Barbra Streisand’s Memoir Contradicted Previous Claims About Her Relationship With Warren Beatty

While Barbra Streisand and Warren Beatty were never officially linked as a couple, a dinner party exchange captured in Kathy Griffin’s book “Celebrity Run-Ins” offered an inside look into the celebrities’ flirty, lighthearted dynamic, per the Hollywood Reporter. The brash comedian all but forced the two stars to address the long-held rumors at Jane Fonda’s 75th birthday party, writing, “I said [to Warren], ‘Barbra’s rehashing that story about how you always claim to have hooked up in the back of a car.’” Beatty quickly replied that he believed that to be true.

Streisand, seated next to Griffin at the dinner table, set the record straight. “Warren, I’m not going to have this fight with you again. We nev-ah hooked up,” Griffin wrote, referencing Streisand’s distinct Brooklyn accent. Still, Beatty insisted, adding more details. “Noooo, Barbra, I think we did,” Griffin paraphrased. “We were coming back from that little club in the Catskills.”

Griffin’s book was released in 2016, which might have been the memory jog Streisand needed before releasing her memoir seven years later. And for Beatty’s part, Streisand had glibly admitted to having a brief hookup with Beatty during a 1970 Playboy interview. However, the “People” singer wrote in her memoir that it was a tongue-in-cheek quip at best. “I was just tossing off a reply, playing the role of a jaded woman of the world,” Streisand wrote (via EW).
