built 264 days ago
Beatty first espied future long-term lover Julie Christie at the 1967 Royal Command Performance of the film Born Free (1966) in London, which he attended with his then-girlfriend, Leslie Caron. Caron and Beatty were situated near Christie in the reception line for Queen Elizabeth II, and Beatty first saw Christie in person when he turned to watch the Queen shake hands with her. Beatty inveigled his friend 'Richard Sylbert' to tell her to call him. She did, he flew up to the San Francisco location of the Petulia (1968) shoot and, after a rocky start, they became lovers. She made her first public appearance with Beatty at a sneak preview of _Bonnie and Clyde (1967)_ for the Hollywood elite. It took them several months to rid themselves of their then-current lovers before they came together in a committed relationship, although they usually maintained separate households for the length of their long romance.

Hollywood star WARREN BEATTY was once abandoned in bed by two women who sought to teach the notorious womaniser a lesson. Former lover SANDRA GRANT - who later married crooner TONY BENNETT - recalls the time Beatty asked her for a threesome with her pal NANCY BRETZFIELD. The pair undressed the BONNIE AND CLYDE star before settling into bed, but the girls never returned to the bedroom. She says, "He was adorable, but he had to be taught a lesson."
