For decades, Beatty was a famous face in many blockbusters and television series, from All the President's Men and Superman to Roseanne.
Beatty's first and perhaps biggest imprint on the white canvas came in the debut The Last Journey in 1972. Although he played against the established stars Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight, it was Beatty who did, the most famous scene in retrospect, when he was abused .
Last role as pink teddy bear
After his debut, the roles came one by one and he was nominated for an Oscar for his contribution to Network in 1976. The main roles were few, but in the 1990s he had one of the leading roles in the groundbreaking TV series Mission Murder (Homicide: Life on the street).
After over 150 films and TV series over 40 years, he made his last major role as the voice of the pink bear Lotso in Toy story 3.
