Warren Beatty (Actor)

"I used to say that for me, making a movie was like vomiting. I really did not look forward to it, but after I did it, I felt better. And when I have such a full life, as I do now, the periods of not wanting to vomit grow longer. Because when I vomit and then I'm producing and I'm directing and I'm writing and I'm acting and all of that nonsense, it's somtimes sickening." - Beatty to Premiere magazine, November 2006

"Prior to meeting Bening, Beatty has been quoted as saying to ["Bugsy" director] Barry Levinson, 'The thing about Bugsy Siegel... he was very promiscuous throughout his life, until he met Virginia Hill [the role Bening was to play]. When they got together, he never went after another woman. He found someone who accepted him for what he was.'" - from an interview with Dominick Dunne in Vanity Fair magazine, September 1994

"The legend began early. The columns began toting up the women Beatty kept company with - Natalie Wood, Joan Collins, Elizabeth Taylor, just to name some early brunets - and the public took notice. The men of Hollywood, who respect such things, had already noticed. (His catch phone-phrase to women, 'What's new, pussycat?' became a movie title and song.)" - from Entertainment Weekly, Dec. 20, 1991

He was named as the Harvard Hasty Pudding Man of the Year in 1975.

In 1968, Beatty campaigned for Senator Robert F. Kennedy

Named a Commander of the French Order of Arts and Letters in 1992.
