The 1980s

Into the 1980s, and Beatty began the decade directing, starring, producing, and co-writing the 1981 epic historical drama, Reds. Playing the role of John Reed, alongside a cast which included Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, the film detailed the life of Reed, the journalist and writer who chronicled the October Revolution in Russia.

However, this did nothing to impact Beatty’s career, and moving beyond this decade he continued to front movies regardless.
