her former fiancé Warren Beatty called it quits. Collins and Beatty began dating in 1959 and were engaged a year later before splitting.“We were both too young, too selfish, too ambitious,” Collins reflected. “It just wasn’t right.
I mean, I’ve had a lot of relationships. I had a lot of marriages. They don’t last. Luckily, you get older, and I met the man who’s the right person for me for the rest of my life.
We’ve been together ever since. And we’re very, very happily married.”“Breakups happen,” Collins shrugged. “It can happen based on different things.”In the book, Collins claimed that when she told Beatty she was pregnant, her then-beau told her she needed to get an abortion to protect their Hollywood careers.
Even though they were already engaged, Collins said she wasn’t a fan of shotgun weddings.“He was only 23, a struggling wannabe actor with a potentially great career as a sex symbol ahead of him if the future movies he was angling for came to fruition,” Collins wrote.Collins said she did get an abortion – and there are no hard feelings against Beatty, 86.
