'I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can't remember if we actually had penetration,' she claimed. 'I swear to God, I can't. There are certain things I block out.'
However, Streisand quickly moved away from the topic when the interviewer pressed her further about whether or not she ever slept with the 'Dick Tracy' star.
'But I know we're still friends,' she said, changing the subject. 'Every year on my birthday, he calls me and we have a wonderful talk about our lives, our children, and so forth.'

'So we're still friends,' Streisand added. 'I met him when I was fifteen years old, and he was twenty-one, I think.'
In 'My Name Is Barbra,' the 'Funny Girl' star recalled first meeting Beatty at the Clinton Playhouse in Connecticut when she was 16 and he was 21. She described Beatty as 'tall with movie-star looks' and wrote that 'women were already falling at his feet.'
Streisand also wrote about an interview she gave Playboy in 1977 in which the reporter asked whether she was ever 'romantically linked' with the 'Bonnie and Clyde' actor.

'I said blithely, 'One of my flings,'' she responded, according to her memoir. 'I was just tossing off a reply, playing the role of a jaded woman of the world.'
Still, while Streisand and Beatty 'go back a long way,' she also admitted that there is 'some water under that bridge.'
'Recently, we were on the phone talking politics and who knows what else when he said, 'I remember why we broke up,'' Streisand wrote. 'I said, 'When were we together?''

After hanging up the phone and asking herself if she and Beatty ever slept together, Streisand admitted that they 'probably' did.
'I kind of remember. I guess I did,' she wrote. 'Probably once.'

They also each ended up with the loves of their lives, because Streisand went on to marry actor James Brolin, 84, in 1998, while Beatty married actress Annette Bening, 67, in 1992.
Brolin recently opened up about the secret to his and the 'Way We Were' singer's nearly 30-year marriage.
'The best investment we've ever made is our mattress,' he told the 'Today' show in April.
'And don't misunderstand me,' Brolin added. 'We're both lazy. We love to sleep late. We do a lot of our work on the phone, on paper, reading, right next to each other.'

‘Bridgerton' star Simone Ashley's role in Brad Pitt's ‘F1' cut from final film
Left in the dust. Simone Ashley's role in Brad Pitt's upcoming 'F1' racing movie has been cut from the final film – even though the 'Bridgerton' star shot an entire storyline for the project. Director Joseph Kosinski explained the reason behind the surprising news in an interview published on Monday, June 16. 7 Simone Ashley's role in Brad Pitt's upcoming 'F1' racing movie has been cut from the final film. Getty Images 7 Ashley was set to appear in a larger role alongside Brad Pitt in 'F1.' Getty Images for IWC 'It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use,' Kosinski, 51, told People. 'There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make it into the final cut.' She does, however, briefly appear onscreen but has no lines. Still, the director praised the Netflix star for her acting chops. 'But Simone, she's an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer, and I would love to work with her again,' he added. It was first announced that Ashley, 30, was cast in the Formula 1 racing drama in July 2024. 7 'It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use,' director Joseph Kosinski said regarding why Ashley's role was cut. 'There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make it into the final cut.' Getty Images for IWC Schaffhausen Earlier this month, before it was revealed that her role had been almost completely cut, the 'Sex Education' actress spoke highly of her 'crazy' time on the high-octane movie set. 'I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie,' she told Elle on June 6. 'I got to experience many Grands Prix. I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again.' Ashley also said that production on 'F1' had been 'going for years' during an interview with Who What Wear in March. 7 Ashley's acting breakthrough came when she was cast as Kate Sharma in Season 2 of 'Bridgerton.' ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection 7 Ashley and co-star Jonathan Bailey in 'Bridgerton.' 'I met for this movie, I think, before 'Bridgerton' even came out,' she told the outlet. 'It's been a long time, and you know, it's Damson and Brad's movie. I'm just so grateful that I can be part of it.' Even more surprising was the 'Picture This' star's revelation that 'F1' filmed certain scenes both during and alongside actual Formula One races. 'You had to work as a team,' Ashley said. 'Sometimes we literally had one take for certain shots. Like, you'd see on the call sheet eight minutes to get this one thing because we were shooting alongside the races.' 7 'It's been a long time, and you know, it's Damson and Brad's movie,' Ashley said of her 'very small' role in the new racing movie. 'I'm just so grateful that I can be part of it.' AP 'It was amazing, the adrenaline,' she added. 'It was kind of like theater. It felt so live.' The Post has reached out to Ashley's reps for comment. 'F1' stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula 1 racer who comes out of retirement to mentor a young rookie prodigy named Joshua 'Noah' Pearce (Damson Idris) for the Apex Grand Prix team. 7 Javier Bardem and Pitt in a still from 'F1.' AP The movie also stars Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia and Javier Bardem. 'There's a peacefulness in the car,' Pitt, 61, told Entertainment Tonight during the red carpet premiere of 'F1' in Mexico City on June 9. 'There are some days when you're off mentally, and you're just a fraction of a second behind on your turning point.' 'Or if you're having an uneasy day, and you're not committed to the car, trusting the car, you get it all wrong,' he added. 'And then there are these days where it is so sublime, you just cannot believe what these cars can do.'
