Warren Beatty: A Private Man

Suzanne Finstad has written a well-sourced book about a man who has guarded his personal life assiduously, and made it flow sufficiently to hold the reader's interest. As a result, Warren Beatty is revealed as an intelligent and multifaceted individual, far more than the simple phallic narcissist that too often is the portrait given to the public far too often. In fact, labeling him a Renaissance Man would be apropos. My only criticism would be that I would have liked more photos and an afterword. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was interviewed for this book, due to my friendship with Warren Beatty. The author, Suzanne Finstad, did a great job.

Good author, stayed on subject. Interesting account of Warren. I highly recommend this book to all.

The book is a little boring at the beginning. Too much information about his parents family and not enough on Warren Beatty. It starts to get interesting as he inters high school. But you do start to see because of the way he grew up why he is such a private man. I just wish there was more information when he finally married and how he is bringing up his four kids. I also think the author jumped all over the place at times.

Yet another great book by Miss Finstad. Well researcher, all true. I reccomened getting her bio of Natalie Wood as well. Fun book.
