This is what is called talent in the flesh … Critics still say that the great and mighty Warren Beatty is the best thing that could happen to Hollywood.
Childhood and youth
Warren Beatty was born March 30, 1937 in the American town of Richmond.
His family was a believer, his parents professed Baptism. Despite his religious views, his father was a teacher of psychology at the institute, and his mother was a teacher.
As a schoolboy, Warren was an avid football fan. He even accepted several offers from sports colleges, but ended up rejecting them all.
Shirley's older sister was fond of theater at that time. She spoke so contagiously about the backstage life that the boy also wanted to try himself as an actor. Shirley lived on stage, raving about her. And this enthusiasm was passed on to Warren.
At that time, the boy had already grown up and got a job. At night, he worked part time at the club, and during the day he studied drama at the theater school in New York. Together with her sister they played in school productions.
Shirley subsequently became a famous person in Hollywood and was nominated 6 times for the Academy Award.
Warren did not graduate from drama school, leaving it in the first year.
Carier start
The young man began to actively go to auditions, upholstering the thresholds of film studios. And the efforts were not in vain, luck smiled at the guy - he was taken by the host of the morning TV show.
In the theater at that time, too, were successful. He received an award for "Best Actor in a Play".
In 1960, the young man voluntarily surrendered to the American army, having conscientiously served a year and returning home demobilized.
He himself would never have decided on this act, if not for the fear that he might be called up at any moment.
Warren reasoned that it would be more logical to serve now, so that in the future he would not be taken by surprise and spoil his career.
The actor came to the big screen thanks to the picture "Splendor in the Grass".
For participation in this film, Warren was given the Golden Globe Award.
Later Beatty participated in many Hollywood films. His track record has more than a dozen successful films. The most famous of them are Mrs. Stone's Roman Spring, Lilith, Mickey One, and the naive and touching comedy Promise Her Something.
All the tapes with his participation had a positive response from the public and critics.
The star of Warren ascended to the sky. He became one of the most famous young actors of the time.
Talented producer
The year 1965 struck Beatty for change. He sharply made a 90-degree turn and changed direction.
Deciding to leave the theater and cinema, Warren opened his own production company.
The picture "Bonnie and Clyde" became the biggest adventure of the novice producer.
Nobody believed in him; a crushing failure prophesied to him. But the young man was unshakable, like a rock. He persuaded the film studio to allocate funding for the shooting of this film.
Everyone dissuaded him from this crazy undertaking, referring to the fact that the popularity of films about gangsters had long since sunk into oblivion. But Warren did not give up. He not only completely produced the picture, but also played a major role in it.
As a result, the film made the impression of an exploding bomb. Bonnie and Clyde had an amazing box office, and was also nominated more than ten times for the Academy Award.
It was a real success.
Warren has established himself as a talented producer who can be trusted. After the take-off of the picture, his film studio showed rapid growth, it confidently gained momentum.
We can say that a new era has begun. Beatty began to allocate funding for subsequent risky and bold projects.
Warren, as an endless source of creativity, gave out one idea after another. Each of his new films was more successful than the previous one.
For the painting "Heaven Can Wait, " he received four awards at once: for acting, directing, producing and writing. As a well-aimed hunter, aiming once, he killed several birds with one stone.
On his account a huge number of films that blew up the audience, gathering warm applause.
Warren, as an unsurpassed chef could make a film so that it was impossible to break away from it.
2001 was a kind of timeout for the successful producer. He played in the film "City and Village", which turned out to be unsuccessful and did not live up to his expectations.
For Warren, this was a low blow. He was always accustomed to winning without losing. And here is such a disappointment. Unable to cope, he left the film studio for 15 years.
In 2016, Warren again appeared on the screens, starring in the movie “Out of the rules”, playing the role of an outstanding millionaire.
The fans liked the picture, but in terms of budget it was not as successful as the previous masterpieces of the eminent producer.
