I skimmed through a biography of the man in a bookstore...one of the best examples of how being successful in yr chosen field, being filthy rich, and having virtually unlimited access to yr choice of sexual partners does not equal "happiness"

he's a good-looking dude, of which there are no shortage of in Hollywood, obv...but, also, presumably he's managed to communicate a charismatic, sexay vibe
one of my favorite parts of the "Raging Bulls, Easy Riders" book is when it talks about him having whispery, hushed-toned late-night/early dawn conversations with Robert Towne. Please bring on the transcripts of that shit!

Uh?
Actor Warren Beatty has filed a federal suit for control of comic-strip detective Dick Tracy. The film idol bought rights to the character two decades ago from the Tribune Company in order to make his 1990 hit movie version of the square-jawed, tough-talking gumshoe. The sale allowed Tribune, the original publishers of the classic strip, to take back the rights if Beatty didn’t film another project. Tribune, which owns the Los Angeles Times, recently sent Beatty a letter saying time is up and it is reasserting control of the character. But the actor claims he should retain the rights because he started filming a Dick Tracy TV special earlier this month. His attorney declined to say where or when the program will air, but insists the 71-year-old is far from done with the detective. “Warren has always viewed Dick Tracy as a very valuable, interesting iconic character,” said attorney Charles Shephard. “He has all sorts of creative thoughts about what he might do with this character.”

the NY Times had a tiny boring item on this that named a lot of Beatty's well-known lovers as "alleged" -- Caron, Keaton, Christie, Madonna etc. However it left out Vivien Leigh and Molly Ringwald.

In Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In, TCM host Ben Mankiewicz invites film critic Leonard Maltin over to his office as he prepares for a Zoom call with the famous comic strip and movie cop, Dick Tracy. Tracy (Beatty) calls Mankiewicz and Maltin on Zoom — Beatty is seated in a black void while wearing Tracy’s trademark yellow hat and overcoat — first to compliment Mankiewicz on an interview he did with Beatty for TCM some time earlier. Then “Dick Tracy” explains his issues with the movie Beatty made about him in 1990, while he watches clips from the film. A good five minutes of this 30 minute show were literally just Warren Beatty dressed as Dick Tracy watching the Dick Tracy movie while muttering things like “Yes! Yes, that’s good!” and “No! No! That’s terrible!”...2023’s Tracy Zooms In special builds to Maltin adding the “real” Warren Beatty to the Zoom call, and — as Mankiewicz and Maltin look on in disbelief — the two Beattys get into a rambling debate about the Dick Tracy movie and moviemaking in general.
