow-up erotic thriller she'd co-star a young Brad Pitt. The actress imagined herself filming steamy scenes in which her character, a book editor, was literally pushed out of her sexual life by Pitt's pretty boy charms. But Stone's hopes were shattered when 29-year-old Pitt was named as her leading man in Sliver by William Baldwin (above left).

In Billie's Magic World, which was shot in Italy last spring, William and Alec (seen inset) co-star together. He said that as soon as filming finished, the 65-year-old had asked when the pair would return to another project. William, 60, said his brother (seen right on the set of Mission Impossible Rogue Nation) would be back soon because he needs to make money to pay for all his seven children.'

Alec Baldwin, 64, is hoping for a return to work after the deadly Rust shooting and will return to Broadway next year. The embattled actor, as well as Tony Shalhoub and John Leguizamo, is expected to appear in a new interpretation of the play Art in the New York Times on Tuesday. Baldwin has admitted that he has had trouble finding jobs since the Rust crash that claimed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' life last fall. He is currently embroiled in a police probe into the deadly circumstances.
