Ella Beatty, born on April 8, 2000, in Los Angeles, is the daughter of actors Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. She recently appeared at two high-profile events during Paris Fashion Week: the Balmain show and the Balenciaga event. As the youngest of four siblings, she is the only one among them to have chosen a career in entertainment. Beatty earned a drama degree from the Juilliard School, a prestigious institution known for training performing artists, and has been active in theater, including a role in the Broadway play Appropriate, where she took over from Elle Fanning. Beatty was cast by Ryan Murphy, a well-known television producer, in the series Feud: Capote vs The Swans, where she played Kerry O'Shea, the adopted daughter of Truman Capote. She also appeared in the A24 film If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, which premiered at independent film festivals such as Sundance and the Berlinale. In 2026, she is set to take on her first leading role in the new season of Monster, a series also produced by Ryan Murphy. The show is expected to feature a new macabre heroine, Lizzie Borden, who was accused of murdering her father and stepmother in 1892. The series Monster will include a high-caliber cast, such as Vicky Krieps, Rebecca Hall, Billie Lourd, Jessica Barden, and Sarah Paulson. In an interview with Sarah Paulson published in Interview magazine, Beatty discussed her artistic heritage and the sense of responsibility she feels toward it. The trend of horror-themed productions is gaining momentum, with recent examples including the Cannes Film Festival's presentation of new horror figures such as Hannah Einbinder and Sophie Thatcher. Another recent horror-inspired production is The Shards, in which Kaia Gerber plays a role based on Bret Easton Ellis's novel. These projects highlight the growing interest in horror and macabre storytelling in contemporary cinema and television.
