Patti LuPone is recalling her tumultuous relationship with Kevin Kline.
The 76-year-old Broadway veteran gave details about her past relationship with the 77-year-old actor, which lasted off-and-on for seven years in the 1970s.
The two first met when they were both students at Julliard, however, Patti said she “took an instant dislike” to Kevin initially.
“He looked like Pinocchio to me. He had skinny legs, and he was tall, and I didn’t really see the handsomeness,” she told The New Yorker in a recent interview.

She then changed her mind about him one day during an art-appreciation class, where the two sat in the back of the classroom and “started feeling each other up.”
However, Patti does not have fond memories of what transpired between them throughout their romance.
“He was a Lothario. It was a painful relationship. I was his girlfriend when he wanted me to be his girlfriend, but, if there was somebody else, he would break up with me and go out with that person. And I, for some reason, stuck it out—until I couldn’t stick it out anymore,” she said.
Kevin also reflected on the relationship from his perspective, describing it as “fraught.”
“We fought all the time,” he said.
If you didn’t see, Patti recently hinted at a feud with another major Broadway star.
