Warren Beatty, 30 de março de 1937 (idade 82 anos)
Warren was born on March 30, 1937, to a sister named Shirley MacLaine, who would also become an actress. His parents were teachers and he loved playing American football. This was how he achieved his first success. But it was Shirley who told him that he had the potential to become a great actor.
He started out as a stage assistant. In 1959, he made his first appearance on television, directed by Elia Kazan. During this period, the director invited him to participate in The Cry of Sex, alongside the already veteran, albeit still a teenager, Natalie Wood. The two began dating almost immediately, but she was just another of many with whom he had an affair.
The film was nominated for an Oscar in 10 categories and Warren became a successful actor of the new generation. With Bonnie & Clyde, a film that he starred in, directed and produced, Warren was finally respected as a filmmaker, being an absolute success with critics and audiences, and being nominated for 10 Oscars.
This was followed by great successes: Where Men Are Men, The Plot, Shampoo, Heaven Can Wait and Reds (for which he won the Oscar for Best Director), among others. Despite having beauties on his list, he was only married once, to fellow actress Annette Bening. The two have been married since 1992 and have four children: Stephen, Denjamin, Ella and Isabel.
