Warren Beatty: Town & Country

Despite an illustrious career with six Golden Globe wins and 14 Oscar nominations, Warren Beatty faced a major setback with the 2001 film Town & Country. The movie, which had a staggering $100 million budget, was a critical and commercial disaster.

Panned by critics and largely ignored by audiences, Town & Country became one of Hollywood’s most expensive flops. The failure deeply affected Beatty, leading him to step away from filmmaking for 15 years. This unexpected hiatus marked a significant pause in the career of one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors and directors.
