The first thing I remember seeing him in was White Lightning (1973). I didn't realize it then, but my sister had some sort of crush on Burt Reynolds. She had already seen the movie a number of times and I went with her and my brother to see it yet again at the drive-in. Ned Beatty played the corrupt sheriff.
Some years later, when I was in high school, it was summer and it was very warm. A friend asked me if I was hot.
I said, "Baby, I'm always hot," quoting or at least paraphrasing one of Ned Beatty's lines from Silver Streak.
My friend reacted much like the woman Ned Beatty's character was hitting on in the movie.
