Annette Bening | Episode 35

Thank you for joining us for this birthday bonanza episode of Don’t Know Her? as we celebrate Scott’s big 3-0. As a special birthday treat, Scott got free rein to pick whoever he liked to discuss in this episode. Who did he choose? Only Annette Bening!  Annette is a deservedly celebrated star of the silver screen and somebody we continue to want to see more dazzling performances from. With a back catalogue of roles as fabulous as her’s is, it was hard to know where to start, but we decided to focus on a variety of her more memorable turns: American Beauty (Sam Mendes, 1999), 20th Century Women (Mike Mills, 2016), The Grifters (Stephen Frears, 1990), Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool (2017) and even the widely maligned remake of Hollywood classic The Women (Diane English, 2008). With these films, we were able to gush about personal favourites, reassess older favourites and, well, talk about The Women… Michael then tests Scott with a 30th birthday-inspired quiz before they offer up suggestions for some sequels, remakes and other future fantasy films they’d love to see our beloved Annette starring in.
