Harvey Weinstein auditioned an 18-year-old Romola Garai while wearing only a dressing gown in an encounter at the Savoy Hotel that the British actor described as humiliating and “an abuse of power”.
“The transaction was just that I was there,” said Garai, who once she was in the hotel room with Weinstein just sat on a chair and had a brief discussion about film.
“So I had to go to his hotel room in the Savoy, and he answered the door in his bathrobe.
Garai landed the role in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights but her uncomfortable experiences with Weinstein did not end there.
