Bugsy

Warren Beatty (March 30): In the early years of his career, Beatty's good looks and legendary prowess with the ladies threatened to overshadow his truly trailblazing film career, which started fairly conventionally with films such as "Splendor in the Grass." But when he personally... more championed the dark drama "Bonnie and Clyde," a generation of American film was launched. Other memorable roles include "McCabe & Mrs. Miller," "Shampoo," "Heaven Can Wait," "The Parallax View" and his Oscar-winning directorial debut, "Reds." Later roles featured "Bugsy" (in which he met his wife, Annette Bening) and the political satire "Bulworth." And talent runs in the family; his only sibling is older sis Shirley MacLaine.
