Καλημέρα. Πέρυσι που κυκλοφόρησε η ανεπίσημη βιογραφία του Γουόρεν Μπίτι πληροφορηθήκαμε ότι
ο πηδάριθμός του ήταν 12.775 (η τελεία χωρίζει χιλιάδες, δεν είναι αγγλική υποδιαστολή).
Warren Beatty slept with 12,775 women, claims biographer
It may not be one of the great remaining mysteries, on a par with the nature of dark matter or the origins of the universe, but the question of how many women Warren Beatty, 72, has slept with certainly seems to have got New York's media-land in a froth.
Peter Biskind, Beatty's new biographer, estimates that the famously seductive star of Bonnie and Clyde and Reds has notched up 12,775 sexual conquests, including Isabelle Adjani, Diane Keaton and Madonna. If true, that is impressive. Don Giovanni could only claim a lacklustre 2,065, according to Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte.
Biskind writes in his book, Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America, that he arrived at the figure by "simple arithmetic". He appears to have worked out the number of days between Beatty losing his virginity at 19 and the date in 1991 when he met Annette Bening on the set of Bugsy and fell into monogamy, and applied the questionable logic that during that entire period Beatty slept with an average of one woman a day. Biskind, an accomplished writer on Hollywood and author of Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, adds that for these purposes he ruled out "daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on".

The Trip, όπου οι δυο πρωταγωνιστές περιμένουν να σερβιριστούν και ο ένας διαβάζει εφημερίδα:
— Listen to this. It's about Warren Beatty, right. “Peter Biskind, Beatty's new biographer, estimates that the famously seductive star of Bonnie and Clyde, has notched up 12,775 sexual conquests. He slept with an average of 246 women a year.”
— Well, 365 days a year, that's what?
— 120 days a year off, that's every weekend off, if he does it every weekday and gets his weekends off it's...
— Yeah. Achievable. Well, Port Talbot has a population of 30,000. That means he slept with half the women in Port Talbot.
— Well, half the population are men so...
— So he slept with all the women in Port Talbot. Mmm.
— Which I wouldn't wish on anybody. No. No.
