Ned Beatty went from Kentucky boy to Hollywood icon
Ned Beatty appeared in countless movies and TV shows over the years. So it may surprise fans to learn that the actor was worth just $5 million when he died, per Celebrity Net Worth. Beatty had been a professional actor since age 19, according to the outlet. And a number of fan tributes to the actor noted that he gave his all to any roles he held.
Long before making it big in Hollywood, Beatty was born in Louisville, Kentucky, per IMDb. The outlet notes that the actor "grew up fishing and working on farms," so his net worth would surely have impressed him in his pre-fame days.
