By his early twenties, Beatty was playing Broadway and it was his work in the play The Great White Hope that attracted the interest of film director "John Boorman", who cast him as one of the four main stars in his gripping backwoods thriller "Deliverance" (1972). Forever immortalized in the notorious "squeal like a pig" rape scene, Beatty subsequently went on to become one of the screen's more prolific supporting actors, frequently appearing in up to four films per year. His more notable film work includes "Nashville" (1975), "All the President's Men" (1976), "Network" (for which he earned an Oscar nomination), "The Big Easy" (1987), "Hear My Song" (1991), "A Prelude to a Kiss" (1992), "Radioland Murders"...
