Ella is aware of the privilege that comes with being the daughter of two acclaimed actors, she told Vogue in February 2024. However, she said she still hopes to add something new to the conversation.

“I totally acknowledge that there is an inherent privilege and exposure that comes from having well-known actors as parents,” she said. “And I really hope that I can offer something meaningful.”

From watching her parents on set when she was a child to becoming a star in her own right, here’s everything to know about Annette Bening and Warren Beatty’s daughter, Ella Beatty.

She was born in 2000

Annette and Warren welcomed their fourth child, Ella, on April 8, 2000. Before she was born, Ella already was joining her parents at industry events like the Academy Awards red carpet.

During an appearance on the Today show in March 2024, Annette reflected on the 1999 Oscars when she was heavily pregnant with Ella.

"It's so funny you asked me this because one time I was nominated I was extremely pregnant," she said. "I was just about to give birth, and I know how many years ago it was because that's my almost 24-year-old."

"So I remember that night and just the baby was moving so much because of the adrenaline that was coursing through my system. My husband, Warren Beatty, got a big award that night, so that's one that I'm remembering," she added.

She grew up accompanying her parents to sets and award shows

Ella may be a burgeoning star herself, but she grew up in her mom’s dressing rooms and on the set of her parent’s projects. She told Vogue that when she was a teenager, she visited her dad while he directed 2016’s Rules Don’t Apply.

She’s also been by her parents’ side on red carpets throughout her life, starting with the 27th Annual Kennedy Center Honors carpet in 2004 when she was just 4 years old. In 2016, she accompanied her parents to the 20th Century Women screening.

She graduated from The Juilliard School

In May 2022, Ella graduated with a degree in drama from The Juilliard School as one of 18 students in her class. There, she was trained under legendary instructors who taught her that she was a “vessel for a character,” she told Vogue, meaning it was better for people to know less about who she was.

However, the best lesson she learned there was to always be ready, she told Women’s Wear Daily in February 2024.

“My favorite thing that they said to us there was ‘stay ready so you don’t gotta get ready,’ ” she said.

Her parents have given her advice about navigating the acting industry

Growing up with actor parents meant that Ella always had people to turn to for advice as she dove into a career in acting. Most importantly, Ella told PEOPLE in January 2024, her mom always told her to "[be] kind, treat people with respect, work hard and be grateful."

She elaborated on the advice to Vogue, sharing that her mom always emphasized kindness above all, while her dad was strict about being on time.

“Be kind — because there’ll always be someone more beautiful, more charming, more interesting. If you show up and be kind, it goes a long way,” she said of her mom’s input.

Ella said that in addition to their words of wisdom, she also learned much of the art of acting from watching her parent’s work, down to how they prepared behind the scenes.

“Just watching my mom backstage, watching how hard she works, even something like watching the way she memorizes her lines because that’s how I learn my dialogue now,” she told WWD.

Her first major project was Ryan Murphy’s Feud

Ella put her training to use in her professional debut as Kerry O’Shea, Truman Capote’s surrogate daughter, in Ryan Murphy’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.

She told Vogue that while the show was shooting in 2023, she would show up on set even when she wasn’t scheduled to be just so she could watch and learn from her fellow actors. Ella added that Tom Hollander, who plays Capote, took her under his wing and helped her through her first professional gig.

“He came to my dressing room privately — not in front of anybody else. He didn’t want to, I think, embarrass me or make me feel like a newbie,” she said. “He was like, ‘Do you want to run lines? Do you want to talk about the scene? Do you want to talk to each other?’ I think he had been tipped off that I was new, that I was jumping on a moving train.”

She made her Broadway debut in March 2024

In March 2024, just two months after Feud debuted, Ella performed in her first Broadway production, Appropriate. The play, led by Sarah Paulson, centers around three siblings who come back to their late father’s Arkansas home to manage his estate.

The day after her debut, Ella’s family came out in support of her. Her mom gave her a hug and kiss backstage and she posed with Annette and two of her siblings — Isabel and Stephen — in her dressing room.
