He was in several films I liked, Network, Superman, and in a little gem with Walter Matthau called Hopscotch.
Thanks for all the great hours of entertainment Ned!
His troubles are behind him, always were.
Deliverance is one of my favorite movies, but Ned was really good in “Homicide: Life on the Streets” too.
RIP Mr. Beatty.
he was suspended after saying “why don’t we just shoot four more of them and get the whole week off”...
the dc101 radio station was on connecticut avenue at the time and right in the heart of my towing territory at the time...
the protesters shut the area down...
His role in “Network” was phenomenal.
YOU have messed with the primal forces of Nature! And YOU WILL ATONE!
Very great clip. I had forgotten it.
I see what you did there.
Can’t recall a bad performance he ever turned in. “Network” probably topped them all.
Sorry to read this. It’s pouring rain so I watched movies this afternoon. I just finished “WW & The Dixie Dancekings” staring Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, and Ned Beatty.
RIP old friends
It’s been a while, but I sat next to him at a sushi joint on Rockville Pike a few years later.
Also invented the rear windshield wiper. RIP.
Otiisburgh. 🤣🤣
One of the greatest scenes I ever saw him in was in the movie Network. And incredible performance:

Lol! That’s it.
For real?
just on Roseanne
That movie prejudiced peoples idea of southern Appalachian mtns.
His scene in Network was one of the greatest ever. And even more relevant today.
