Happy Birthday wishes go out to Annette Carol Bening who turns 54 years young today. Annette is a four-time Oscar nominee for her roles in "The Grifters", "American Beauty", "Being Julia", and "The Kids Are All Right."  Annette has a BA degree from San Francisco State University in theater arts.

Annette is married to some guy named Warren Beatty and they have four children, two boys and two girls. Annette met Warren Beatty on the set of "Bugsy".

While I haven't seen any of the above mentions movies, I really enjoyed her in "Open Range" with Kevin Costner and "The American President" with Michael Douglas. 

I love the way she smiles as much with her eyes as she does with her mouth.
