    Burt Reynolds had it all, good looks, personality, charisma, great screen presence, he was quite unique.

      @Harry Beaverz Surely it can't be that hard to write nice comments about people who have passed away, or is it?

    Aging aint for wimps! Burt was such a good-looking man in his younger days, fit, healthy, and handsome. One thing he never lost was his great sense of humour. An excellent actor who wont ever be forgotten

    For all the idiots who think he's washed up ... Burt came to Massachusetts to a convention last year. He was signing autographs I stood in a line that took 2 hours to reach him. He was gracious and exactly like I thought he'd be.
    He will always be "The Bandit"
    A legend in his own time

      Ariel Winters' wardrobe in this movie was ridiculous.

    This man is a legend. He was my childhood hero bar none. Smokey and the Bandit made a huge and lasting impression on me when I was 7 in 1977. I hope this new film does him some justice and it’s not a thrown together borefest. He deserves better and hopefully he got it. Can’t wait to see it.

  • @bartofilms
    @bartofilms 6 лет назад +22

    Burt is one of the great ones. Right up there with Bronson, Wayne, and Eastwood. Two of my favorite films of his: Sharkey's Machine and Deliverance. Smokey and all the others were great too.

      @AcesHighStudios 6 лет назад +4

      I was at that Wizard World too -- just because Burt was there. When he walked out on stage with his cane, I almost burst into tears. I hate to see my heroes get old. But I sure loved being able to see him, meet him and take a picture with him. I shot video of his entire Q & A.

    • @AcesHighStudios

      It was covered with his hand. Unfortunately, that cosmopolitan spread cost him the Academy Award for "Deliverance."

    • @AcesHighStudios
      @AcesHighStudios 6 лет назад +2

      He hated everything about Boogie Nights, especially the director. After Boogie Nights, the director offered him a major role in his next film, Magnolia. Burt said, "No, thanks."

    • @beebuzz959
      @beebuzz959 6 лет назад

      fox on the run, Hollywood sends out screeners and vote cards, and it's supposed to be anonymous, so who really knows why he didn't win. But if that's the reason, shame on them for it! But it's no longer the 70s, and a lot of new people are involved now, so maybe they have evolved.

    What a fun interview...and Burt was still witty and sharp close to the end of his life, may he rest in peace. Kind of choked me up when he said that Sally Field was the love of his life. Joe DiMaggio's was Marilyn ...and Burt's was Sally. Despite all that happens in a relationship, when it is that 'soul mate' kind of love, it never dies. God bless your soul Burt
