Beloved by movies audiences as a pratfall-prone, goofy presence onscreen, Hollywood icon Jerry Lewis was a sex-crazed predator who harassed and sexually abused his co-stars, several women claim in a new report.

The explosive allegations are featured in a Vanity Fair story and accompanying short documentary by Oscar-nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, who interviewed the actresses as part of a larger project about misogyny and abuse in the entertainment industry.
