RIP Ned Beatty
- Thread starter mdlUK.1
- Start date
Helluva start to a career by being the guy raped in Deliverance.
Redneck love leaves emotional scars.
I guess he didn't read the script too far.
He's got a real purty halo now, don't he.
I thought he was dead already. Could not have happened soon enough.
Horrible loss. Just terrible. Dude was a legend.
RIP, Ned.
RIP, Ned.
Ned Beatty had the hardest part
Ned Beatty had the hardest part
According to Dreyfuss, he and Shaw started a friendly relationship before they shot their scenes together... but on set, "he was possessed by some evil troll that would make me his victim. " The late Roy Scheider, who played Brody, posited that Shaw was bothered by Dreyfuss' inexperienced haughtiness and decided to put the young actor in his place. Shaw's habitual drinking didn't help calm his temper, either...
Shaw notoriously taunted Dreyfuss for his weight and goaded him by daring him to perform daunting acts. In one instance, Shaw tried to convince Dreyfuss to climb to the mast of the boat and jump off. In addition, Shaw also mentally tampered with his rival right before the cameras started rolling, telling him to, "mind your mannerisms". Dreyfuss finally reached his boiling point when Shaw asked for help while he was walking down the boat's gangplank, bourbon in hand. In retaliation, Dreyfuss swatted the glass away while the crew held their breaths, and shot his next scene with Shaw pointing a fire hose at his face.
Good fun facts but this thread is about Shawshank Redemption.
It came as a shock to many of his fans. RIP Ned.
Just bought a whole line of insurance products from him, home, auto, whole life...
He told them that they had better get the scene right the first time because he was not going to do it again.
