A young Jane Fonda wondered if Warren Beatty might be gay...
This is a hoot!
Warren Beatty may be happily married to Annette Benning (and raising their four kids) but before settlong down in his 50s, he was involved with some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. He was involved with "Shampoo," "Heaven Can Wait" and "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" co-star Julie Christie for many years, "Reds" co-star Diane Keaton, and "Splendor in the Grass" co-star Natalie Wood not to mention an egagement in the early 60s to Joan Collins and dating Madonna in the early 90s. Even Cher claims to have lost her virginity to Beatty.
That's what makes Jane Fonda's recent thoughts about Beatty to writer Gregory Speck all the more amusing. She made her first screen test in 1957 with the then-unkown Beatty who had not even made an appearance on "the Many Loves of Dobie Gilllis."
"At the time I suspected thatWarren might be gay, because he was so cute and had so many unusual, intellectual friends," Fonda told Speck. "Well, how wrong can you be? He became legendary as a great lover, so I missed out on a good thing back then."
It sound\s like Jane was just about the only leading lady who did miss out!
