Barbra Streisand admitted that she has no memory if she had slept with a legendary Hollywood lothario in the past.
The Funny Girl actress, 83 - who is currently married to fellow actor James Brolin - opened up about the topic during a recent interview with The New Yorker which was published this past weekend.
The Oscar winner previously mentioned a brief fling with icon Warren Beatty in her 2023 memoir My Name Is Barbra.
And during her conversation with the outlet, the interviewer brought up the book and her mention of Beatty - who is known for movies such as Dick Tracy as well as Bonnie And Clyde.
'I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can't remember if we actually had penetration,' Streisand stated. 'I swear to God, I can't. There are certain things I block out.'
The interviewer then told Barbra that perhaps Warren 'remembers one way or another' which prompted the star to share how they are still close pals.
'But I know we're still friends,' she said. '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. I met him when I was fifteen years old, and he was twenty-one, I think.'
The two stars first crossed during the production of A Hatful Of Rain which was being shown in Connecticut.
In her 2023 memoir, she first touched on the possibility of having sex with Beatty and had penned, per Entertainment Weekly, 'Warren and I go back a long way (back to summer stock) and there's some water under that bridge.'
Streisand added, 'Recently, we were on the phone talking politics and who knows what else when he said, "I remember why we broke up."
'I said, "When were we together?" Then I hung up and asked myself, "Did I sleep with Warren?" I kind of remember. I guess I did. Probably once.'
In the book, The Way We Were actress also recalled when she first met the legendary actor in Connecticut at the Clinton Playhouse.
'He asked me to cue him on his lines. If that was a come-on, I missed it entirely. He also played the piano. I was impressed.'
She continued, 'We used to eat together occasionally and talk about life. He was twenty-one, tall with movie-star looks, and women were already falling at his feet. I was sixteen.'
Barbra then shared that in Beatty's memory of when they crossed paths - he had made a move on the actress, but she rejected him.
'In any event, Warren and I became friends for life. He had star quality then and he still has it now. And every time we get together we reminisce about those days.'
During an interview for CBS Sunday Morning with Gayle King, Barbra explained that she didn't want to add details about her past romances in the memoir.
'Listen, I didn't want to write about any of them!' the performer expressed, which caused King to reply with, 'But you did!'
The star then stated that she had been told to do so and explained, 'My editor said, "You have to leave some blood on the page."'
Comedian Kathy Griffin also wrote a book in 2016 titled Celebrity Run-ins and recalled a time when she overheard a conversation taking place between Barbra and Warren, per The Hollywood Reporter.
She had been talking to the songstress at a party which Beatty had also been attending and at one point, had made his way over to them.
Griffin wrote that Warren had 'asked, "What's going on at this table?" I said, "Barbra's rehashing that story about how you always claim to have hooked up in the back of a car."
'Beatty took the bait. "I thought we did." Barbra started shaking her head. "Warren, I'm not going to have this fight with you again. We nev-ah hooked up."'
The actor had responded with, '"Noooo, Barbra, I think we did. We were coming back from that little club in the Catskills."'
Kathy also added, 'I realized these two have probably known each other since the early '60s. He's going waaaaay back, and he's bringing up details like it all happened yesterday.'
Beatty then told Streisand, '"There was a time when you got a little handsy in the backseat," but the actress continued to eat her meal while adding little "No, Warren's."'
The Bugsy actor has been linked to a number of celebrities over the course of his career, such as Joan Collins, Cher, Madonna, Diane Keaton and also Brigitte Bardot.
While talking to AARP The Magazine in 2016, the actor addressed rumors that he had bedded nearly 13,000 women.
'Think about it, sleeping with 12,775 people,' Warren stated. 'That would mean not just that there were multiple people a day, but that there was no repetition.'
In 1992, Beatty officially tied the knot with actress Annette Bening and the couple share four children.
Streisand has also been involved in various romances, including with Richard Baskin, Don Johnson, Richard Gere, Liam Neeson, Clint Eastwood, Jon Voight and James Newton Howard.
She was previously married to Elliott Gould from 1963 until their divorce was finalized in 1971.
Barbra later tied the knot once again in 1998 to James Brolin - who is known for his roles in projects such as The Amityville Horror and Burlesque.
And during an interview with People a few months earlier in April, Brolin offered a secret to their nearly 30-year marriage.
'The best investment we've ever made is our mattress. And don't misunderstand me. 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.'
He also reflected on taking long walks with his wife and said, 'You learn to take a walk. Both of us, not just me! I just think you gotta say, "Okay, take a deep breath, take a walk."
'Because animals do the same thing, you know? Humans do it to each other, animals do it to each other.'
