Barbra Streisand ‘can’t remember’ if she ever had sex with Hollywood actor Warren Beatty.
In a recent interview, the A Star is Born icon, 83, was asked about an anecdote from her 2023 autobiography, My Name Is Barbra, in which she described a fling with the Dick Tracy actor.
In response, Barbra explained that she still has no idea if she slept with Warren.
‘I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can’t remember if we actually had penetration,’ she told The New Yorker. ‘I swear to God, I can’t. There are certain things I block out.’
And despite their romantic involvement in the past, Barbra insisted she’s ‘still friends’ with the Bonnie and Clyde star.
‘But I know we’re still friends. Every year on my birthday, he calls me and we have a wonderful talk about our lives, our children, and so forth. So we’re still friends. I met him when I was fifteen years old, and he was twenty-one, I think,’ the 83-year-old smiled.
Barbra has been married to James Brolin since 1998, while Warren, 88, wed Annette Bening in 1992.
James and Barbra – who both have children from previous relationships – married after they met on a blind date at a dinner party in 1996.
‘I can’t tell you how lucky I am that this would happen to me so late in life,’ James said in his wedding speech. ‘Every night is a new adventure. Sleeping is a waste of time. I can’t wait to see her again in the morning.’
At the bash – attended by the likes of John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Quincy Jones and Sydney Pollack – Barbra serenaded James with two new songs.
Elsewhere in the conversation, the Evergreen hitmaker shut down a report suggesting she’s set to return to Broadway for a revival of Gypsy.
‘Oh, my God! But why would I ever do anything on the stage again like that? I mean, it was horrifying. I loved the rehearsal process. I loved learning every day and experimenting,’ she said.
Talking about her autobiography, Barbra also discussed growing up without a father after he died when she was a baby, and her mother failed to fill in the blanks.
Her mother, Barbra suspects, was jealous of her fame. Through writing the book, Barbra’s view of her mother changed from anger to sadness that she never fulfilled her own dreams of being a singer.
