What Happened to BURT REYNOLDS

[@phillipteagarden7259]

Burt Reynolds and I were students at FSU in the mid 1950's . He was a darn good football player and was well respected.

[@georgelalama8154]

Phillip Teagarden wow! That's fantastic! I wonder what he was like as a friend? He must have been as good of a friend as he was humerus.

[@Aivar09]

In the movie with Lisa Minelli, Bart had a photo of him in a football uniform in his character’s apartment.

[@coldwinter5710]

Burt was known by all of those closest to him as an incredibly great, very loyal & very generous friend. He also had old football pictures of him in many of his films & TV shows if it made sense with the character.

[@657111221]

So was I and scored five goals for the Ilford Recorder Eleven in 25 minutes which got us into the Premier League. But I don't talk about it any more. Done much betters in other professions since.

Every son needs to hear a dad say he's proud of him. For all Burts success he seemed a lonely man. He deserved better.

[@coldwinter5710]

Absolutely agree with you, & it's quite sad. He most certainly deserved a lot better for all the joy & laughter he brought to so many others.

[@dutchman063]

I never felt the need to hear my dad say he was proud of me, some of you need some self esteem without looking to daddy for it

[@tonywiley4357]

We all do

[@jimmybaker2845]

A great talent. He always seemed so natural on camera. Never acting.

[@jamescalifornia2964]

That's why he was so good. I liked his dramatic roles best - but he sure could be funny ! 🎭👍

[@moustachio334]

Cool fact about Smokey and the Bandit was that the actors didn’t adhere to the written script and most of it was impromptu. That makes the characters so enjoyable and shaving Jackie Gleason in the movie was brilliant.

[@Ron71997]

I made a comment a year ago on this tribute- just had to say again,,,,how much I looked up to him...it makes me smile when I see him being funny on the Carson show. We miss you Burt.

I got, why can't you be more like your older brother? The one who dropped out of college. I graduated college, at 22. Moved out at 26. My older brother stayed until age 37. I had a career, a wife, and a son. Still wasn't enough.

[@coldwinter5710]

@@paulleckner8235 Just like Burt...no matter how successful, it wasn't enough. Just because it wasn't his father's or your father's ideal of what success should look like, for whatever reasons, they make you feel less than. It's such a shame. Don't let it rule your life and do better with your own children. Stop the cycle.

[@drumsport]

The last shot of Burt breaks my heart. Gone is the mischievous twinkle in his eyes, replaced by the sadness of a personal life which may not have met his expectations. No worries Burt. Few of us live the life we so wanted. RIP - You made our lives a little bit better by your persona and enthusiasm.

[@WildDigger]

Burt Reynolds was one of the best unappreciated actors that ever lived.

You are absolutely right! No one ever mentions his role in "Starting Over" which is one of my favorite movies. I watch it frequently.

[@jessiejames7492]

he never took himself seriously in movies like james garner. always so natural and self depreciating thats why we love him

[@lloydbishun43]

This crap doesn't even mention is 2 cop series... Dan August, and the other one? Was in his prime at that time! But yes, he was famous in a Charlie Sheen esque kind of way!!

Yes definitely, Best Favorite and never forgotten

[@coldwinter5710]

@@lloydbishun43 His 1st TV show that he starred in was Hawk, & it was really good! The only TV show to ever be filmed almost entirely at night. His final TV show he starred in was Evening Shade in which he won a Golden Globe & an Emmy for his performance. It was a fantastic show. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe for his TV role in Dan August.

In a way he really was the Bandit playing himself. Burt loved to show off. It was natural for him.

I'm with you! Classics

[@garryjohnston7777]

Who cares what the critics say? Burt never claimed to be the best actor in the world but he did star in a few classics in my humble opinion, for me Deliverance was his finest performance.

I was never a fan of Burt Reynolds, but after hearing about his life's ups and downs, his sentiments in his own words, I have a renewed appreciation for this talented and honorable man.

[@moustachio334]

My dad really looked up to Burt Reynolds and I looked up to Burt Reynolds too. I love the man. He speaks so humbly and sounds so content and grateful. I felt bad about him dropping so much weight and none of his friends or father checking in on him after his jaw was broken. Thank you for the video. It was endearing.

He always gave us a good laugh right when we needed it most. When he died last year, I had been going through a very difficult time at my job for three years. One thing I could always count on prior to then was a Burt Reynolds movie to perk me up. Sadly, like his passing, even those didn't work. Of all the celebrities who've passed in my lifetime, his passing hurts the most. Then, a miracle right before Christmas happened. I got transferred to a better job, my family gave me several videos of my favorite Burt Reynolds movies, and all of a sudden, I learned how to laugh again. RIP, Mr. Bandit.

[@finn-fredriklange6610]

Deliverance and the cast’s performance is one of the greatest classics ever!❤️. Thanks Burt!

I always loved Burt Reynolds. As a young woman I totally appreciated his centerfold in Cosmopolitan Magazine. He was beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.

[@josephkelley8641]

my old pal Gary McLarty (maybe pal's too strong a word - associate is probably more fitting)? Designed, did all of the stunts for Burt's movies. Burt had him anywhere and everywhere Burt went. McLarty would not only designed spectacular, bloody, dangerous stunts - but he'd then PERFORM them. Greatest "stuntman" of them all - not even a discussion about it. There were TWO directors on the set - the actual director (usually the great Hal Needham) - plus Gary advising Hal on how to rig a really-cool stunt at the end of a particular (Blues Brothers) picture. Animal House (Gary's the dude on the motorcycle going up the stairs - does that funny thing with his mouth). Gary came out of an Orphanage. Duke Wayne rescued Gary when Duke SHOT A MOVIE at Gary's orphanage. Super funny guy in every respect - .
