Ned Beatty, the Oscar-nominated character actor known for “Deliverance,” “Network” and “Superman,” has died at 83
The Oscar-nominated actor also had roles in ‘Deliverance’ and ‘Superman’; Credits include more than 150 movies and TV showsAssociated PressNEW YORK—Ned Beatty, the Oscar-nominated character actor who in half a century of American movies, including “Deliverance,” “Network” and “Superman,” was a booming, indelible presence in even the smallest parts, has died. He was 83.
Mr. Beatty’s manager, Deborah Miller, said Mr. Beatty died Sunday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by friends and loved ones. After years in regional theater, Mr. Beatty was cast in 1972’s “Deliverance” as Bobby Trippe, the happy-go-lucky member of a male river-boating party terrorized by backwoods thugs. The scene in which Mr. Trippe is brutalized and forced to “squeal like a pig” became the most memorable in the movie and established Mr. Beatty as an actor whose name moviegoers may not have known but whose face they always recognized.
“For people like me, there’s a lot of ‘I know you! I know you! What have I seen you in?’” Mr. Beatty remarked without rancor in 1992. Mr. Beatty received one Oscar nomination, as supporting actor for his role as corporate executive Arthur Jensen in 1976’s “Network.” He contributed to some of the most popular movies of his time and worked constantly, his credits including more than 150 movies and TV shows.
