In the documentary, "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls," a director (I think) mentions a story about coming in on a threesome with Peter Fonda, Karen Black(?), and another guy; this was while they were filming Easy Rider. Has anyone else seen this? I watched it in film class, so I might have misheard. I'm not sure if he was talking about a movie or real life. I know he's married, but it was the 60s, right?

Oh, I know what you're taking about.
I can't remember who walked in on it, but the third person wasn't a guy. It was Peter Fonda, Karen Black and the third was Toni Basil. I wonder what the story of that whole thing was. -

Peter was talking about a fight between Dennis Hopper and another guy on set, when he mentions that he was in the room next to it playing the guitar in Karen and Toni's room. He says "I picked up Karen's guitar and playing songs and, you know, location love". Dennis mentions later that Peter was in bed with Karen and Toni when he crashed through the door during th16d0e fight. So, I don't know, it's up for interpretation.

It sounds like a misinterpreted situation.
A possibility is that Peter Fonda was literally in bed with Toni and Karenhanging out together. Just talking and relaxing and he was playing guitar. They probably got along and were just relaxing together. Peter was showing the ol' Fonda charm by playing the guitar.
Makes sense to me. I've hung out in hotel beds with girls. It's a friends thingjust a friend thing. -
