    I still feel that his most authentic acting performance was in “ Splendor in the Grass” … it was nuanced , profoundly moving and achingly real. The same could be said for his co-star, Natalie Wood. The film holds up extremely well with a message that speaks to young people generation after generation.

      The last 10 minutes of SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS were so true, so fraught with emotions that every adult has experienced. Beatty & Wood's acceptance of life and maturity was heartbreaking.

      I'm going to have to agree with that 👍👍 . A lot had to do with Kazan's directing which was great in brining out emotional moments, which were also demonstrated in East of Eden with James Dean. Warren and Natalie were great in that movie. Shout out also to Pat Hingle.

      @@ericthered760 Have you read Kazan's autobiography? A LIFE. Painfully honest, great insight into his directing technique. Since he cast using the Actor's Studio, he knew the actor could perform. Kazan would converse and get to know the individual's emotional history. Then when directing a scene where he felt the actor didn't go deep enough, he'd pull them aside and ask, "Remember how you felt when your dog got run over? I want you to use that emotion." Ruthless but brilliant.

    In 1987 I moved to Sherman Oaks, CA. The evening I landed at LAX, a friend of mine for many years and had been living in LA for many years said, "I'm going to take you to a landmark restaurant in Hollywood." He took me to, Muso & Franks. It was on a Sunday about 7-8 pm, before we sat in our booth with the high backs I recognized the man eating alone next to us. It was Warren Beatty,

    In 1971, my girlfriend heard from her friend that MCCABE & MRS. MILLER was an interesting film. We drove 30 miles and saw it’s last screening on its last night at a second-run theatre. There were only 2 other people in the auditorium. We were blown away. It was like seeing the unveiling of a masterpiece. As we left the theatre, a worker was up on a ladder removing the M-C-C-A-B-E red plastic letters from the theatre's marquee. Thank you Robert Altman, Julie Christie and Warren Beatty. The GF became and remains my wife. She doesn't remember that night at all.

    This was absolutely hilarious. What made it so is that he and Ben are friends. Nothing really usual about Beatty here...as the football coach famously said, "He was who we thought he was." Beatty never enjoyed talk shows or a lot of non-project related public interviews in his prime and I doubt he'd be here if not for his relationship with Ben. This is the same not-much-to-say Beatty I remember from the 1970's and 80's - with added age. Knowing his general dislike for being interviewed, you have to commend Mr. Beatty for doing this. Sure, he didn't give you all the usual career back stories that most guests do, but that never was his style. He wasn't much different decades ago, so he has remained himself. Impressive.

      Ben says here he’s had several (or maybe many) meals with Warren & yet he’s so awkward with him. If he’s so caught up trying to be respectful or kiss up to him, he really was the wrong one to interview him. This was just a bunch of nothing, which is such a waste, considering what a great life & career Warren has had!

      I have a feeling the problem was that going out to dinner with Warren is a very different experience than interviewing him in front of an audience. I think Warren Beatty keeps a couple of personalities in his pocket... one for when he's out to dinner with friends... another for interviews in front of an audience. Mankewitz got a different Beatty tha he was used to and had trouble dealing with it, But it was fun all the same.

    • @MrDLOC11
      @MrDLOC11 2 года назад +3

      Warren gets bored talking about himself and will always deflect on anything personal. He'd rather talk about someone else, or rather not have to talk at all. He's a good sport but there's little benefit in revealing interviews he usually tries to avoid.

If you see this warren you must have a nack for sparking people's interest because after seeing bugsy I became quite the authority on that man going so far as traveling from my home in seattle to the mansion in Beverly Hills were siegel was shot and looking through the very same window through which he was assassinated.

I ORIGINALLY SAW "HEAVEN CAN WAIT" IN THE MOVIE THEATER (Sunrise mall, massapequa, Long Island, New York) in 1978 when first came out in theatres. And I love the music by David Grusin. I MET WARREN BEATTY AT LAX IN AROUND CIRCA 1989 OR SO; HE WAS BOARDING FLIGHT AT AA; I HAD JUST DEPARTED THE PLANE (it was sitting at the gate and I had just come off after talking to Faye Dunaway, who was in First Class with a man with her, and she was intrigued by my autograph book, as she said "OH I KNOW THAT PERSON...", and she was dressed in a man's tuxedo with a red carnation in lapel, while nobody else was on the airplane yet), so when i came off the plane, Warren Beatty was coming towards the plane, wearing sunglasses; i usually would do the same with celebrities: ask for an autograph, and ask for a picture of the celebrity, and ask for a photo of I with the celeb, and Warren Beatty said YES, so got his autograph and picture of him and person took a photo of us together! Then he boarded the plane... and to me, was ironic, as he was boarding the same plane with Faye Dunaway, and both played together in movie "BONNIE AND CLYDE"! Afterwards, the rep who was with Beatty, said to me, "You are lucky; normally he will not do that". TO ME, both he and she were great to me and were very nice to me, and love them both. AND I do own some of their movies on dvd and bluray and laserdisc. As I said: I LOVE, AND I OWN, "HEAVEN CAN WAIT" (1978): on laserdisc, on dvd, and on bluray. God bless Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Just think: I met Bonnie and Clyde!

    When you said that we made such a pretty pair

    Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
    To see the total eclipse of the sun
    Well you're where you should be all the time

    Or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend, and...

      Well now they've quoted her as saying only the second verse is about Warren Beatty and that the rest of the song is about other men ... in other words that the song is a composite .
      I wonder why she doesn't name the other men . I wonder if it's because she can't remember who some of them are .
      Maybe she doesn't want them to feel flattered that she actually put them in a song .

Of course Close Encounters and Star Wars. Just a great time for movies. Warren also was terrific in Bonnie and Clyde and Splendor in the Grass. Reds was too left for me, but it was masterful mostly just too damn long. Great actor and supremely entertaining.

      Warren had to ask Ben to repeat questions and sometimes lost his train of thought - I'm guessing that this may be due to increasing deafness and perhaps dementia. It may also be due to other factors, but Warren is getting up there and, unfortunately, these issues come with the territory of getting old -

    Prior to marrying Bening, Beatty was notorious for his large number of romantic relationships that received generous media coverage, having been linked to over 100 female celebrities. Leslie Caron said "Warren always had girlfriends who resembled his sister". Cher stated that "Warren has probably been with everybody I know". Beatty woke Caron up during the night, she recalled, telling her that he was worried that she was not thinking of him. Caron later realized that it was a sign of his narcissism.Warren Beatty received the Academy Award for best director (Reds, (1981) and the Irving G.Thalberg Memorial Award in 2000. He gave a beautiful performance in Splendor in the Grass (1961). He is 85 years old. His sister Shirley is 88.
