Biography

Sportsman then pianist of bar, the brother of Shirley MacLaine launches out in the cinema at the beginning of the the Sixties. Elia Kazan offers its first role in to him the Fever in the blood (1961) in which it plays Bud Stamper , a teenager with problems. At the sides of Natalie Wood, it is immediately the revelation; he is consequently regarded as one of most promising of his generation. He will come from there has to play with all the major realizers of the Actors Studio: Arthur PEN, Mike Nichols, Tennessee Williams…

Its “beautiful mouth” makes of him a “pet” of the studios and the public. It in addition attracts itself the favors of the more beautiful women and one lends to him adventures with Joan Collins, Leslie Charon, Madonna, Julie Christie, Liv Ullmann, Carly Simon, It Macpherson, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Candice Bergen, Cher, Britt Ekland and even Brigitte Bardot.

It turns much until in 1967: the Face of the pleasure of Paolo di Leo, the Angel of violence of John Frankenheimer, Lilith of Robert Rossen, Mickey One of Arthur PEN, Promised Her Anything of Arthur Hiller (an English film romantic), the Gentleman of London of Jack Smight and finally dedication with Bonnie and Clyde of Arthur PEN in which he plays with Faye Dunaway and which is worth a nomination with the Oscar to him of better actor.

It is interested then in other trades of the cinema: he writes, produced and realizes. First of all, he writes John McCabe (1971) in which he will be directed by Robert Altman. In 1975, it writes, product and plays in Shampoo . Lastly, in 1978, it carries out its first film the sky can await (a remake of the recalcitrant Défunt of Alexander Hall) in which it reserves the main role; history of quarter-back regarded as died by error and which returns to the life in the body of a millionaire recently assassinated. Success is with go.

It connects with another realization: Reds (1981), true story of an American journalist who leaves in Russia to cover the Red Revolution of 1917; it returns fascinated to the United States where it will try to launch the same revolution. It is rewarded by the Oscar for the best realizer for his very beautiful work.

It turns less from now on. In 1987, it plays in the comedy Ishtar of Elaine May. In 1990 leaves Dick Tracy , adaptation of the Cartoon éponyme with Al Pacino and Madonna. Warren Beatty put much style in his very beautiful film, unfortunately success was not with go.

He exploits then in Bugsy of Barry Levinson (1991), a film of gangsters the birth of Las Vegas; in 1994, in the comedy of Glenn Gordon Charon, Go with the destiny and more recently in Potins society men & partial amnesias (2001) of Peter Chelsom.

These three films as Dick Tracy are of cuisants failures to the boxoffice.

Fortunately, meanwhile it realizes in 1998 Bulworth (film that it also wrote and produced, and in which it plays obviously); history of the senator Jay Bulworth so disgusted of the lies, the corruption and other black aspects of the policy which it puts a contract on his own head and decides to completely ruin his reputation by revealing at the great day all these stories. It is there that it falls in love with a very pretty black woman… It is in this film that one discovers, for one of the very first times, the actress Halle Berry. Business success and of criticisms.
