Annette Bening dedicates Hollywood star to husband Beatty
2006-11-10
Oscar-nominated actress Annette Bening was honoured with a star on Hollywood's "Walk of Fame," marking the occasion with a tribute to husband Warren Beatty. Bening, given Oscar nods for "The Grifters", "American Beauty" and "Being Julia", became the 2,324th celebrity to see her name set into a star on the stretch of pavement on Hollywood Boulevard. The 48-year-old actress said she was grateful for the support of actor-director husband Beatty, who stood by her side at the morning ceremony, throughout her successful career. "I always wanted a family so when I got to be a grown-up in the movies, I found my husband, and he's the person I'm the most grateful to, because he makes moments like this take on the proper perspective," she said. "I love my work, I love my craft, and I feel that's a journey I'm still in the midst of." Bening began acting with the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco before moving to New York where she forged a successful stage career. She made her film debut in 1988 in "The Great Outdoors" before winning the first of her three Oscar nominations for her portrayal of a con artist in the "The Grifters." That film led to Bening's casting for "Bugsy", where she starred opposite Beatty in the bio-pic about mobster Bugsy Siegel. She is currently appearing in "Running with Scissors", a comedy-drama about a dysfunctional family.
