As Bruce shows above Beatrice’s film output was low and sporadic and I have seen just 3 of the films listed above:
Patterns
The Formula
Deceived.
Patterns was released over here in 1956 as Patterns of Power and was on a double bill with an Edward G Robinson mystery thriller – Nightmare.
I did also see Beatrice in 1956’s The Silken Affair a British saucy [for those days] romantic comedy co-starring David Niven but it is not listed above and in fact IMDB gives it just a 57% rating and critics at the time called in “frivilous”.
In tandem with her screen career Beatrice had a massive television output and enjoyed a theatrical career as well. Wikipedia lists 11 of her plays all on Broadway stretching over the period 1939 until 1968 and they include the classics 12th Night/Macbeth/The Crucible/and The Heiress. All-in-all her years active are noted as 1939-1991.
It’s heartening to see The Work Horse recognising with a new page now probably-obscure but talented actress from yesteryear so this new page is “Voted Up!”
I have seen 4 Beatrice Straight movies. None of them are favourites. In UMR order, they are:
Network
The Nun’s Story
Patterns
The Young Lovers
Hey Flora…thanks for checking out our latest Oscar winning star….I have seen 9 of her movies….so our grand total is 13 compared to Dan’s 17. I have only seen 2 of the ones you have seen….her Oscar winning role in Network and The Nun’s Story. Good stuff as always.
I’ve seen all 17 movies listed that Beatrice appeared in.
Hey Dan….thanks for the tally count on Beatrice Straight. Good job on seeing 100% of her movies…and I am not thinking there are too many more of her movies…as I think I found box office information on most of her movies. Good stuff.
