Happy Birthday Annette Bening



Happy birthday wishes go out today to one of my favorite actresses, Annette Bening. Born in Topeka, Kansas, Annette Francine Bening turns 50 years old today. Annette moved to San Diego, Ca. with her family when she was young and worked on a charter boat as a cook. She graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in theatre arts.


Annette has won one Golden Globe award, one British Academy of Film and Television Arts award, and one Screen Actors Guild award. She has also been nominated for five Golden Glove awards, three Academy Awards, and one Emmy.

I confess I haven't seen all of her movies, but I really enjoyed her in The American President with Michael Douglas, Martin Sheen and Michael J. Fox. This photo is from a scene where she is getting to go to bed with the president, played by Michael Douglas.



I also enjoyed her in this movie, "Open Range", with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall. She ends up hooking up with Kevin Costner at the end.



She's married to sort of a famous guy, you may have heard of him, Warren Beatty. The met while filming the movie "Bugsy" and married in 1992. They have four children together, three daughters and a son. So Happy Birthday Annette Bening!!!
