No way I would have done that either.
Clint Eastwood loved that guy...he was in one of my favorite movies Thunderbolt & Lightfoot. [Reply]

Man, that scene had to be pretty appalling to early 70s audiences. Even when Tarantino riffed on it in Pulp Fiction it was shocking. [Reply]

Based on my age, Ned Beatty will always be Rudy's father to me. I know that he was in a lot more prominent roles in his career, but that's who Ned Beatty is to me. [Reply]

Baldness and dadbod in your mid-30s will do that.
Plus, since his 'heyday' there was been a sea change in people maintaining 'youthful' looks for longer. Back in the 70s, people in their 30s started dressing and carrying themselves 'like grownups' making them look older.
Imagine if Jenifer Aniston spent the last 25 years with Carole Burnett's hairdo. [Reply]

Yeah, agreed. I see pictures of my grandparents at my age, and I sure hope that I look younger than them. I don't know if that's my generational bias or differences in society, but the differences exist.
Of course, when I was a kid anyone between the ages of 25 and 50 looked generally alike, too, just because I lumped them into the bin of "adult and not yet senior". [Reply]

The entire movie was quite a shocker, it's still pretty unnerving.
I think I've liked every movie he was in. RIP [Reply]

This piece of trivia hits it home. Brad Pitt was older in World War Z than Wilfred Brimley was in Cocoon. [Reply]
