Annette Bening was born on May 29, 1958 in Topeka, Kansas, the youngest of four children. Her family moved to California when she was young, and she grew up there. She graduated from San Francisco University and began her acting career with the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, eventually moving to New York where she achieved a Tony-award nomination in 1987 for her work in the Broadway play "Coastal Disturbances" and got her first film roles, in a few TV movies. Her first big-screen role was in The Great Outdoors (1988).
Bening's career turned an important corner the following year when she played in The Grifters (1990) which gained her the first of several Academy award nominations. Then Warren Beatty cast Bening as Virginia Hill, in his Bugsy (1991). Bening married Beatty in 1992. The couple has four children. The couple then collaborated on the extravagant flop Love Affair (1994), though the next year her career rebounded with her turn as Queen Elizabeth in Richard III (1995). Notable performances have since included a role in American Beauty (1999), and in Being Julia (2004) which she won the Golden Globe for best actress.
