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"

Still one of the best dressed men. I would kill to have his tailor who is oddly, Frank Foster, the now famous tailor responsible for fashionable skinheads (e.g. Nick Knight).

I could never understand what made him so desirable. Does he stick $20 bills in their vaginas?

to paraphrase another actor: "I've got the TEETH, I've got the HAIR"

in Mark Harris' new book about the films of 1967, Beatty comes off as the only guy who could irritate Godard and Truffaut equally.

i think being handsome, rich, and famous does it for a lotta chicks.

banriquit, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 22:18 (fifteen years ago) link

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!

dell, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 22:21 (fifteen years ago) link

The only time I ever found him hawt was watching him learn Russian in Reds (then the scene with the dog barking killed it).

Think, alf, think. Not just hair or teeth. Skin. Clothes. Cheekbones. Manicure. Car. House. Power. Money. Fame. Not a lot of women can stand up to that package. xp

all those things do not add up to a big package.

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.”

Great. The Dark Detective.

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.

Never understood his appeal. Not a bit. He looked like poached salmon, even as a yute.

Don't those kind of statistics suggest he's also had at least 300 men, if only by accident?

WARREN BEATTY says he’ll spare no expense on his son’s education – but he refuses to spend a single cent on gender reassignment surgery.

Warren and his wife Annette Bening have told their 20-year-old son Stephen Ira – born Kathlyn – that they’ll even pay the living expenses and tuition bill for an advanced degree, but that’s where the free ride stops!

“Warren is ada­mant about not shelling out any of his hard-earned mon­ey for Stephen’s sex-change operation,” a family friend told The ENQUIRER. “The whole concept of gender-bending is very difficult for Warren to accept. While he’s finally come to terms with his little girl living life as a man, he can’t fathom the thought of paying for the actual procedure.”

“Warren and Annette both agreed they’ll pay for Stephen’s schooling. He’s basically on his own after that.”
