A few of these friends repeated the same dull anecdotes about the group crashing parties at Warhol’s factory, but the most commonly told story was how Cassandra scandalized them all by turning down Warren Beatty’s advances. The two apparently met at a dinner party, and when he’d asked her to have a drink with him the next night she said she wasn’t free, and when he’d asked her to tell him when she was free she told him she was free all the time, free every moment of her life, that she was simply too free to go around with a man like him. This apparently enraged Oleg.
