BonnieC Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Why no "TCM Remembers" tribute to Ned Beatty, who passed away a couple of weeks ago?? I doubt I missed it since I have TCM on nearly all the time & have yet to ever miss one over the yeqrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Ned Beatty was a wonderful actor. I loved his performances in Deliverance, Superman and Network. He won a best supporting actor Oscar for his role in Network. He will be missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhite2000 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 There was another thread about him, right? I think I posted on it. I don't watch TCM a lot during baseball season, so I hadn't noticed the absence of a TCM Remembers spot for Beatty. If this is the case, it is indeed a critical oversight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Robards took home the Best Supporting Actor for ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN that year. Beatty was a wonderful character actor through and through. He could be a lovable doofus, or a real jerk (like in HOPSCOTCH like Nipkow pointed out), or just a regular every day guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Sorry for the mistake about Ned Beatty getting the Oscar for Network. Yes - a wonderful actor though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethluvsfilms Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 He really should have won an Oscar somewhere down the line. Even to this day he's still underappreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37kitties Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 An excellent supporting actor. Although he'll probably be most remembered as the rape victim of Deliverance, my favorite of his roles was as the C.I.A. chief who is comically tormented by Walter Matthau in Hopscotch (1980). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
