Born in Kansas and raised in San Diego, Bening was enrolled at a local college when she got a job as a dancer in a pre-show presented outside of San Diego's famed Old Globe Theatre. This led to a walk-on in a Shakespearean production and then two plays with the San Diego Repertory Theatre. She later graduated from San Francisco State University and was accepted by the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, where she trained until she joined the acting company. After appearing in summer Shakespearean festivals and regional productions, her career took her to New York. There, she received a Tony Award nomination and won the Clarence Derwent Award for most outstanding female debut performance of the season for her role in Tina Howe's play "Coastal Disturbances," staged by Carole Rothman (originally off-Broadway at the Second Stage and then on Broadway).
