Actress Louisa Moritz added her name to the list of Bill Cosby's alleged victims, accusing the 77-year-old comedian of assaulting her during an appearance on The Tonight Show.
Moritz, now 68, was the star of the 70s show Love American Style and played Rose in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. She told TMZ Thursday she was attacked while waiting to appear on Johnny Carson's show at NBC's New York studios in 1971.
She said Cosby walked into her green room, telling her how impressed he was with her work and "implied that he was going to see to it that I will become a major star through his direction."
Cosby, Moritz said, "took out his penis, which was now in line with my face, and pressed up against it."
"He took his hands and put them on the back of my head and forced his penis in my mouth, saying, 'Have a taste of this. It will do you good in so many ways.'"
Moritz has never spoken about the incident until now. While the statue of limitations has run out, she told TMZ she plans to file a civil suit.
Cosby's lawyer, Marty Singer, called the accusation "ridiculous."
"We've reached a point of absurdity," he said. "The stories are getting more ridiculous."
Singer moved to discredit Moritz, who went to law school and was admitted to the Bar, but is not eligible to practice law. According to documents available on the California Bar website, Moritz violated rules of professional conduct by failing to submit quarterly reports.
Moritz was the third woman to level accusations at Cosby on Thursday, and the eighth to do so publicly.
Actress and former Playboy Bunny Carla Ferrigno said Cosby grabbed her and kissed her while at his home in 1967, and nurse Therese Serignese said she was drugged and raped by Cosby in Los Vegas in 1976.
They join Andrea Constand, director of operations at Temple University's basketball team, actress Barbara Bowman, music industry publicist Joan Tarshis, model Janice Dickenson, retired attorney Tamara Green and 10 other women who remain anonymous.
