New Yorker editor David Remnick referred to as B.S. on Barbra Streisand’s declare that she will’t keep in mind whether or not she ever had intercourse Warren Beatty, certainly one of Hollywood’s most famously seductive heartthrobs.
Streisand made that declare in her current memoir, “My Name is Barbra,” to which Remnick stated to her in a brand new interview this week: “Possibly the greatest line in the whole book, to my mind, is you say you can’t remember if you slept with Warren Beatty. Now, I don’t think anyone has ever written that line in the history of sex, or Hollywood, or anything.”
The 83-year-old “Funny Girl” legend stated about her Hollywood modern: “I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can’t remember if we actually had penetration. I swear to God, I can’t. There are certain things I block out.”
Remnick wasn’t having it, telling the multi-award-winning actor, singer and director: “I didn’t think I would ever say this in my entire life, but it might be that I’m calling (expletive) on Barbra Streisand. Is that possible?”
Once more, Streisand insisted she actually can’t keep in mind ever having intercourse with Beatty, although she stated they’ve been mates for many years, ever since they first met earlier than both of them turned well-known — when she was 15 and he was 21 within the late Fifties.
Maybe, Remnick ought to have reached out to the “Bonnie and Clyde” star to ask if he remembers having intercourse with Streisand. Then once more, the 88-year-old Beatty has by no means been recognized to be ungentlemanly sufficient to dish about any of his sexual conquests.
It’s additionally attainable that Beatty can’t keep in mind sleeping with Streisand both as a result of the Oscar-winning director and actor supposedly slept with a lot of ladies, beginning as a younger star within the early Sixties and persevering with via 1991 when he married Anette Bening and slipped into a lifetime of fatherhood and reported monogamy. Throughout these a long time, he was linked to greater than 100 feminine celebrities, together with Leslie Caron, Joan Collins, Natalie Wooden, Julie Christie, Diane Keaton and Madonna.
“Warren has probably been with everybody I know,” Cher as soon as stated.
In 2010, Beatty’s biographer Peter Biskind estimated that the variety of ladies Beatty had slept with could possibly be as excessive as 12,275, in keeping with The Guardian. In his e book, “Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America,” Biskind stated he arrived at this determine with “simple arithmetic.” He calculated the variety of days between Beatty shedding his virginity at age 19 to when he married Bening, and assumed that Beatty bedded a unique girl every day.
Though Biskind is thought to be a revered, completed movie author, his logic about Beatty’s intercourse life was thought of questionable on the time, The Guardian stated. And, Beatty refuted the 12,275 quantity in a 2016 interview with the AARP journal.
Barbra Streisand stars within the comedy “What’s Up Doc?,” which can be screened at SF Sketchfest in honor of its forty fifth anniversary.
Beatty insisted that his Don Juan fame was wildly exaggerated and that he couldn’t presumably have had intercourse with so many ladies. “Think about it, sleeping with 12,775 people,” Beatty stated, “not without a certain amount of glee,” AARP journal reported.
Beatty stated: “That would mean not just that there were multiple people a day, but that there was no repetition.”
However Beatty didn’t supply AARP a extra doubtless variety of lovers, even when simply as a number of hundred. The AARP author requested the “Shampoo” actor why none of those ladies ever acquired mad sufficient that they determined to promote their story about him to the tabloids.
“Look, I never misled anyone,” Beatty informed AARP along with his well-known appeal. “And … and I’m a nice guy.”
Streisand definitely appears to suppose Beatty is a pleasant man, as she informed Remnick: “I know we’re still friends. Every year on my birthday, he calls me and we have a wonderful talk about our lives, our children, and so forth.”
