Dinah Shore Interviews Burt Reynolds--1991 TV

Dinah Shore interviews her close friend Burt Reynolds in this special 1991 program.

[@carolynkingsley4421]

Dinah loved him till the end. It's nice to know they remained friends.

[@smellycat2136]

According to Elaine Blake Hall (former personal assistant) "The next time I saw Dinah was when Burt made an appearance on her talk show in 1990. When they first reunited, she told him, "When I pulled into my parking space on the lot and saw our names side by side again, it really got me." "It did to me too," Burt said. During the show they reminisced about some of the great times together and then he told her, "If I ever had one ounce of class ,I got it from you." "No honey," she said quietly, "you've always had it." After the show, I sat in the "green room" (the private room where celebrities relax while waiting to go on a show), and they talked, laughed and reaffirmed how much they cared for each other. They were sitting side by side on small sofa and watching them squeeze each other's hand as they said the words, it was pretty obvious to me that they had never stopped loving one another. As he started to leave her, they hugged each other and held on for a long time as if each one hated to let go first. There was no impassioned kiss, but a very short, yet sweet one as they parted.

[@lewhite99]

Burt was always so right that Dinah Shore was the most classiest lady on earth. Beautiful inside and out. Easy to still see the love and respect they had for each other.

​@loni cherryne, definitely. I love them both.

[@flonsta]

This is such a sweet interview. The two of them weren’t even together at this point, they were long apart (Burt was married to Loni Anderson), but they’re holding hands throughout only as two people who truly love each other would do. I remember a few years later, Burt was on Phil Donahue’s show, and they showed a clip of Dinah (who had since passed) and he struggled for the remainder of that interview to be engaged and upbeat. He obviously worshipped this woman, who was the epitome of class and taught him a great deal about staying humble. RIP to these two greats.

[@TedCohen1]

It's obvious they still loved each other - and clearly he broke her heart, judging from the extent of her sentimentality.

[@headscrewedonright9030]

These two were soulmates..this is the stuff we all dream of having..

[@TheMallyjoe]

Someone on here said they broke up he wanted children and she was to old to have them. It seemed she was the love of his life but he said Sally Field was.

This was really quite an extraordinary interview & exchange. Kudos to that woman for being so open & unguarded as to even do this. But to him as well. She obviously still felt totally comfortable w him & kudos to him for his always being a gentleman about her - crediting her for the best in him.

Wow! These two are electric together. You can see how much they love each other.

[@itsprivate4360]

Huge fan of both these legends... those were the days.

[@coldwinter5710]

Early on many in the press really went after Burt, saying he was using Dinah to get ahead in the business. Such was proven NOT to be the case. He genuinely fell head over heals in love with her, as did she. He said her age never once mattered to him. This interview certainly proves the enduring love & respect they sincerely had for one another.

[@Scripts360]

Not only did they still love each other, they were still IN LOVE with each other.

[@loriharris1215]

They had such a wonderful time together as a couple, a shame they couldn’t stay together ♥️

[@janetclaireSays]

I just watched this entire interview 32 years later purely to witness the deep love and respect these two had for each other 20 years following their split. Whatever Burt said about any other woman in his life, it is obvious that Dinah and Burt were soulmates.

[@margomason4889]

Burt once remarked he should have married Dinah.

[@NelsonStJames]

It's really sweet how they hold hands early on in the interview with him on the couch and her in the chair. That's definitely real.

[@OttoByOgraffey]

And yet he said that Sally Field was his true love.

[@peterbalac1915]

​@@OttoByOgraffey Yes he did, I expected him to say Dinah but strangely wasen't suprised it was Sally Field. Both gorgeous women but its Always been Sally for me.

Nice to see two people so in synch with each other- R.I.P. Burt and Dinah.

[@MrJones-ge5sl]

What a wonderful interview. Miss them both.

[@roytheboy1963]

They were far more than close friends, they were the love of each others lives even though there was nearly 20 years age difference, hard to believe Dinah Shore was 74 years old here as she looks stunning, sad that she died a few years later!

[@janetclaireSays]

She was 20 years older than Burt and never looked it from the time they met through to this interview. And it is so inspiring to see her here at age 74, still a sexy woman and in a very natural way, not the plastic Hollywood way.

[@smokedoliver1]

It’s always a privilege to watch two people in love, especially these two.

[@gaylemc2692]

Dinah Shore was a Class Act. It's not hard to see why he loved her. And it is obvious why she loved him as well. Rip you two lovebirds.

[@carolynfigueroa1489]

So good together. Complimented each other so well. Kind, sweet, endearing.

[@stephengiese7549]

They adored each other! The memories poured out. Never seen anything like this. I love this lady. Classy, polite, funny and respectfull. Burt was too. I am used to see him on Carson and trying to be almost endlessly funny. Here he so much better with memories galore and funny when necessary. Thanks utube.

[@loriryan2045]

I really enjoyed watching Burt and Dinah together. I just finished reading Burt Reynolds Autobiography with Audiobook. Burt reads the book and during certain segments you can her great emotion in his voice especially when he talked about Dinah. It was wonderful to listen to him tell the stories of his life. When I got done with the book, I found this video and some videos of Burt on The Tonight Show with Johnny and as Guest Host.

[@foxibot]

I noticed she said she stayed at that 6 dollar motel while he was filming, and was catering to him by cooking and bringing the food and I think he loved that about her. That she was such a devoted supportive partner.

[@Katzenhase]

Great to see both of them for such a long interview.

[@bettiblanchard873]

What a great show. Thank you. Two of my favorites.

[@AidaJof]

Dinah, what a classy lady! I was a fan of hers more so than of Burt's ... may she rest in peace. Burt was right, whatever class he had (and he had plenty), he owed it to Dinah, but he was also loyal ... to a fault. May he rest in peace.

[@andrewjharrison1]

Dinah Shore was born in 1917. When this aired in 1991, she would have been around 73 maybe. Wow she looks amazing nowhere near that age. What a beautiful classy lady.

[@africanbantushaman9351]

She was born in 1916, so she was 74 at the time.

[@gordonowens7794]

I remember hearing about Dinah Shore but as a kid I was more into watching Dark Shadows and Wild Wild West, looking at these videos of hers now is a real treat, she is such a nice and caring person with a gentle soothing voice. Thank you for these videos.

[@raymondmiller2182]

Two treasures who are truly missed 😢

[@catwhisperer9489]

From the time he met Sally, for many years, he would say the love of his life was Sally, and I would always shake my head and say "DINAH"! Then, many, many years went by, and the last time I saw him interviewed, and they asked him, as they always did, who the love of his life was, he said "Dinah"! I remember it like it was yesterday, because I thought to myself "FINALLY, you figured it out"!

[@bllanderson2798]

Thanks for posting. This appears to be an authentic interview between old lovers who apparently still had much affection for each other. So many celebrity interviews are superficial and meant to promote an album, movie, or some other event or revive a fading career.

[@elizabethlightman4417]

Once in a lifetime; if you are very lucky; you can have an extremely intimate love like this. Although extremely rare.

[@cherieallen9508]

I'm also thinking Dinah let Burt go so he could have a child..and family life..and with her age and health issues..she showed true Love by releasing him. That's just my thoughts..but these two really did care for one another. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jessiem276]

She had no choice, since he got involved with Sally ... even Farah Fawcett got mad about it and said something on Dinah's show. I remember it!

[@Melinda8162]

[@dondoyle8474]

Burt always said Sally Field was his lost love but after this show I beg to differ.

I know, but he's also said Dinah was. He just knew he made a bad a choice with that Loni.

[@foxibot]

Aww she still had that “love light” in her eyes, she looked upon him with adoration and a light in her eyes as if she adored him. I wish they had been closer in age so it would have lasted, but maybe her being older was what made her perfect for him, for the time they were together, in that I think older women won’t do the irritating things sometimes that MAYBE younger ones may. She had such a calm and caring demeanor and soft voice. I can’t even imagine her raising her voice. I know that SOME guys have said that if you are older than they are, they like it because you don’t play the games the younger women play, and as far as jealousy, fights and stuff. I think it’s because women can develop confidence especially if they are attractive, and look good, are in good shape, and many women can actually age well. They don’t get all worked up like younger women. So the guy isn’t fighting and the woman isn’t always trying to control him. I think she just enjoyed being with him and didn’t bug him and he probably loved that, just her saying how she was so supportive of his career. And she had a calming influence on him I think. Which probably helped him. Where other women didn’t have that kind of gentleness and Calming nature or influence on him. I think she also knew how to let him be the center of attention but when he needed advice he could come to her and she would give him good advice without offending him or hurting his feelings. I think he was a very sensitive man and that his feelings were very close to the surface, and she knew it and was tender with him. You can tell by the way she compliments him genuinely and says such nice things from a place of love in the interview, that this is why he still is close to her, and respected her. And was sitting there and holding her hand. It was kind of sad watching it, because you could tell she loved him and I do think he cared for her and if she had been younger it would have worked. I don’t know how much older she was, but I guess there was some real age difference, and if she had been just say maybe 4 or 5 years older, than I think it would have worked.

[@caroljohnson3373]

She was 20 years older than Burt

[@vice4134]

Age is just a number. If Dinah was younger, it would have taken the mystery, wisdom & sexiness out of her. She was perfect the way she was. And Burt got that stupid idea in his head that he must have his offspring which is silly afterwards, probably from his old fashion father. He saw how silly it was after he went thru all that trouble with his ex-wife. If Dinah was about 40 years older than me, I still would take her if I had the opportunity. I think she's beautiful, inside & out.

It’s a little weird knowing he has a wife at home, especially the story about his parents and having to pretend that they weren’t “doing it”. I guess show biz people are different because my husband would be in the doghouse.

Loni would not care that Dinah called Burt “honey.” By 1991, when this interview was done, Burt and Loni had already fallen out of love with each other, and were well along on the road to divorce.

[@jameslonano5659]

I was fortunate to have known Burt over the years living in Jupiter, FL. Last time seeing him in the summer of 2017. One big take away, and something Burt himself as mentioned many times, is that the camera can see through anything. It reveals who and what you are especially for an actor. And in Burt, the camera saw his honesty in everything he did, said, believed in and this is why he connected so well with audiences and was loved by everybody Even though Brando famously disliked Burt, he could see this came naturally to Burt. Brando, as great as he was, had to go to great lengths and methods to do what came so naturally to Burt. RIP Bandit
