  2. Fun actor, enjoyed a number of his movies.

    I wonder if there are some blinds about his sex life that will get revealed.

    Yep - he is the subject of a few pretty unsavory blinds, though.

  10. Shame he lost that land in Florida. He had built a mausoleum for himself and everything on the property. It's still there if you want to go search for it.

    RIP Stroker Ace.

  16. My favorite Burt Reynolds role was in Citizen Ruth. Underrated movie in general, but he was fantastic. Totally stepped out of his comfort zone.

    2. I'm surprised the news reports haven't mentioned that centerfold. It was a big deal back in the say.. meaning early 70's

  22. RIP old buddy. You were best of the generation.

  23. Not a nice bloke in his younger, wilder years but he did mellow out in his older age. He gets my respect though for publicly saying Charlie Sheen deserves HIV. RIP Burt.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I also enjoyed him on Win, Lose or Draw with Bert Convy. Fun show.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I lived in Jupiter FL in the early 80's. He could be magnanimous and rain pain on whoever depending on how the drugs were working. I did enjoy some of his performances.

  26. One of my favorite Hollywood personalities. RIP Bandit.

    1. This .
      His appearances on talk shows like Carson were legendary, and is unapologetic, straightforward persona so refreshing amongst all the phonies.

      I have an anecdote or two (via my uncle who was friendly with him/ younger by 10 years or so). I’ll have to ask him to tell me one again... definitely an original

  27. From the days when there were movie stars.....

    Funny, I didn't think of him in today's Your Turn. But he's an actor i heard my late grandma and my parents talk about.

    RIP Mr. Reynolds

  31. SpiderRico,I agree. I hope it's true about the book. Burt could be a nasty SOB, and maybe for good reason. And yes,for better or worse,this is a real movie star.

  36. Smokey and the Bandit was Alfred Hitchcock's favorite movie.

  41. he did the self-deprecating tongue-in-cheek thing as well as anyone ever has. and i don't care if he thought it was one of his biggest mistakes-i was a big fan of the cosmo spread. i first crushed on him when he was on gunsmoke. r.i.p. burt reynolds.

  42. Always enjoyed his movies no matter how dopey. He was our generation's Dewayne Johnson.

  43. I live in Jupiter Fl. Know a couple of people that worked for him. They all say he was a wonderful guy. He was admitted to a Palm beach gardens hospital a few weeks ago under an assumed name.

    RIP Sonny Hooper, you will always be my favorite Hollywood stuntman.

    What an Icon.
    I recall trudging to the movie theater thru the snow (or rain.. whatever... we always had to walk) every weekend. We saw quite a few of Burt's films. Smokey and the Bandit. The End. Hooper.
    I also remember him guest hosting Johnny Carson's show. Apparently he was very good at it, because my parents said so.
    Burt and Sally Field were the "It" couple, in the late seventies.
    Rest well, Bandit

  53. I loved his movies. Smokey and the Bandit- corny in age of the Godfather, but I was a kid who loved dinkies. The Trans-Am with the fire chicken on the hood is a classic. Feel the same way about Swatche Watches from the '80's too.
    Burt signed a multi movie deal way back when (80's?) and had the studio fund a dinner theatre in Florida as part of the deal. His theatre helped many artists, and many careers. Greatness isn't just your own performance, it's what you do for others around you!
