h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Barbra's love-life has been as colourful and varied as Warren Beatty's. She could have been a future Queen of England or Canada's First Lady.

Barry Dennen wrote a book about their time together, before she married actor Elliot Gould. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000467/ Don Johnson engineered her a walk-on part in Miami Vice and they recorded a duet together 'Till I Loved You'. Barbra was devastated when Johnson ended their relationship to get back together with his pregnant ex-wife http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000429/ Melanie Griffith, whom he had first married when she was just 14½ years old and divorced when she was 19.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000886/ Warren Beatty (Beatty was the first choice to play the lead in The Way We Were but the part went to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000602/ Robert Redford instead.)
Warren Beatty is the brother of her best friend http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000511/ Shirley MacLaine.

Other well-documented affairs include:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0641939/ Ryan O'Neal; Funny Girl co-star http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001725/ Omar Sharif; http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000537/ Steve McQueen (1930 - 80); http://www.clevernet.net/pierre_trudeau/ Pierre Trudeau (1919 - 2000); http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/bc42.html Bill Clinton; http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1152468/ Andre Agassi; Baskin-Robbins ice-cream heir Richard Baskin; Egyptian Hollywood producer http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0269689/ Dodi Fayed (1955 - 97); http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001434/ Kris Kristofferson; ex-James Bond http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0493872/ George Lazenby; http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000152/ Richard Gere; http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000685/ Jon Voight and http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000553/ Liam Neeson.

Um, the Prince Charles link didn't survive the crossover from Word; sorry about that. It was Elton John who spilled the beans on that particular affair.

Well! I am just delightfully scandalized.

(Bill Clinton! - I voted for him twice - and now my estimation of him has even increased)

I didn't think the para on her lovers deameaned the entry, but I abided with the editorial decision. I thought it added interest, certainly it intrigued me. I mean, how lucky can a girl get? Steve McQueen *and* Richard Gere?

'Course I'm thinking about it from the other way around - this is a collection of the luckiest guys on the planet. And some surprising ones there are in that collection too.

But I know what you mean - Steve McQueen was a childhood hero. Richard Gere is more a ladies man - though he was quite good in Chicago.

Warren Beatty is alright - but I had a major crush on his sister.

Um, I found the most amazing link while researching was the Barbra/Dodi/Diana/Charles one.

I mean,

Richard Gere, I saw him in a dancing film with Jennifer Lopez, no chemistry at all, but I loved the way he danced. I enjoyed Chicago too.

Have you seen Barbra in "Meet the Parents 2" - absolutely hilarious.

Shirley McLean - yea, she was great in the Yellow Rolls-Royce - her love scenes with Alain Delon practically set me on fire.

Phew.

Seems to me like we have similar tastes

Shirley McLean I meant Shirley MacLaine

I knew that didn't look right

You probably know "Meet the Parents 2" over the pond as "Meet the Fockers":

OMG this is great! - I'll have more time this eve to browse through properly

Yes - I did see Meet the Fockers as it was called here. Hilarious.

Thanks!

Hehe I have a feeling I've just made a new Galaxy Babe fan club member

Well heck - who wouldn't be a Galaxy Babe fan club member.

You better go initiate yourself here then: F41297?thread=106354&latest=1

Actually, I have initiated myself - post 4660

(4660+ posts - that's some fan club )

I apologize for these sporadic responses - but my work schedule is hell - and I'm more or less in charge of it - so that's pretty embarrassing. I seem to get on-line for an hour or less at a time. Weekends are a little better.

Ta ta for now

How did I miss that?

No worries, I'm the same, running around with RL commitments and posting sporadicallybut I do spend a lot of time at home (every night) and I've no partner to drag me away from the pc so it looks like I spend a lot of time here

Don't load this unless you're prepared to

http://www.musicman.com/00pic/5451.jpg

Top left picand bottom right, for you

Awwww Look what happened

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /00pic/5451.jpg on this server.

(in best eeyore voice) I'll bet it was very nice present too.

This is NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!



How come I find the pics, post the links, then they're forbidden?

OK I've snooped around her website: http://www.shirleymaclaine.com/shirley/movies-yellowrolls.php
That's got the first pic on it, the pic that's missing is the full length shot with Mae sitting and Stefano standing/bending over her and pointing out the Sapphire Grotto with Joey just behind them. There's a great view of her legs...

I'm beginning to hate search engines, I'm having the same problem with providing non-forbidden pictures to WB who is subbing the Yellow Rolls-Royce.

It's a mystery. What is the website that you started with for the forbidden picture - hey wait a minute - is it possible that I have a filter set on my computer that is responsible for this?

Hmmm - must check into this.

Anyway - let me know the root website and I'll see if I find anything out.

Meanwhile - I'll just have to rely on memory for that picture.

Don't disable your filter

Try this: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.musicman.com/00pic/5451.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.musicman.com/00pic/5451.html&h=462&w=300&sz=59&hl=en&start=63&tbnid=NBOCSqgC0KnN0M:&tbnh=125&tbnw=81&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dyellow%2Brolls%2Broyce%26start%3D60%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN

very nice poster.

(Here is a curious thing - the link in post 15 works now. I can't imagine what that was about).
