Miss USA 1983, Julie Hayek, writing a book about ‘the pitfalls of dating powerful men’
Miss USA 1983 Julie Hayek is reportedly writing a book about ‘the pitfalls of dating high-profile men’ which will lift the lid on her string of romances with well-known billionaires.
Hayek’s former flames include Koch brother David, Prince Albert of Monaco, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, real estate tycoon Richard Cohen and hedge fund manager Jim Chanos.
‘Julie hasn’t decided whether it will be a tell-all, or more of a lesson on the pitfalls of dating powerful men,’ a source told the New York Post’s
‘She is working with a ghost writer, but it is early days. She is going over her diaries to see what stories she has.’
The source warned that is she does write a tell-all book, a string of wealthy men could be concerned that their name will appear in its pages – and not in the most favourable light.
They added Hayek, 51, has much to spill on Koch, who she dated before he married to his now-wife Julia Flesher, with whom he has three children, in 1996.
The beauty queen turned down Koch, who is worth $37.8 billion, when he first asked her on a date in the 1980s as she was seeing Mitch Kupchak, the current general manager of the L.A. Lakers.
When she broke up with Kupchak in 1989, a few years after he had retired from playing basketball, she was with Koch for years. But he was dating numerous women at the same time, and they eventually split.
She later dated Prince Albert of Monaco for a matter of weeks in 1998. He married South African Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock last summer.
Hayek went on to date real estate magnate Cohen, whom she met on Match.com in October 2011 when he was using the name Flyboyny5987, she previously told the Post.
It came four years after he split from CNN anchor Paula Zahn following 20 years of marriage.
On their very first date she claims he told her: ‘You better go home and call your mom tonight, and tell her you’ve met the man you’re going to marry.’
Cohen flew her Argentina for a romantic getaway and claimed he wanted to spend the New Year with her on Anguilla – but it was an empty promise.
He simply stopped returning her calls but when she logged on to Match.com she could see that he was there too, spending hours hunting for his next target.
Hayek said last December: ‘It is disappointing… It’s very hurtful. He’s going to do the same thing to these other ladies… He’s so addicted to Match.com. I think he wants to get back at Paula.’
After winning Miss California and Miss USA in 1983, she went on to Miss Universe, where she scored top points in the swimsuit and evening gown segments before coming first runner up to the winner.
Since, she has worked as an actress, appearing in Dallas, Twin Peaks and As The World Turns.
