Warren Beatty was like ‘lazy leopard ready to pounce’, says new book

NEW YORK - American actor Warren Beatty has been compared to a lazy leopard ready to pounce on his prey by 1960s model Leon Bing in her memoir, ‘Swans and Pistols’.

Bing, who also said that Beatty in his bachelor days could be blunt when he wanted to score, recalled a moment when he approached her at a party as Jack Nicholson and Michelle Phillips chatted with his long-time girlfriend, Julie Christie.

“If I wasn’t here with someone, we’d be in the upstairs bathroom right now with the door locked and your panties down,” the New York Post quoted Bing as recalling him as saying.

“He was like a leopard stretched out along a low-lying tree limb, lazily ready to reach down for anything that took his fancy,” she added.

The book will be out in November. (ANI)
