The most recent I remember him from is Shooter. That was with Mark Wahlberg as a sniper, and Danny Glover

Here's a famous scene he was in...



Dueling Banjos was a mega hit. And it wasn't even two banjos.

I was just looking at Ned Beatty's filmography on IMDB. He has 165 credits. He was always a good actor, so for a time he was appeared in lots of movies.

Didn't realize he was in
- Exorcist II: The Heretic
- All the President's Men
- Nashville
- Toy Story 3 (vocal)
- Silver Streak
- Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean
- Roseanne TV Series (He played Roseanne's Dad!)
- 1941

in addition to Deliverance and the first two Superman films.

I hope he's in Heaven, if he went to Hell I suspect that he's squealing like a pig.

I saw a picture of him today and don't recognize him at all. I don't know if I ever saw anything he was in.

Beatty was great. I remember him from the Superman movies and of course the "squeal like a pig" scene from Deliverance. I also remember him distinctly for his curly hair and even some of his roles in some 80's films. Films like The Incredibly Shrinking Woman and The Toy.

Frank Bonner dies at 79.

It's strange. Now that the cast of WKRP is dying of old age, I suddenly feel a cold chill on the back of my neck.

Have you tried 22 tonight? I said 22.

Also McHale's Navy.

I know that show was very corny, but I really liked it. I will rewatch all of the episodes every few years.

McHale's Navy is an offshoot of a tv special called "Seven against The Sea.'. I don't think it has ever been officially released but I used to see people selling VHS copies so I'm sure it is out there. It had a very different tone to it. I was only a casual watcher, but didn't the crew transfer to the Atlantic for one season?
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.
