Smart. Reminds me of Carly Simons’ “You probab’ly think this song is about you.”
has revealed that the song referred to Warren Beaty, a notorious womanizer during the 1960-70's who pursued anyone in skirts and of all ages, from movie stars, singers like Carly and Madonna, older woman at parties (a friend of mine) and was on a first name basis with most of the prostitutes on the Sunset Strip.
A example of his vanity: when he did the Dick Tracy film years ago he refused to be photographed by independent journalists as he was afraid his age would show. He provided his own photos instead. Now 80 years old he has matured and is quoted as very supportive of his 25 year old trans son.
Interesting, he was launched in a TV show called "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" in 1959, but not playing the central character. His sister Shirley Maclaine (Beaty) no doubt aided his rise in cinema as she became a big star before he did. Warren Beaty did a political leftist film called "Reds" which was not very successful but worthy of a view. His first big success was "Bonny and Clyde" which you will no doubt recall.
