Warren Beatty admits he's a "control freak," an actor, director and producer who weighs every detail of the movies he makes. Last week he was agonizing over the first draft of his newest script--the one about his possible real-life plunge into politics. In his Mediterranean villa atop Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, he worked on an op-ed piece about the evils of money in politics, the economic disparities in American life--and why he just might run for president to "shine a flashlight" on both. For each statistic he wanted backup: magazine articles weren't enough; he wanted to see the government studies. There's a way to come into a room and be invisible, he tells friends, and a way to come in and dominate it. He wanted to do the latter--but not by falling flat on his face.

Beatty tried to break this streak of dull romantic heroes and heels by starring as a nightclub comic on the run from mobsters in Arthur Penn’s semi-experimental drama “Mickey One” (1965). The picture found few champions in the press for its grotesque characters and downbeat tone, but did signal Beatty’s interest in tackling offbeat projects. He returned to Hollywood in the lightweight comedy “Promise Her Anything” (1965), with a script by William Peter Blatty, but the picture earned more headlines for the romance between Beatty and his married co-star Leslie Caron. Having moved on from and broken Wood’s heart – which caused the fragile actress to attempt suicide – Beatty was now being named as a co-defendant in Caron’s subsequent divorce from director Peter Hall – and was even forced to pay court costs. The latter scandal firmly established Beatty’s reputation as one of Hollywood’s leading Lotharios, a label he reinforced by squiring such movieland beauties as Ann-Margret, Joan Collins, Catherine Deneuve and countless others during the 1960s.

Beatty had expressed interest in the great role of a divorce lawyer who cheats on his beautiful wife. Beatty decided against doing the bittersweet movie much of which takes place in Venice, Italy.

Hollywood didn't take Beatty too seriously until 1967, when he played opposite Faye Dunaway, in Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde is best summed up in the tagline, "The strangest damned gang you ever heard of. They're young. They're in love. They rob banks." The movie was controversial because it was violent.

"Truth is, I haven't made a lot of movies," Beatty said. "I fact, I think somebody said about me that every single movie that I made from the beginning was a comeback. So, something like this really is enough to make a guy go out and make another movie."
