'''Warren Beatty''' (born 1937) is a noted American actor, producer, screenwriter and director whom may be so vain as inferredimplied by the second verse of that [[Carly Simon]]'s song, but he proved a real innovator from the 1960s onward both artistically and what is possible for artists' careers in American film.
 
He started out in 1950s Hollywood as a young actor in TV productions as classy as ''[[Studio One]]'' and ''Playhouse90'' as well as meat and potatoes work such as a regular in ''[[The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis]]''. He then hit the big time quickly in film with the hit, ''[[Splendor In The Grass]]'' that made him an instant star in the medium with a [[The Casanova|reputation for his randy pastimes]] and his reserved attitude to the press.
Line 10:
At that point, Beatty resolved to have more control of his projects by becoming a film producer himself, an unheard ambition for an pretty boy actor that young. However, he proved that Hollywood thinking wrong by producing the film, ''[[Bonnie and Clyde]]'', an innovative and daring hit that helped usher in [[New Hollywood]].
 
Afterward, Beatty has distinguished himself with a string of noted films in which he served in various functions in different combinations whether it be acting, directing or producing. They include ''[[Shampoo]]'', ''[[Heaven Can Wait]]'', ''[[Film/Reds (film)|Reds]]'', ''[[Dick Tracy (film)|Dick Tracy]]'', ''[[Bulworth]]'', and ''[[Bugsy]]''. Unfortunately, his career has included major bombs like ''[[Ishtar]]'' and his own production, ''[[Town And Country]]''. Since [[Star-Derailing Role|that latter movie bombed in 2001]], he has not acted in any films.
 
However, these downturns do not change the fact Beatty made it possible to actors and other artist to stretch their wings and try for far more in their careers than the old stereotypes ever made seem possible.
