Henry Warren Beatty (born in Richmond, Virginia on March 30, 1937) is an American actor who left his liberal arts studies at Northwestern University after a year to move to New York to study acting under the famous acting coach Stella Adler. He started his career making appearances on television, and on his sole Broadway appearance, he garnered a Tony Award nomination. His film debut as the rich and popular football star in Splendor in the Grass (1961) earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination. He followed this with a string of critical and commercial hits. At 29, he produced and acted as notorious American outlaw, Clyde Barrow, in his most significant movie, the biographical crime film Bonnie and Clyde (1967), for Warner Bros., considered to be a milestone in American movie history as it kicked off the New Hollywood era. He continued to direct, produce, write, and act in films, many of which received nominations and awards: 14 Oscar nominations, including four Best Actor, four Best Picture, two Best Director, three Original Screenplay, and one Adapted Screenplay – winning once for Best Director; two BAFTA nominations; 10 Golden Globe nominations, winning one for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and another for Best Director.

At 88, he currently lives in Los Angeles, out of the limelight and only making rare public appearances. For his contributions to the arts, he has been honored with the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1992 and inducted in the California Hall of Fame in 2013.
