She actually looked closer in resemblance to Virginia Hill than Annette Bening too. I like Annette but she was too gorgeous and not rough enough looking.
shareI loved Annette Bening too!
The problem is that your looking for an accurate portrayal and Bugsy was anything but.
Who should have played Siegel as Beatty looks nothing like him? What Mickey Cohen, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano?
shareBeatty looked over 50 in this. Seriously I think Sean Penn would have been better. Everyone else you mentioned worked rather well.
shareI think Beatty was over 50 when the movie was made. Penn is not a bad idea, but it would have been a very different film.
Kingsley was too tall and handsome for Meyer if we are casting by looks.
Eli Wallach would probably have worked for Meyer
shareBeatty, Kingsley, Graham, and Keitel were all too old for the roles, but that based on Beatty being too old .
shareI thought Kietel was okay and he looks 10 years younger than he actually is (kinda like DeNiro).
Graham and Kinglsey were portraying men who themselves were older than the real life Ben Siegel.
