Warren Beatty has lashed out a new biography that claims the Bonnie & Clyde actor had sex with approximately 12,775 women. “A figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on,” author Peter Biskind told the New York Post. “Other media should not repeat things from the book on the assumption that they are true or that the book is an authorized biography,” Beatty’s lawyer told the Huffington Post. Can we repeat them on the assumption they are awesome?
While no one denies Beatty was a playboy before settling down with Annette Bening in the early ’90s, excerpts from Biskind’s book are juicy enough to explain why he’s not accepting the high-fives. Details include Jane Fonda‘s ability to “virtually unhinge her jaw,” Beatty propositioning a very pregnant singer Carole King out of scientific curiosity and Fran Drescher declining a threeway with him and Isabelle Adjani—not exactly the stuff that snags you a Lifetime Achievement trophies at Hollywood award ceremonies (at least the ones on TV). Biskind’s book, Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America, comes out this week.
