built 264 days ago
Warren Beatty was born Henry Warren Beaty on March 30, 1937, in Richmond, Va., the son of a drama-teacher mother and musician-turned-teacher father. Often in the shadow of elder sister Shirley MacLaine, Beatty was a sensitive teen given to reciting lines from the plays of Eugene O'Neill in the family basement. He pored over novels such as F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender Is the Night" and Thomas Wolfe's "Look Homeward, Angel" -- he would later call the latter the most important book of his teenage years, according to Suzanne

Warren Beatty was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1937. Brother to actress and fruit-loop Shirley Maclaine, Beatty began acting as a child and studied with renowned acting guru Stella Adler. After numerous film roles throughout the 60s, his break came with Bonnie And Clyde in 1967. Beatty won Oscar nominations for best actor and best film (as producer), and the anti-authoritarian film was seen as ushering in a new era of film making in Hollywood. He has gone on to direct and write films, although all his work in front of and behind the camera has tended to be overshadowed by his prodigious bedding of his co-stars.

Beatty was born in Richmond, Virginia's Bellevue neighborhood. His mother, Kathlyn Corinne (née MacLean), was a Nova Scotia-born drama teacher, and his father, Ira Owens Beaty, was a professor of psychology, as well as public school administrator and real estate agent.[1][2] Beatty's grandparents were ... teachers. The family was Baptist.[3][4] His father moved the family from Richmond to Norfolk, Virginia and then to Arlington, Virginia where he became a middle school principal. The family also lived in Waverly, Virginia in the 1930's. Beatty's sister, three years his elder, is the multi-award winning actress and writer Shirley MacLaine.

Beatty was born March 30, 1937, in Richmond Virginia. Funny, he never sounded much like a southerner, but then neither does his sister, Shirley MacLaine. Both siblings were blessed with talent from their mother, who was a drama teacher turned housewife and mother.

Warren attended high school in Arlington, Virginia and attended Northwestern University, but, not to be outdone by his rising-star big sister, dropped out after his first year to study acting under the legendary Stella Adler. His first screen role, in the TV sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" (1959), was a role he found "ridiculous" and quickly abandoned to work on the Broadway stage, the highlight of which was his Tony-nominated performance in "A Loss of Roses".
