Warren and Annette through the years
They met in 1991 during auditions for the part of Virginia Hill in "Bugsy". Many
actresses had been interviewed already, and although Beatty already had a
crush on her from afar after having seen her in several movies, he purposely
did not mention her as a candidate until the schedule to start shooting the
movie became very tight. She had to read like all the other actresses before
her. Director Barry Levinson saw the chemistry and of course Annette got
the part.
Levinson, the rest of the cast and crew had no idea that a serious
relationship was developing between the two lead actors.
Daughter Kathlyn was born in January 1992 and two months later Warren
(a few weeks before his 55th birthday) and Annette (2 months before her
34th birthday) were married.
They have 4 kids in total: son Benjamin (1994) and 2 more daughters Isabelle (1997)
and Ella Corinne (2000), all are named after Warren's parents.
