Madonna's Men: Warren Betty




Beforethe filming of "Truth or Dare," Madonna began seeing Warren Beatty, after starring in his film version of "Dick Tracy." His prophetic line in "True or Dare" - "Why would do you anything off camera?" has increasing relevance to the current social norms of today.

As Breathless Mahoney, she does a decent job in the comic strip adaptation. Of course, Madonna is playing a vixen night club singer. Beatty, with his player reputation, made an interesting match Madonna. Alas, by 1991, they were done and Madonna was added to the list of Beatty's substantial ex-list (Carly Simon, Cher, Brigtte Bardot, Candice Bergen, etc.) Although hey didn't work on another movie, his follow ups Bugsy, Love Affair, and Town & Country all bombed, with Madonna no where to be seen.

The post script of the story is that after decades on bachelor infamy, he met and married Annette Bening in 1991. They are still married with four children.
