Perfect Pair
Years later Beatty opened up about how it felt to meet — and settle down with — Bening after years of living out his playboy persona.
“It took about 10 minutes [to fall in love with her],” he told New York Post. “Maybe five. I was so elated to meet her, and yet at the same time, I began to mourn the passing of a way of life.”
