I just don’t understand the mathematics behind this new Warren Beatty book. So he slept with a woman every day for 35 years? What about the days when he was travelling and in airports all day? What about days when he was hiking in remote areas of the Amazon jungle? What about days when he was filming with an all-male cast and crew?
Also how is it possible to keep count and come up with the figure of 12,775 conquests? Did he have a black book or multiple black books, or perhaps an Excel spreadsheet where he’d also enter grades and comments, and create pie charts? One night, many years ago before I had children, I couldn’t sleep and I tried counting (and naming correctly) the number of pubs I had visited inside the Oxford ring road. I remember reaching 67. I wonder if Warren Beatty does something similar when he can’t sleep? He could work through the 12,775 ladies year by year – by name and location.
I’m sure Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America by Peter Biskind is a fascinating read for any man who has slept with less than 5,000 women.
