A woman filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday alleging that Oscar-winning director/actor Warren Beatty coerced her into having sex with her in 1973. She was around 14 or 15 at the time of the alleged events, which would put Beatty around 35 years old. Variety first reported the news.
While plaintiff Kristina Charlotte Hirsch did not name Beatty in the suit, the defendant is identified as being nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Clyde in “Bonnie and Clyde,” which Beatty was in 1968. Beatty is now 85 years old.
Louisiana resident Hirsch alleges that Beatty met her on a film set, paying her “undue attention” while remarking on her looks and allegedly giving her his phone number. Hirsch claims that Beatty called her on a number of occasions throughout 1973, eventually inviting her to a hotel where he was living at the time in Los Angeles County.

Atlantic Media has sold Quartz, its six-year-old business news startup, to Japanese financial publisher Uzabase in a deal valuing Quartz at between $75 million to $110 million.
Under the terms of the pact announced Monday, Quartz will take over the English-language version of NewsPicks, Uzabase’s subscription-news service. NewsPicks launched in the U.S. in mid-2017 as a joint venture with Dow Jones & Co., and Tokyo-based Uzabase sees the Quartz acquisition as fueling its expansion into the U.S. and Europe.
Atlantic Media and Uzabase said they’ve been in talks about a deal for Quartz since last fall and began hammering out the terms in March 2018. The companies expect the acquisition to close in the next 30 days. The value of the deal is contingent on Quartz’s financial performance in 2018.
Quartz’s two co-presidents — editor-in-chief Kevin J. Delaney and and publisher Jay Lauf — will become co-CEOs of Quartz, reporting to Uzabase...
