"McCabe
and Mrs. Miller"
|
"Warren? To be in love with
Warren Beatty? What girl can run that fast?"
- Eliza Kazan.
He is without a doubt one of, if
not the most, intriguing stars of his generation.
A pretty boy portraying Clyde, in 1967's "Bonnie
and Clyde", and portraying it well, helped
avoid any criticism from viewers, and cast him in
the limelight for inevitable future stardom. In
the years to follow, Beatty would dazzle, amaze,
and swoon his audiences in films, such as 1971's
"McCabe and Mrs. Miller", "Shampoo"
(1975), 1981's "Reds", and a film that
was easily his finest latter-day performance, 1991's
"Bugsy".
Warren is one of the only actors known
to continue being such a successful actor through
a series of decades where many new stars were born.
Yet with confidence and perseverance, did I mention
sheer talent, Beatty has remained on top. (CD) |
