Add elderly actor Warren Beatty to the list of Hollywood leftists accused of rape.
In her lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, a Unitarian minister named Kristina Charlotte Hirsch accuses Beatty, then 35, of repeatedly raping her in an in appropriate relationship that lasted almost a year.
Hirsch was 14 at the time. Hirsch posted a video to social media in 2017 in which she vaguely described what Beatty did to her, but her lawsuit names only a “Defendant Doe.”
Beatty is one of a long list of Hollywood stars and behind-the-camera luminaries, going back to movie mogul Louis B. Mayer, who have been accused of molesting actresses.
The Lawsuit
The trouble didn’t begin for hard-left Beatty with last week’s lawsuit. Five years ago, Hirsch claimed that in 1973, she was a “14-year-old virgin and brought and introduced to Warren Beatty on the set of ‘Parallax View’ for the purposes of sexual pandering by an adult:
I was unaware of this, and from the spring of 1973 until the following January of 1974, carried on a relationship that I thought was something that was special.
Although it was a crime that Beatty was committing by raping me, forcing me to have oral sex upon him, having oral sex with me, sodomizing me, and emotionally damaging me for the past 44 years.
She asked Cooper to contact her and provided an email address.
Now, because California law provides a three-year window for victims to file lawsuits, Hirsch has sued “Defendant Doe.” He is a “well-known Hollywood actor” who played Clyde in Bonnie and Clyde, a film that lionized the two murderers and smeared legendary Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, the man who led the posse that tracked down and killed them in 1934. “Defendant Doe” is, of course, the octogenarian Beatty, a long-time Democrat activist.
The lawsuit, which includes 49 more unidentified defendants, says a neighbor took Hirsch to the set of The Parallax View, where she met Beatty. He complimented Hirsch on her looks and said to call him at his hotel. Understandably, Hirsch was “thrilled at the attention” and called Beatty.
“Over the course of 1973,” the lawsuit continues, Beatty phoned Hirsch “on numerous occasions and summoned the teenager to the hotel where he was living to spend time with him”:
[Beatty] brought Plaintiff with him on car rides, offered to help her with her homework, and spoke to Plaintiff about losing her virginity on multiple occasions.
Over the course of 1973, when Plaintiff was 14 and 15 years old, [Beatty] used his position and status as an adult, and a Hollywood movie star to coerce sexual contact with Plaintiff on multiple occasions, including oral sex, simulated sex and finally coerced sexual intercourse with the minor child.
Hirsch believed she was in a “romantic relationship” with Beatty, but the abuse, which “continued until late 1973,” was anything but romantic,” the lawsuit alleges:
The grooming, sexual abuse, harassment and/or assaults were committed by [Beatty] for his sexual gratification and was based upon the gender of the Plaintiff.…
As a direct and proximate result of the childhood sexual assault, harassment and abuse committed against the Plaintiff by [Beatty], Plaintiff has suffered personal physical injury of sexual assault, and has and will continue to suffer, psychological, mental and emotional distress, and all associated economic injury.
Hollywood Molesters
Beatty is one of a long line of distinguished Hollywood big wigs accused of rape. Disgraced movie tycoon and Democrat moneybags Harvey Weinstein is in prison for multiple rapes. Ronan Farrow, the son of actress Mia Farrow, detailed the shocking allegations against Weinstein for The New Yorker in 2017.
Actor Corey Feldman has described Hollywood’s homosexual pedophile network, his own victimization at the hands of a homosexual, and the rape of his late friend and fellow actor Corey Haim.
But the abuse didn’t begin recently.
Last year, former Bond girl Lana Wood alleged that the late star Kirk Douglas raped her sister, Natalie Wood — who starred with Beatty in 1961’s Splendor in the Grass — at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles in 1955. Douglas played a rapist Navy officer in In Harm’s Way. His victim commits suicide. So does Douglas’ character, by going on an unauthorized, never-to-return aerial reconnaissance mission after his crime is discovered.
Molesters including Arthur Freed and George Jessel repeatedly tried to rape 1930s child star Shirley Temple. Freed exposed himself to Temple when she was just 12 years old, and she kneed Jessel in the groin after he exposed himself during a private meeting when she was 35.
Movie magnate Louis B. Mayer repeatedly molested Wizard of Oz actress Judy Garland, her ex-husband Sid Luft alleged in a memoir, as did the lascivious little men called “munchkins.”
“I’ll ruin you,” another Hollywood panjandrum told Garland when she refused sex with him.
Late in life, actress Loretta Young told her daughter-in-law that that Gone with the Wind star Clark Gable date-raped her when they worked on Call of the Wild in 1935. A devout Catholic, Young became pregnant with a daughter, whom she “adopted” after hiding the child for 19 months. The daugher, Judy Lewis, died 11 years ago.
The rape of young Hollywood starlets even shows up in Mario Puzo’s The Godfather and in a deleted scene in the first of the Godfather films.
