Warren Beatty slept with 12,775 women, claims biographer

[undeterred]

It may not be one of the great remaining mysteries, on a par with the nature of dark matter or the origins of the universe, but the question of how many women Warren Beatty has slept with certainly seems to have got New York's media-land in a froth.

Beatty's new biographer, Peter Biskind, estimates that the famously seductive star of Bonnie and Clyde and Reds has notched up 12,775 sexual conquests, including Isabelle Adjani, Diane Keaton and Madonna.

That's an impressive number. Even Don Giovanni could only claim a lacklustre 2,065, according to Mozart's librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte.

Biskind writes in his book Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America, that he arrived at the figure by "simple arithmetic". He appears to have worked out the number of days between Beatty losing his virginity at 19 and the date in 1991 when he met Annette Bening on the set of Bugsy and fell into monogamy, and then applied the admittedly questionable logic that during that entire period Beatty slept with an average of one woman a day. Biskind, an accomplished writer on Hollywood and author of Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, adds that for these purposes he ruled out "daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on".

This is supposed to make Tiger Woods look good.

[Libertas1776]

1. He's so vain

he probably thinks this song is about him.

[lisa58]

2. but whose counting?

[Libertas1776]

4. I wondered the same thing

Is there an assistant always at his bedside with a clicker or something?:rofl:

[undeterred]

10. Estimated based on every day since

he lost his virginity till he met his wife Annette. Like anyone's that 'lucky'!

[Me.]

3. How Many Men?

Just wondering

[TwilightGardener]

5. Ew. I'm sorry, that's just gross.

[GreenTea]

39. For Whom? Certainly not Beatty!!!

[Kalyke]

52. Yea... it's gross for him.

Who wants sloppy seconds?

He's a whore.

[Codeine]

56. Why? Sex is fun. More power to him. nt

[jpak]

6. Repent Buddhist!

:evilgrin:

[NBachers]

7. Bulworth

As a premise, it doesn't seem to fly, but as a movie, it actually worked for me. He had me with the word "Socialism."

[devilgrrl]

57. That movie was great!

Especially the insurance rap with those women. Cracked me up.

[LooseWilly]

67. I just keep remembering that he's assassinated at the end by the Health Insurance Companies.

When he starts talking about reform. (Well, that and he rips them off for a multimillion dollar life insurance policy.)

[DrDan]

8. this is such a load of crappola - 12,775 would be having a new partner each day for 35 years

I don't believe it for a second.

[Greybnk48]

23. yes, I did the math yesterday. It is definitely a bunch of hooey.

[xchrom]

9. Damn it! He beat me by one. Nt

[LynneSin]

40. yes but rumor has it he's still 10 behind Tiger Woods

:eyes:

[bigdarryl]

11. I guess he's trying to prove to Tiger he can get laid all the time to

[Buzz Clik]

12. What kind of a sick sack of shit keeps records?

[Rebubula]

24. LOLZ

I did...until I met Mrs. Rebubula.

Of course, for me it was easy because I barely got into double digits.

[leftstreet]

13. 12,775 women slept with Warren Beatty

[tonysam]

15. Same thing. What's your point?

n/t

[leftstreet]

17. You don't see the difference?

:shrug:

[tonysam]

20. No, I don't.

In Beatty's situation, it takes two or more to tango. He was into threesomes, etc., too.

He pursued them as much or more than they pursued him.

He ain't any victim. He's a damned boring shit, so I don't see how anybody could be attracted to him, no matter how good in the sack he supposedly is or was.

[leftstreet]

21. There's a DU thread "sexism in america: alive and well, and ruining our future"

check it out

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

54. I've seen it.

There's still no relevant difference between the statements.

[dustbunnie]

63. Not everyone can be as scintillating as the message board posters on DU... like yourself.

But apparently there were many positive customer testimonials in Beatty's case. He had the magical penis so the legend goes. Huge and knew what to do with it. There's something to be said for that, and this is why he was so popular. Those in the Hollywood know have claimed Matthew McConaughey has been blessed in a similar way. You may be above such earthy frivolity, but I think in my single days it would have sold me.

[tonysam]

14. Nothing to brag about, even if the real total is a fraction of that.

He's nothing but a scumbag. Annette can have this "great catch."

[undeterred]

22. Just think of all the STDs he was probably exposed to.

He should be impounded and quarantined.

[tonysam]

30. He should. It just makes me puke.

Ryan O'Neal was also known as somebody who would stick his dick in any woman who walked, at least before Farrah.

[Iggo]

36. Am I getting this right?

He's a scumbag because he slept with a lot of women?

EDIT: Just to be clear, it should be obvious that that 12000 number is complete bullshit.

[LynneSin]

41. How is he a scumbag? It takes two (at minimum) to have sex

These women knew his reputation and yet from what we know most were quite willing to sleep with him anyways.

[SteveM]

45. Hell, his reputation is WHY so many women wanted a sample...

Men have been routinely accused of being interested in little more than tits & ass. So, assuming women are no better or no worse ethically in their sexual practices, just what are THEY interested in?

Sexism, indeed.

[Kalyke]

53. I doubt he was a considerate lover.

I'm guessing most of these women slept with him only because he was famous. It's called, "Groupies."

[SteveM]

77. Hell, there was no time!

I guessing you are right. They wanted to catch his essence and precious bodily fluid!

[MineralMan]

16. Well, there goes his Nike endorsement contract, eh?

Maybe Trojan is looking for a spokesmoron.

[tonysam]

18. LOL!!! Maybe Viagra, too, if he can still get it up as old as he is. n/t

[CJCRANE]

19. I've slept 14,235

times in my life.

[Individualist]

25. "slept" with? Those must have been 12,775 boring women that caused him to fall asleep.

:evilgrin:

[tonysam]

27. He's the dullest, most boring celebrity

I have ever had the misfortune of watching in interviews and in films. He's not even that good an actor. I couldn't stand him on "Dobie Gillis," for God's sake. The worst thing about him is the fact he has a fruitcake for a sister.

How the guy EVER got laid in the first place is a mystery. He was never that attractive to begin with.

[Iggo]

44. Phew! Okay. Now I get it.

You're just fucking with us.

For a minute, I thought you might be an idiot.:P

[tonysam]

59. He IS dull. Have you ever watched him in interviews?

Frankly, I never saw what all of the fuss was about. I will cut him a little bit of slack, though, for he isn't as bad as his nutty sister.

[JVS]

61. I wonder how many women Bob Denver slept with! He was the true talent on that show!

[no_hypocrisy]

26. So, he wasn't acting in "Shampoo", huh?

[11 Bravo]

28. Wilt Chamberlain would not be impressed.

The Dipper claimed to have 20,000 notches on his bedpost.

[SteveM]

46. Yeah, I thought he was the Sultan of Spew (nt)

[TheWraith]

29. Oh please. Why not just pull a number completely out of one's ass?

Oh wait, this biographer just did. :eyes:

[G_j]

31. +1

[tonysam]

32. I think Beatty's pulled numbers out of others' asses

for a long, long time, if he was into that sort of thing.

[Scout]

33. what a slut you are Warren! n/t

[YOY]

34. If he can name them all I'll say we're equals.

Because I can name every woman I've ever slept with...(and it's not an impressive amount...but I had no idea it was a game.)

I just prefer not to.

[undeterred]

35. middle names too?

birthdays?

[YOY]

37. Some of them.

n.t.

[BR_Parkway]

38. I feel positively virginal again - thank you Warren

[NoGOPZone]

42. Gives new meaning to the line "and all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner." nt

[GreenTea]

43. I suppose when one is a democrat as talented, rich, famous, charming...

is 6'2 with a great body (Beatty a heavily recruited HS football star) and intelligent as the blue-eyed Beatty, it's an easy task to bed beautiful women. But he's been married now for years, to a sexy beauty, Anette Bening.

And I personally have always agreed with Beatty's liberal democratic politics, as they call him, "the country's number one democrat" and Beatty has been a huge fund raiser for the democratic party through the years!

Diane Keaton:
"I remember the first time I ever saw Warren. I must have been about 26," gushed Diane Keaton, who starred in the actor-director's Oscar-winning Reds. "It was at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. They used to have a bookstore there, and I was inside, and I looked out and saw him in the lobby. I thought, 'My God, he's so beautiful'. It was like there was a light. He looked at me for a second, and then passed me by. I thought, 'I'll never know him.'

[Maru Kitteh]

65. I find none of those photos attractive. He looks a shaved pre-human to me.

Like a Geico caveman with man-scaping.

[spanone]

47. what, did he have a fuck-o-meter attached to himself?

[devilgrrl]

48. Hopefully, he eventually learned how to do it properly.

eom

[Liberal In Texas]

49. Was he having a contest with Madonna?

She probably wins being able to combine both men and women.

[cali]

50. And I'm one of them.

Just kidding, but I did meet him once a long time ago.

[davsand]

51. Are you all saying sex once a day is out of the question?

Look, I'm not saying I celebrate Warren or anything, but are you all convinced he didn't do a woman a day?

You look at him now and see an older guy who has (by his own admission) been sexually active with a lot of women.) You are NOT taking into account the fact that he was a pretty well recognized star, he was pretty to look at, and he was around for the late 60's, the 70's, and early 80's--some of the most sexually promiscuous time ever.

He HAD the opportunity, IMO. He probably had the physical ability (once a day--c'mon folks!)

I just don't see this as being ALL that far fetched.


Laura

[tonysam]

60. No, not once a day.

Supposedly he had to have it up to SEVEN times a day; Joan Collins gave the hell up on him because he wore her out.

[wolfgangmo]

68. He wore out JOAN COLLINS?

Sweet jeebus.

[cbdo2007]

64. I don't think people here understand how much celebrities get the opportunity....

Male celebrities have women CONSTANTLY trying to hook up with them. Literally non-stop. I bet he could have done it with 10 women a day if he had wanted to.

[wolfgangmo]

69. I was only in a touring rock band - not even national.

More of a glorified Bar band but we had a following in the 7 state area. I was the drummer for pete's sake and I got offers every freakin' night. The lead singer litterally had them swinging from the light fixtures.

As the imortal Screamin Jay Hawkins once said to Robbie Robertson when offering him his first job as a guitar player at age 17, "son, the pay sucks, the hours are long, and you'll live on a bus.... but you'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra, so what do you say?"

I'm tempted to say some snarky comment about star f***ers, but I honestly think it is that women appreciate competence and confidence. And performers certainly have those qualities.

[davsand]

73. No man, drummers got rhythm and they know how to roll.

At least that was always what I was told by the drummer I dated. Can't say I ever noticed him lying to me, either. :evilgrin:


As for women appreciating competence and confidence, I'm sure that has to be it. Lord KNOWS everybody is thinking with complete logic at closing time--men and women alike!

:rofl:



Laura

[devilgrrl]

72. I'm sure he did accomplish this feat. He was always portrayed as a "ladies man" and he was cute.

It's more of a "So?" thing to me. :shrug:

[n2doc]

55. That must have been one huge bed! n/t

[Hassin Bin Sober]

58. What about Ned Beatty? Don't he get no love?

[JVS]

62. *Insert Deliverance joke here*

[pipi_k]

66. All on the same day with time left over for a turkey sandwich... n/t

:smoke:

[WI_DEM]

70. How would his biographer know the exact number?

[Hubert Flottz]

71. He must be a republican preacher on the side!

[gopwacker_455]

74. the biographer is a lying idiot.

[HuckleB]

75. And no STD's to put him out of commission for any period of time?

Seems unlikely.

:shrug:

[Jack Rabbit]

76. Musical Interlude for Warren Beatty and Tiger Woods

Please click here.

[bemildred]

78. 35 * 365 == 12775.

An interesting computation, which might indicate how this number was arrived at. One a day for 35 years, a new one every day mind you.
