Another Very Good Actor passes away.

Note: He was extremely busy in the entertainment industry, and never needed to, or wanted to go Political to enhance his Acting career.

How many of you remember him playing a Holy-Roller Colonel role on MASH?

#3 Beatty could play a believable part on either side of the line. I always liked him as nearly burnt-out, marriage disillusioned but still wary detective Stan Bolander in Homicide: Life on the Street.

#4 Really liked his roll in 1941 where he takes on a Japanese sub with an antiaircraft gun after having to "reverse engineer" the loading and firing process.
