Warren Beatty was born on March 30 in 1937. If you are unfamiliar with his repertoire as an American actor, producer, screenwriter and director...than all you need to know is to pick-up the very first film he made under Elia Kazan's direction and opposite Natalie Wood in Splendor in the Grass (1961)! The film was and still is gold and fortunately for Beatty he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the category Best Actor Drama.
Then, he achieved critical acclaim and power as a producer and star of Bonnie and Clyde in 1967. Which was nominated for 10 Academy Awards. Because of his work on Bonnie and Clyde, Beatty is generally regarded as the precursor of the New Hollywood generation, which included such filmmakers as Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Martin Scorsese.
Then in 1990, he bounced back when he produced, directed and starred in the saucy-saucy film, which I've seen as a young in over a hundred times, as the comic strip character Dick Tracy in the film of the same name. The film was one of the highest grossers of that year and also the highest-grossing film in Beatty's career to date.
