Annette Bening was a relatively late bloomer to film having spent her 20s in the theater but once she stepped on a set she was off to the races. From THE GRIFTERS and BUGSY to AMERICAN BEAUTY and THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, she's one of our most celebrated actresses. In this career conversation with Josh taped at the 92nd Street Y, she opens up about her creative process, the journey from stage to screen, and her latest performance in NYAD. #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #annettebening
