Whether depicting Robert Altman's fondness for whorehouse blowjobs in Easy Riders, Raging Bulls or character assassinating Harvey Weinstein in Down and Dirty Pictures, Peter Biskind has a tendency for getting sued. Now he's readied his lawyers for the release of Star: The Life & Wild Times of Warren Beatty.
The Stella Adler-trained Warren Beatty acted Off Broadway before following big sis (one Shirley Maclaine) into movie-stardom. Thus followed a veritable fuckfest. Nobody was safe. Not Natalie Wood, Julie Christie, nor Dianne Keaton. Not Cher aged sweet-sixteen! I could go on. He'd coo his now famous "What's new pussycat?" into the receiver to starlets all over greater LA. Along the way Beatty became a prime protagonist in the ‘New Hollywood' with his seminal Bonnie and Clyde. He began directing his own films such as Dick Tracy (yep banged Madonna too) and eventually ‘settled down' with his Bugsy co-star Anette Benning.
Now Warren's suing Peter Biskind. What for? Claiming the actor has slept with 13,000 women. Own it Mr Beatty!

About
SixThousand is a subcultural guide to Perth, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Perth writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence SixThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
