Warren Beatty

According to a new unauthorized biography coming out soon, Warren Beatty has slept with "12,775 women, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on."

I'm just going to do the math on this.

He supposedly lost his virginity at age 20, which was in 1957. That means he has been "active", shall we say, for fifty three years.

If he had the same number of women every year, that comes out to 241 women a year.

I know what you're thinking: Big whoop. That means he had 124 potential days of monogamy a year. By Hollywood standards, that's nearly saintly.

Yes, but you're forgetting that he's been married for almost 18 years now. So, that means he hasn't been with another woman for 18 years (cough).

So, we have to assume he had all of those 12775 women during his 35 years of bachelorhood. That comes out to 365 or so different women a year.

A different woman every single day.

For 35 years.

And one has to assume there were at least a few repeat customers. That doesn't figure into the total at all. Neither do the "daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on."

My question is this: How did he ever find the time to make movies?
