Being There (1979)
Final film of Sellers' great period. Being There is Hal Ashby's 1979 American satire adapting Jerzy Kosinski's 1971 novella.
Actor: Jack Warden
Jack Warden was nominated twice, for Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait, and worked continuously for four decades in supporting parts.
12 Angry Men gives him the juror who wants to get to a ball game, which is a small role that carries the film’s argument about how little most people care.
All the President’s Men, Being There and Used Cars fill out the range. He was a professional boxer and a paratrooper before acting, breaking his leg on a night jump.
