Who inspired Carly Simon’s song “You’re So Vain”?

Many years after the release of her 1972 hit song “You’re So Vain,” Carly Simon revealed that actor Warren Beatty inspired one of its verses. She also said that two other men inspired the rest of the lyrics, although she has not publicly named them. The song, which describes a self-absorbed womanizer, sparked many rumors about the identity of the person who inspired it. Along with Beatty, other possible inspirations have included James Taylor (to whom Simon was married from 1972 to 1983), producer David Geffen, and singer Mick Jagger (who sings back-up vocals on the track).
