The Last Seduction/Linda Fiorentino Peter Berg Bill Pullman

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Fiorentino  "Maybe others see in me what I don't necessarily see in myself. And a lot of it in Hollywood has to do with what you look like. I'm dark and my eyes are dark and my voice is deep, and how the hell could I play a Meg Ryan role, the way I look?"^[28]

Noted for her "raven hair, intense gaze and low voice",^[6] Fiorentino was placed No. 66 on the 1995 edition of Empire's list of the 100 Sexiest Stars in Film History by a reader's poll.^[2]

Linda Fiorentino was Hollywood's most dangerous woman in the 1990s. She starred in Men in Black and made studios millions. But at 67, she lives like a ghost. She writes handwritten letters and grows tomatoes in a remote cabin. Locals call her "ghostly polite." She turned down $200,000 from Netflix just to stay hidden. But why did the woman who once seduced audiences completely vanish? The truth involves FBI secrets, a billion-dollar scandal, and Hollywood's darkest power players. Her disappearance wasn't by choice.

What the “lost 50% of her authority when people found out who she slept with” statement implies

That statement suggests a turning point in which, because her sexual identity or past becomes known, her influence, reputation, or “authority” among others diminishes — a sort of “exposure causes fall from dominance.”

“the woman lost 50% of her authority when people found out who she slept with” in The Last Seduction. Here is what I discovered (and why the claim seems unverified):
