Annette Bening

Personal Information Real Name : Annette Bening

Annette Bening Biography Annette Bening was born on May 29, 1958 in Topeka, Kansas, the youngest of four children. Her family moved to California when she was young, and she grew up there. She graduated from San Francisco State University and began her acting career with the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, eventually moving to New York where she acted on the stage. She was nominated for a Tony Award in 1987 for the Broadway play "Coastal Disturbances". As is often the case, her first big-screen role was in a forgettable movie, _The Great Outdoors (1988)_ (qv), in which she had a minor role. Her second film was 'Milos Forman' (qv)'s _Valmont (1989)_ (qv), a little-seen adaptation of 'Choderlos de Laclos' (qv)'s "Les Liaisons Dangereuses." Bening's career turned an important corner the following year when she co-starred with 'Anjelica Huston' (qv) and 'John Cusack' (qv) in 'Stephen Frears' (qv)'s powerful, entertaining screen adaptation of 'Jim Thompson (I)' (qv)'s novel _The Grifters (1990)_ (qv), and her artful turn as a con artist gained her an Academy award nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Shortly thereafter, 'Warren Beatty (I)' (qv) cast Bening as 'Virginia Hill (II)' (qv), 'Bugsy Siegel' (qv)'s fiery actress moll, in _Bugsy (1991)_ (qv), the story of Siegel's founding of Las Vegas. Although the movie itself did not fare well, it resulted in a relationship with Beatty which led to Bening's pregnancy and then her marriage to Beatty in 1992 - it was the second marriage for Bening and the first for Beatty. The couple then collaborated on the extravagant flop _Love Affair (1994)_ (qv), though her career rebounded with her turn as "Queen Elizabeth" in the highly-regarded 1995 production of _Richard III (1995)_ (qv). Notable performances have since included an obsessive, pushy real estate agent in _American Beauty (1999)_ (qv) and the eponymous character in 'István Szabó (I)' (qv)'s screen adaptation of the 'W. Somerset Maugham' (qv) novel _Being Julia (2004)_ (qv)-- both were duly noted by the Academy with Best Actress Oscar nominations. Bening has great poise and screen presence and, at her best, can turn in a very strong performance. Although her resume often features long stretches of mediocre productions before the next good part turns up, when it does, it proves worth the wait. Bening has four children with Beatty.

Annette Bening Personal Quotes The movie business is tough. It's driven by economics and economics are about trying to get a lot of people into the theater. That's the reality of the business, the culture we're in. I think where I've instinctively found myself is that I am somewhat guarded in my public life. Being interviewed or being photographed or just in public attention I have a certain reserve. But when I'm working I feel like I'm very open. At least I like to believe that I feel like nothing is held back when I'm in front of a camera. That's my job.
