WASHINGTON, DC  — Iconic actor, producer and director Warren Beatty gives his first in-depth interview in nearly two decades in the October/November issue of AARP the Magazine.

The famously private superstar delves deep into his personal life, dishing on subjects from his reputation as a sex symbol both on and off screen to his enduring marriage to actress Annette Bening.

With remarkable candor, Beatty reveals the man he is today: a Hollywood playboy-turned-family man ready to reclaim the spotlight as co-star, director, producer, and writer of the new romantic comedy-drama Rules Don’t Apply. Beatty plays billionaire Howard Hughes—a figure with whom he shares not only the qualities of ambition, charm, and curiosity but also, as Beatty admits, a tendency to be a control freak.  Read more about this special interview with Warren Beatty at www.aarp.org/magazine
