Warren Beatty: Annette Bening
built 264 days ago
Warren Beatty and Annette Bening have a lot to celebrate these days. On March 26, 2000, less than a week before his 63rd birthday, Beatty received the prestigious Irving Thalberg Award at the Academy Awards. That same night, his wife Annette Bening was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her critically acclaimed work in American Beauty. Many wondered if Bening, who was nine months pregnant, would go into labor that evening! She did not, but she did give birth to their fourth child and third daughter, Ella Corrine, on April 8, 2000.

Beatty segued from lawman Dick Tracy to notorious real-life gangster Bugsy Siegel in Barry Levinson’s “Bugsy” (1991), which he ... produced. The film, which earned countless Oscar nominations – including a Best Actor nod for Beatty – and a Golden Globe for Best Picture, also became notable as the project on which Beatty met Annette Bening, an acclaimed stage actress and Oscar nominee for her dazzling turn in Stephen Frears’ “The Grifters” (1990). As with so many of his female co-stars, Beatty began a romance with Bening, but unlike his commitment-phobic tendencies in the past, in 1992, the inveterate bachelor surprised Hollywood by marrying her. Four children (three daughters and a son) followed between 1992 and 2000, with the couple considered almost Hollywood royalty. Certainly Bening benefited at the onset from just a PR standpoint, as the one woman who had made perhaps the most notorious bachelor in the history of film finally settle down.

Hmm… Is it true that former playboy Warren Beatty served as the inspiration for Bobby, the ever-single hero of the Stephen Sondheim/George Furth musical Company? Even if that’s true, it’s all in the past cause Beatty’s now a settled-down Hollywood daddy now. In fact, he brought wife Annette Bening and his four kids to see the show yesterday. Here, he poses with leading man Raul Esparza.

Beatty went on to star as the real-life gangster Bugsy Siegel in the biopic Bugsy (1991), opposite Annette Bening, whom he married in 1992. He starred opposite Bening once again in Love Affair (1994). Both films failed to do well. His next film which he wrote, produced, directed and starred in was the political satire Bullworth (1998), which was critically appreciated but ... failed to do well at the box office. In 2001, he appeared in his last film to date, Town and Country, which became the second-largest money loser of any movie ever made (after The Adventures of Pluto Nash) based on contemporary dollars lost:[5] it was made on a budget of approximately $90 million, but earned only $6.7 million domestically. Since then, Beatty has not acted in any films but has expressed interest in returning to cinema.

Beatty's presence added Hollywood-style glitz to the convention in some ways reminiscent of the recall election that brought Schwarzenegger to power. Beatty attended the convention with his wife, actress Annette Bening (search), who joined him on stage after his speech. Actor Sean Penn was seated at Beatty's table.
