Beatty Biography Not Authorised

4 January 2010 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

An attorney for Warren Beatty has denied reports a salacious new biography about the Hollywood actor was authorised, insisting the book contains many "false assertions" about the star.

In Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America, writer Peter Biskind documents the Bonnie and Clyde veteran's high-profile romances with actresses Jane Fonda and Joan Collins, and spectacularly alleges he has slept with more than 12,000 women.

But Beatty's lawyer Bertram Fields insists previous reports confirming the book was sanctioned by the 72 year old are false - and he's warning fans and media outlets not to believe everything published in the new tome.

In a statement to the Huffington Post, Fields says, "Mr. Biskind's tedious and boring book on Mr. Beatty was not authorised by Mr. Beatty and should not be published as an authorised biography. It contains many false assertions and purportedly quotes Mr. Beatty as saying things he never said.

"Other media should not repeat things from the book on the assumption that they are true or that the book is an authorised biography."
