RIP Ned Beatty 1937-2021
Sad news that actor Ned Beatty has died at 83. He was great in countless films.
His film debut was as Bobby in John Boorman鈥檚 excellent weekend-gone-awry聽Deliverance. Other notable performances included All the President's Men,聽Network (which he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for), as Lex Luthor鈥檚 sidekick Otis in聽Superman and聽Superman II, Spielberg鈥檚 1941, The Incredible Shrinking Woman,聽The Toy (a film I loved as a kid), the dean in Back to School, the warden in He Got Game, as Dexter in Ted Demme鈥檚 underrated聽Life, and as the voice of Lotso in Toy Story 3.

RIP Ned Beatty (1937-2021)
One of the all-time greats. Unmatched range. Improved everything he showed up in. Worked with Altman twice, in Nashville (1975) and Cookie's Fortune (1999).
