An Original Vintage Photographic Transparency (measures 16" x 20" [41 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Warren Beatty was born Henry Warren Beaty in Richmond, Virginia in 1937. His sister, who is three years older was born Shirley MacLean Beaty, but when she entered show business she changed her name to Shirley MacLaine. Beaty (he added a second "t" when he entered show business) was a star football player in high school, but his sister's success encouraged him to pursue drama, and he turned down football scholarships to study drama, first at Northwestern University and then with Stella Adler in New York City. He appeared in a lot of off-Broadway productions and TV shows, and in a single Broadway play, where he was nominated for a Tony. One of his most notable early roles was as rich teen Milton Armitage on TV's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. In 1961, he starred (opposite Natalie Wood) in his first movie, the excellent Splendor in the Grass. His next few movies were not as successful (he might have had a hit in What's New Pussycat, but he clashed with Woody Allen and quit the production), but 1965's Mickey One, while it did not do well at the box office, teamed Beatty with director Arthur Penn, and they re-teamed in 1967 with Bonnie and Clyde (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), which was a huge success, and made Beatty a superstar. The 1970s was a great decade for Beatty, for he made seven movies, including both commercial and some critical successes, such as McCabe & Mrs. Miller, The Parallax View, Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film). But this success led him to produce, direct, write and star in Reds (for which he won the Best Director Academy Award, and was nominated for Best Actor Academy Award role), and the movie was not very commercially successful. He then took six years off, and returned in the major bomb, Ishtar, where he and co-star Dustin Hoffman each took roles against their "type". It looked like Beatty's star years were winding down, but he returned strong with Dick Tracy and Bugsy (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film) in 1990 and 1991. But that revived success was short-lived, for his Love Affair and Bulworth did not do very well at the box office, and his 2001 Town & Country is said to have lost more money for its backers than any movie ever made, and Beatty has not made another movie since! Of course Beatty is as well known for his off-screen romances as for his on screen career (did Carly Simon write "You're So Vain" about him?), and he frequently had affairs with his co-stars, even the married ones. He seemed to be certain to never marry, but in 1992 he married Annette Bening, and they are still married and have four children! As of 2021, Warren is still alive at the age of 84! Important Added Info: Note that this is part of a remarkable find of 33 16" x 20" color transparencies from the 1960s (which we are auctioning in 33 separate auctions)! Prior to being consigned these 33, we had never auctioned even one transparency that was over 8" x 10" in size, and in fact, we did not even know that any studios made them larger. Each of the 33 is of a Hollywood star of the 1960s (a few of them we could not immediately identify, but we imagine someone viewing them will quickly let us know who those stars are). These are surely studio produced, as they are very high quality, and can certainly be used to make poster size blow-ups of the images. Unfortunately, we do not have a scanner large enough to scan these, so we took a picture of them with a light source behind them, but that only gives you a good idea of what the image looks like, and does NOT show you how incredibly high quality each transparency is! This is a very special auction of 366 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes, and also lots of sets of 35mm slides. EVERY single item in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size. Also note that this auction is for one or more transparencies, and every one of the auctions of transparencies we are currently running have been scanned expertly. This auction contains the scan(s) of the transparencies in this auction, and, except in the case of very few larger sets of transparencies, we scanned each one individually (see above for what we did on this specific auction), and we have added an "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. The winner of this auction and ONLY the winner of this auction will, upon request, be sent the UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the transparencies in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make positive prints of the items they purchased, if they desire. However, if it indicates above that we did not scan all the transparencies in this auction (which is only true of a very few transparencies), then of course we can only send you the photos we took of the ones we did not scan. Condition: very good to fine. The transparency is in excellent condition and will be sent to the winning bidder in a protective plastic bag! Learn More about condition grades
