Ned Beatty, who made an indelible first impression in Deliverance before turning in noteworthy efforts in Nashville, Network and Homicide: Life on the Street as one of the most respected character actors of his time, has died, according to TMZ. He was 83.
Beatty reportedly died Sunday in his sleep at his home. Further details were not immediately available, but a source told TMZ that his death was not related to COVID-19. The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Beattyâs manager.
The Kentucky native also portrayed Lily Tomlinâs good olâ boy hustler-lawyer husband in Robert Altmanâs Nashville (1975), was a slippery Miami district attorney in Alan J. Pakulaâs All the Presidentâs Men (1976) and elicited laughs as Lex Luthorâs (Gene Hackman) bumbling sidekick Otis in Superman (1978) and its 1980 sequel.
On television, Ned Beatty was at his best as Det. Stanley âThe Big Manâ Bolander on NBCâs Homicide: Life on the Street and as the chaplain assigned to an American private (Martin Sheen) in his final hours on the somber 1974 NBC telefilm The Execution of Private Slovik.
Beatty had an excellent basso profundo singing voice, and his goal as a teenager was to have a career in the musical theater. One of his rare performances as a leading man came as the great Irish tenor Josef Locke in Hear My Song (1991).
