Heidi Thomas: In 1984, Heidi Thomas was twenty-seven years old, and Cosby
was forty-six. Thomas wanted to be an actress and a model. Her agent told her that
Cosby was looking to mentor a promising young talent. Eventually, Cosby invited
Thomas to Reno for some personal acting lessons. Thomas believed that she would be
staying at a hotel, but, when she got to Reno, a car took her to a ranch house where
Cosby was staying. Cosby arranged a room in the house for her. When they were the
only two people left in the house, Cosby asked Thomas to audition for him by pretending
to be an intoxicated person, which she explained to Cosby would be a challenge for her
because she had never been intoxicated. Cosby asked how she could play such a role
without ever having had that experience. So, he gave her some wine. Thomas drank
only a little of the wine before becoming extremely intoxicated. She faded in and out of
consciousness. At one point she came to on a bed only to find Cosby forcing his penis
into her mouth. She passed out and awoke later feeling sick.
