Veteran character actor Ned Beatty has died, aged 83.
The Deliverance star passed away from natural causes on Sunday, surrounded by family, according to his manager, Deborah Miller.
"Ned was an iconic, legendary talent, as well as a dear friend," Miller told Deadline. "He will be missed by us all."
Born in 1937 in Kentucky, Beatty began his career in the theater in his 20s. He scored his film debut in director John Boorman's 1972 survival classic Deliverance, opposite Jon Voight and Burt Reynolds.
He picked up his one and only Oscar nomination four years later for his role as Arthur Jensen in Network.
Beatty also landed Emmy nominations for Friendly Fire and Last Train Home, and a Golden Globe nod for Hear My Song.
His credits also include Toy Story 3, All The President's Men, The Waltons, M*A*S*H, The Rockford Files, Nashville, Rango, The Big Easy, and Roseanne, while he was awarded a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play for his turn in an adaptation of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
