Re: Dueling Banjos

Legend has it that Billy Redden liked Ronnie Cox, the actor who played guitar, and he couldn't turn away from him, as the script demanded, after the banjo/guitar duel. He didn't, however, like Ned Beatty (I don't know why), so the director had Beatty come into the scene on cue. Redden was able to turn away, with Beatty present, and ignore Cox's outstretched hand.
