An Inside Look At Carly Simon's Life And Career

Besides her music, Carly Simon has been in the spotlight for her love life. She said in her memoir, "Boys in Trees," that she grew up longing for an idealized and traditional marriage, but that she also felt conflicted about her many relationships during the 1960s and '70s. Yes, as the Los Angeles Times notes, it wa the sexual revolution, and Simon admists she embraced the sexual freedom.

Not every famous name Simon has been connected to was a romantic or sexual partner. A chance encounter with Sean Connery, for instance, resulted in a pleasant but platonic cruise from London to New York. But there were brief affairs with Bob Rafelson, Jack Nicholson, Terrence Malik, and Kris Kristofferson. More serious romances developed with Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger, and Cat Stevens. The former romance gave Simon one third of the hit song "You're So Vain" and persisted despite Beatty's serial womanizing.

One famous name has his own connection to "You're So Vain." Donald Trump met Simon at a lunch when he was still a businessman and invited her to join him at Mar-A-Lago (per The Guardian). She was unimpressed with Trump and declined. She compared Trump negatively to the men described in "You're So Vain" to the Guardian, saying that those men could at least be in on the joke, while Trump seemed to have nothing to him but self-obsession. Per CBS, she allowed the song to be used in anti-Trump campaign ads in 2016, the first time she let it be put to political use.
