Blind Items Revealed

June 13, 2014

The reason this former A list mostly television actress looks so good despite her age is that her former A+ list mostly movie actor ex beat her so badly and so often that she found the best plastic surgeon money could buy.

Loni Anderson/Burt Reynolds

  1. I always thought she bearded for him and was paid very well.

  2. Doris Day was with him for a long time too. She didn't seem the type to put up with this. Wonder why he felt he could get away with it with Loni? What a pig.

  3. I didn't know Doris Day dated Burt Reynolds. Wow...interesting.

    As for looking good, despite her age? If she's had lots of Plastic Surgery, she'd look her age, but freaky looking.

  6. How was Loni Anderson A list? She never starred in a movie and her TV show in the late 70s was not a big hit. Nothing very memorable today. She was mainly famous for her relationship with Reynolds.

  7. He dated Dinah Shore, too - that was an odd couple.

  16. My aunt slept with him. Told me he sucked in bed.

  17. Judy Carne said he beat her too. I always thought Burt was deeply closeted and self-loathing. In the 70's he looked like the lost member of the Village People and had campy friends like Dom Deluise and Charles Nelson Reilly but he was super duper macho.

  18. G'mornin Lady H.!!

  19. Yup, when the lesbian weekend in Palm Springs is called The Dinah Shore weekend that should say what their relationship was.

    1. I don't know if it was Lesbian weekend back in the day, but I was there for the weekend during Kraft Nabisco tourney and it certainly was Ladies' night. We had a blast.

      I think Dinah liked the fellas.

  20. Years and years ago, I read a Rona Barrett memoir. In it, she hinted about a celebrity/actor who beat up his wife and all the hints pointed to Burt Reynolds and his wife Judy Carne.

  21. He was with Sally fields for a long time.Never heard of trouble..dunno about this..loni looked like she had work done before she hooked up with him.

    ReplyDelete
  22. She should have hired somebody to take him out behind a bar and beat the shit out of him with a lead pipe. I hate hearing this kind of stuff. He probably knew better than to touch Giget/The Flying Nun. What a ginormous prick! Glad his career went in the dumper years ago.

  23. I remember reading an article in which Burt criticized Loni's cooking skills - saying the only thing she made during their time together was pasta. I was like what's wrong with pasta? It's fucking delicious! LOL

    I've always liked Loni and I think she looks great. I agree that Burt seems like a total rage case - glad she got out

  24. I don't think he was with Doris Day, it was Dinah Shore.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Burt used to date Sally Fields for years. He loved her.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I had forgotten Burt and Sally. I hope he wasn't beating her up as well!

  27. "The Dinah" has nothing to do with Ms. Shore except it takes place during what used to be called the LPGA Colgate Dinah Shore tournament (now the Kraft Nabisco Championship). She definitely liked the men. That girl got around.

  28. He is really a pos.

  29. I dare say I'm something of a "Dinah Shore Expert," if there is such a thing. I've been obsessed with her since I was a kid and even did a cabaret show about her life singing all her hit tunes from the '40s. Its what I do. From the extensive reading I've done, it would seem that Dinah was quite a fan of the menfolk and, as far as I can tell, not interested in the ladies "that way." She was a big athlete, which was an out growth of treatment she received for polio as a small child. She sponsored the golf tournament, which became a big draw for lesbians but not because they were drawn to Dinah's sapphic powers, but because many professional golfers were lesbians and who doesn't want to hang out in Palm Springs in early spring? Good times for everyone. And that's how "The Dinah" weekend started.

  30. It was rumored that Burt would have married Dinah, but she was too old to have kids and he wanted them.

  31. Loni was big back in the day with WKRP in Cincinnati and TV movies. Burt was a huge prick to women. He put Loni is some of his movies but he was past his sell by date.

    I hope she took him for everything she could get before he.declared bankruptcy for.the 5th time.They adopted a son together but I think Burt just left him with Loni and didn't want to pay child support. I wonder what happened to him.

  32. I remember reading a story from just around the time they separated that she had taken her engagement ring to have it appraised for the divorce and it was cubic zirconia! Wife beater and a cheap fuck
