Annette Bening has had a long and impressive career as an actress, starring in a wide variety of movies. Along the way she demonstrated that she can carry a film alongside some of the most talented actors and actresses in Hollywood. Here are 5 of her more memorable roles:
“The Grifters” (1990)
Roy Dillan (John Cusack) is a small-time con man whose estranged mother Lilly (Anjelica Huston) is also in the game. She comes back into his life just in time to save him after he’s beaten up when a grift goes wrong. Annette plays Myra Langtry, who also happens to be a small-time grifter, and Roy finds himself caught between these two women in his life.
Each of them are brilliant in this dark film that explores the worst parts of human nature, but Annette steals the show as the young, beautiful and charming Myra. Annette’s full frontal nude scene in the film showing off her amazing figure adds even more buzz around this performance. Her performance also earns her a Best Supporting Actress nomination and helps launch Annette’s impressive run of hits in the 90s, some of which we’ll cover here.
Meg Ryan ruled the 80s and 90s with her incredible beauty and charm, as she was one of the most bankable actresses of her time. She had a charisma that worked so well on screen, and her she really shines in the comedy “Innerspace” starring opposite Dennis Quaid and Martin Short. Here’s an interview from 1987 as she discusses her role in the film.
Here’s a great striptease scene from “We’re the Millers” with Jennifer Aniston showing she still has the goods. There’s nothing like a good stripper scene for an actress to show off her body. See the full video here!
