Veteran star reveals unexpected detail about decades-old Hollywood rumour
- Replies 2
A seasoned star recently turned heads with a surprisingly candid reflection on a decades-old rumour involving a fellow Hollywood icon.
In an open interview, the entertainer shared a hazy memory of a moment from the past that has long been the subject of speculation—offering just enough detail to fuel the whispers without fully confirming anything.
Now, that’s not the sort of answer you hear every day! While many celebrities might dodge such a question, Barbra Streisand’s openness—and her willingness to admit to a fuzzy memory—reminds us that even the biggest stars are only human.
And who among us hasn’t had a moment or two from the past that’s a little hazy?

When pressed further, Streisand gracefully sidestepped the details, instead highlighting the enduring nature of her friendship with Warren Beatty.
'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.'
It’s a testament to the strength of their bond that, whatever may or may not have happened all those years ago, the two have remained close.
Their friendship stretches back nearly 70 years, to when Streisand was just a teenager, and Beatty was a dashing young man with 'movie-star looks.'
In her 2023 memoir, My Name Is Barbra, she recalls meeting Warren Beatty at the Clinton Playhouse in Connecticut. 'Women were already falling at his feet,' she wrote, painting a picture of a young man destined for stardom.
Streisand’s playful attitude towards the rumours isn’t new. She recounted a 1977 Playboy interview in which she breezily referred to Beatty as 'one of my flings,' admitting in her memoir that she was playing the part of a worldly woman.
But as the years have passed, even she isn’t quite sure what really happened.
'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?’' she wrote. After some reflection, she concluded, 'I kind of remember. I guess I did. Probably once.'
Regardless of what did or didn’t happen, Streisand and Beatty’s story is a reminder that some friendships can weather any storm—or rumour.
Both stars eventually found lasting love elsewhere: Streisand married actor James Brolin in 1998, while Beatty wed actress Annette Bening in 1992.
And it seems both couples have found the secret to happiness.
Brolin recently shared that the best investment he and Streisand ever made was their mattress, cheekily adding, '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.'
It’s heartening to see that, after all these years, Streisand and Beatty can look back on their shared history with humour and affection.
Their story is a reminder that life is full of twists, turns, and the occasional blurry memory—but true friendship can last a lifetime.
