60 of 81 · most liked firstBorn 30 Mar 1937, actor Warren Beatty. He made his acting debut as a teenager in love in the drama Splendor in the Grass (1961), but is probably best remembered for his role as Clyde Barrow in Bonnie & Clyde. The film won 2 Oscars and was the biggest box office success of 1967. #WarrenBeatty

neutral · AI labelView post →#Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 118/1000: SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS This Kazan-directed drama film proved two points for me: 1) Beatty makes an impressive debut as the son of a Kansas town's most powerful guy; and 2) Natalie is beautifully adept at playing an emotionally troubped gal.

positive · AI labelView post →After having been repeatedly told that Natalie's not good in the movie and sort of believing that, I've come to think that she's quite, quite swell. Most actresses can play Louise or Gypsy but not both, and I think she does a great job. I also adore her in/and Splendor in the Grass.

Beloved for her 1970 masterpiece WANDA, as well as her roles in WILD RIVER, SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, and FADE IN (TV movie).

I know her best as Warren Beatty's sister in Splendor in the Grass, and for Wanda, the acclaimed 1970 independent film she wrote, directed, and starred in. She died in 1980 at age 48.

positive · AI labelView post →I recently showed SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS to my little local film club. We're all over 60, and most had seen it on TV as teenagers. Before it started, I asked whether people thought it was B&W or color (I really had no idea). Everyone thought B&W. Of course! Because we'd seen it on B&W TV!

positive · AI labelView post →Natalie Wood was a presence over the likes of Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Bette Davis, and Elizabeth Taylor. Her class and sophistication was superbly unique. Splendor in the Grass was another excellent film. Warren Beatty was just a supporting actor. As far as I'm concerned Robert Redford was too. 😉

neutral · AI labelView post →SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS // This movie is out of its MIND. Nobody was better at portraying complex dumb guys than Warren Beatty. There’s a scene where Beatty is in a pizzeria in New Haven and he goes, “what IS pizza?” And I remember my soul momentarily leaving my body. Natalie Wood is perfect.
