Jackie Kennedy Unimpressed by Warren Beatty’s Bedroom Abilities: New Biography Reveals

Warren Beatty, a well-known Lothario of Hollywood, had his fair share of high-profile relationships and encounters with famous women.

From Natalie Wood to Madonna, Beatty left a trail of famous exes behind him.

However, it seems that one of his conquests was none other than Jackie Kennedy Onassis, the revered widow of President John F. Kennedy.

This revelation comes from a new biography of Onassis, titled “Jackie: Public, Private and Secret,” which provides an excerpt in the latest issue of People magazine.

According to the biography by J. Randy Taraborrelli, Onassis was not particularly impressed with Beatty's skills as a lover, both inside and outside the bedroom.

It appears that Beatty, now 86, was somewhat self-absorbed, a sentiment echoed by some of his other former partners, including Leslie Caron.

In 2021, Caron described him as controlling and narcissistic.

As for his s**ual technique, Onassis reportedly confided in a friend, stating that men can only do so much anyway.

The question arises of how and when this hookup between two icons of American culture took place.

It could be attributed to the s**ually liberated era of the 1970s, where casual encounters were common.

According to Taraborrelli, the affair occurred in the mid-1970s, possibly after the death of Onassis' second husband, Aristotle Onassis, in 1975.

Onassis had returned to the United States and taken on a job as a consulting editor for Viking Press.

Taraborrelli suggests that her involvement with Beatty stemmed from her attempts to woo big names, like Beatty, to write their memoirs.

Their relationship began with Onassis finding Beatty “interesting” and going on a few dates with him.

Eventually, she invited him to her Fifth Avenue home, where he spent the night.

One staff member recalled walking in on Beatty casually conversing with Onassis' son, John F. Kennedy Jr., as if it was a normal occurrence.

Onassis and Beatty continued to socialize for a few months, although it is unclear how serious their romance was.

As time went on, Onassis found Beatty less interesting.

She felt that he was consumed by his career and movies, constantly discussing directors, producers, and films, which did not align with her interests.

By the mid-1970s, Beatty had already made a name for himself in hit films like “Bonnie and Clyde,” “McCabe and Mrs. Miller,” and “The Parallax View.”

In 1975, he produced and co-wrote “Shampoo,” further solidifying his success in the industry.

In 1982, Beatty's career obsession paid off when he won the Academy Award for Best Director for “Reds.”

Diane Keaton, who dated Beatty during the production of “Reds,” acknowledged his dedication to cinema.

She admired his talent as both a producer and director.

However, Onassis did not share the same sentiment, as revealed in Taraborrelli's book.

It remains unclear whether Beatty's support of Democratic politics had any influence on their relationship.

After her husband's assassination in 1963, Onassis had withdrawn from political events for about a decade.

Taraborrelli disclosed that the romance between Onassis and Beatty was short-lived.

In fact, Onassis herself admitted that it lasted two weeks longer than it should have.
