That all changed, however, when he met fellow actor Annette Bening in 1990.
“I always felt I wasn’t trying to avoid marriage,” he explained on “Today.”
“I was trying to avoid divorce.
Let’s meet Annette Bening and Warren Beatty’s four children.
“He’s a revolutionary, a genius, and my hero,” he declared.
For many years, Bening declined to talk about Stephen in interviews to protect his privacy.
“He’s managed something that’s very challenging with great style and great intelligence,” she reflected.
From a young age, he displayed an aptitude for writing.
“I’m sorry.
There’s nothing I can do but let time pass.”
“Stephen has always been a highly literary person,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
“I just read his latest poem that was just published; wow, it is so extraordinary.
I’m so proud of him, and yes, he was in The Paris Review!
He has carved his own way.”
The film explores the relationship between Beatty and co-director Christopher Berntsen, as trans and cis gay men respectively.
Embracing being born into Tinseltown royalty, he embarked on an acting career of his own.
In 2016, the then 22-year-old had a small role in the Coen Brothers' “Hail Caesar!
“, a homage to the golden age of Hollywood and its myriad scandals.
Two years later, he appeared in the film “UFO” alongside Gillian Anderson.
He is acting like close to his family.
“I’m an attentive father,” he said.
“I have to struggle somewhat not to be overly attentive.”
“But it’s ultimately very international, modern and fashionable!
In Paris, what’s more, It’s magical.”
She also revealed that her mom is her idol.
“She is the strong woman in my life,” she added.
Later that year, Isabel paid a moving tribute to Ella onInstagram, following her graduation from Juilliard.
So precocious, in fact, that she was developing a habit of reading her father’s bad reviews.
“Daddy, what’s the meanest thing anyone’s ever written about you?”
Warren recalled the quick-witted youngster asking him.
“Daddy, were you once a brash and rumpled star?”
Isabel’s penchant for reading movie reviews was an early indicator of her own affinity for the film industry.
Though she has acted in a number of short films, she ultimately hopes to venture into directing.
Her parents encouraged her filmmaking aspirations, introducing her to arthouse directors.
“I dream of being a director,” she enthused to Madame Figaro.
“My parents passed on to me an unconditional love for cinema.
Harmony Korine and Terrence Malick are my mentors.”
In 2017, the then 20-year-old wrote for the improvisational comedy series “Quality Sketch.”
She has also expressed her solidarity with striking WGA members.
“Once in a while I’ll say, ‘Did you ever see such and such?’
And they haven’t,” he mused.
“I said to my 19-year-old last year, ‘Have you ever seen Shampoo?’
and she was like, ‘Nooo.’
So there’s my legacy for you.
At least around here.”
“That’s the biggest thing that’s ever happened to me and their mother,” he said.
“That’s bigger than fame, and it came not a moment too soon.”
But in any event, she is thrilled by her mom’s continuing success and recognition.
“She’s the best in life,” she enthused to theAssociated Press.
She’s my best friend.”
