Dolly Fox corroborates Bill Clinton tale in Charlie Sheen's memoir

Dolly Fox, Charlie Sheen's ex-girlfriend, has confirmed a claim in Sheen's new memoir that Bill Clinton tried to flirt with her in the 1980s. The anecdote centers on the 1987 filming of Three for the Road in Arkansas, when the cast visited the governor's mansion.

In The Book of Sheen, the actor writes that he was answering a reporter's question when Alan Ruck overheard Clinton whisper to one of his aides, "Find out what you can about the brunette." The brunette was Dolly. Fox told Page Six she confirms the episode and notes her ties to the Clinton circle: her mother, Yolande Fox, was Miss America 1951 and hosted political events at her Georgetown home; Hillary Clinton and Fox's mother became close friends; Clinton’s mother, Virginia Kelley, was also a friend of Yolande, and the households even hosted Clinton inaugural events. Fox says Monica Lewinsky's mother was a friend of her mother, and she adds, "You can’t make it up. I have pictures of President Clinton holding my 5-year-old daughter." Fox, who dated Sheen in the 1980s, says she has long maintained ties to people in Clinton's orbit and that the anecdote has taken on new layers of context as memories from that era resurface.

The account sits alongside the broader backdrop of a Washington social scene in which families and former Miss Americas moved within overlapping political and entertainment circles. Fox emphasizes that she did not raise the issue with Clinton directly at the time, and she says she viewed the era as one in which such behavior was not uncommon or publicly scrutinized the way it would be today. "There was no 'Me Too' yet, so I was used to it. I laughed it off," she told Page Six. She adds that the most striking part of the episode may be Sheen recounting it to rehab patients years later, including his self-described blunt line about the future publication of the memory.

Sheen writes in the memoir that he relayed the Clinton encounter to fellow patients in rehab, recounting that he was detoxed and not believed by some listeners. The book captures a blend of Hollywood recall, prickly political history, and the personal anecdotes that have long followed the actor through his career and personal life. "I was still pretty faded on detox meds and no one believed me," he writes, describing the moment he decided to document the episode for a broader audience. "I literally said out loud to the group huddled around the TV, ‘It’s kool, I’ll put it in a book one day and you can all go f–k yourselves.’ (And here we are)."

The publication of Sheen's memoir drew renewed attention to Clinton-era social circles and their intersections with film sets and political life. The New York Post’s coverage of Fox’s corroboration notes that Clinton’s representatives did not provide comment by publication time. The Clinton camp has historically characterized such anecdotes as partisan or sensational, but Fox’s statements add another layer to a story that has circulated in tabloid and entertainment coverage for years.

The broader question of accuracy rests on the cross-reference of Sheen's memoir, Fox's statements to Page Six, and any additional corroboration that may emerge. While Page Six reports Fox's claims and her family connections to Clinton-era figures, no independently verified records accompany the key anecdote at this time. As with other such claims from public figures about private interactions within political and entertainment circles, confirmation from multiple sources remains essential for a fuller, verifiable portrait of the events described.
