Topeka, Kansas, USA:
Annette Carol Bening (nata il 29 maggio 1958) è un'attrice americana. Con una carriera che si estende per oltre quattro decenni, è nota per il suo lavoro versatile sia sullo schermo che sul palcoscenico. Bening ha ricevuto numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui un BAFTA Award, due Screen Actors Guild Awards e due Golden Globe, oltre a nomination per cinque Academy Awards, due Tony Awards e un Primetime Emmy Award, rendendola una delle poche artiste nominate per la Triple Crown of Acting senza vincere. Laureata alla San Francisco State University e all'American Conservatory Theater, Bening ha iniziato la sua carriera a teatro con la compagnia Colorado Shakespeare Festival nel 1980 e ha interpretato Lady Macbeth nel 1984 all'American Conservatory Theater. Ha debuttato a Broadway nella pièce di Tina Howe Coastal Disturbances (1987), per la quale ha ricevuto una nomination al Tony Award come Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista in una Pièce. Debuttando al cinema nel 1988, ha ottenuto ulteriore riconoscimento per il suo ruolo in The Grifters (1990), per il quale ha ricevuto la sua prima nomination all'Oscar. Questo successo continuò negli anni '90 e 2000 con ulteriori interpretazioni candidate all'Oscar nelle commedie drammatiche American Beauty (1999) e Being Julia (2004), che le valsero rispettivamente il BAFTA e il Golden Globe come Miglior Attrice. La performance di Bening come protagonista nel film televisivo britannico Mrs. Harris (2005) le è valso una nomination al Primetime Emmy Award come Miglior Attrice Protagonista in una Miniserie o Film. Nei decenni successivi, Bening ha ricevuto altre due nomination all'Oscar per i suoi ruoli da protagonista come madre lesbica in The Kids Are All Right (2010) e come nuotatrice Diana Nyad nel film biografico Netflix Nyad (2023), il primo dei quali le è valso anche un Golden Globe. È tornata a Broadway nella ripresa di All My Sons (2019) di Arthur Miller, ottenendo un'altra nomination al Tony come Miglior Attrice in una Pièce. Altri suoi ruoli in questo periodo includono i film 20th Century Women (2016), Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017), Captain Marvel (2019) e Death on the Nile (2022), oltre alla miniserie Apples Never Fall (2024).
