If that's true, then her whole anecdote about how she only had her driver's licence for a few weeks and she already had to do a driving scene on Bonnie&Clyde is bogus.

From "A Private Man" (which is advertised as the definitive Beatty bio, but still is riddled with flaws)>
Quote:
.....
Beatty made a lasting impression on Dunaway's porcelain blond double, a Dallas high school student named Patsy Ann McLenny, who would later move to Hollywood and use the stage name Morgan Fairchild. ........
....... When the bus came to its final stop near Maypearl, Texas, Fairchild wandered off to look for the set. "I was walking down this dirt road, and this kid was kind of shuffling toward me, coming back from that direction. So I said to him, 'Is this the way to the set?' And he looked up, and his face just lit up, and he said, 'Well, uh, yeah, yeah, the uh, it's down that way, it's going on at that farmhouse down there, you should take a look.' And I thought, 'My God, that's the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life.' And of course it was Warren. He just glowed. He had that real pretty olive skin with pink underneath it, and he just glowed. Even in the dawn." (.....)
....... "I looked like I was twenty-two, so nobody believed I was sixteen...... I would go back to high school and my teachers would follow me around saying, 'What's Warren Beatty really like?' And I'd say, 'He's very smart.' And they'd say, 'Oh, yeah, right.' Everybody knows he's smart now, but back then he was known more as a glamour boy."........


Yep, although this took place in 1966 she remembers it like it happened five minutes ago
