Annette Bening Day

*Today--by my decree--is Annette Bening Day! Please note:

*Bening's four Oscar nominations are as follows: Lead Actress ("American Beauty," "Kids Are All Right," "Being Julia"), Supporting Actress ("The Grifters").
*Bening is currently up for a Tony Award ("All My Sons").
*Like her one-time co-star, Julianne Moore, Bening does not look for "strong female" roles. She looks for roles where she can recognize an interesting slice of humanity.
*Bening auditioned for "Dick Tracy," and though Warren Beatty didn't cast her, he said, "That's the person I will marry!"
*Bening's "Valmont" is like "Dangerous Liaisons," but with Colin Firth! And Michelle Pfeiffer!
*You can see Bening opposite Meryl Streep--briefly--in "Postcards from the Edge."
*I think "Mother and Child" is under-rated....if you're looking for a semi-obscure moment when you can still see Ms. Bening shine....

Attention must be paid! Tune in to the Tony Awards in under one month!!
