His legendary love life.
Early-life:
Born Henry Warren Beaty (he added the second 't' to his name later) on March 30, 1937, in Richmond, Virginia. His father was a professor of psychology, his mother a drama teacher. His older sister is the actress Shirley MacLaine. Beatty went to Washington-Lee High School, which was later attended by Sandra Bullock. He turned down 10 football scholarships to enrol at Northwestern University, but dropped out after a year. He went on to study acting with legendary teacher Stella Adler in New York.
Career:
Warren's TV debut came in a 1957 episode of Kraft Television Theatre. He had a recurring role in series The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, and gained acclaim on Broadway before hitting the big time with his first film, Splendor in the Grass. His debut movie as producer, 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, was a critical and commercial success. Since then, his output has been sporadic and at times disappointing. Highlights include McCabe and Mrs Miller, Heaven Can Wait (his first film as writer, director and star), The Parallax View, Shampoo, Reds (for which he won the Best Director Oscar), Dick Tracy, Bugsy and Bulworth.
