When Annette Bening and Warren Beatty surprised everyone by getting married in 1992, HE was by far, the bigger star. After he became successful, Warren started taking his time about making movies – whether he starred or directed, so he wasn’t as prolific as Annette. She took some time off with her children, but basically made a LOT of impressive films. Nowadays, SHE seems to be the bigger star and she’s one of the lucky over 50 women in Hollywood who keeps getting offers. (Besides “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool” in which she plays Gloria Grahame, Bening has three more movies in the works.) She and Warren appeared quite happy at The Moving Image Salute to Annette Bening this week in New York. Also at the event was Timothy Chalamet from “Call Me By Your Name” looking rather handsome.

“Bugsy” brought them together–and what an auspicious pairing! It’s one of the best movies from the last 25 years, and Warren and Annette are stunning in it.
“The Grifters,” “Mars Attacks,” and “Valmont” are some of our other favorite early Annette films (not to mention her brief, but hilarious and memorable turn in “Postcards From The Edge”).
Annette’s one of the GREATS, absolutely.
That she hasn’t *yet* received a Best Actress Oscar (but Reese Witherspoon has!!!) is simply ridiculous.
Chalamet has quite the salad growing out of his skull. Perhaps it’s time to visit the local marine corp base for a haircut.
…………..think again!!
