And there is nothing like a romance between two Hollywood celebrities in the 70s to act as good inspiration for a hit song that still remains relevant today. Everyone knows that when Carly Simon wrote this great song, she was talking about past boyfriends. But apparently, Simon has admitted to writing the second verse of the song “Vain” about actor and ex-boyfriend, Warren Beatty.
