    Burt Reynolds, great sense of humor, cool, and was Quint on Gunsmoke for a couple of years in the mid 60's before a year or two as Dan August, A Quinn Martin Production. My first car, black 1977 Trans Am, got it in November 1976 for my 16th birthday, 7 months before Smokey and The Bandit came out. RIP.

    This was just a few months before Deliverance which made him a star followed later by Smokey and the Bandit which made him a superstar. To me Deliverance was Burt Reynold's finest hour.

      Yep sad. I looked him up and it said he died of natural causes, however to me he looks thinner and not quite healthy here as compared to his last season just 4 years before in 1967. I think he may have had an underlying sickness of some sort here ??

    It was possible to continue with both Arlene Francis and John Charles Daly until 1975. Both were still in excellent health in 1975 to continue working with the show. It wasn't possible to continue Dorothy Killgallen on the panel after her death in 1965 and Bennett Cerf continuing on the panel after his death in 1971 but I wish the show in colour after 1967 could have continued with John Charles Daly hosting until 1975.

She found him too controlling. He married again, Loni Anderson, 1988-94. He also had a five-year affair with Sally Field, who dropped him when she decided it wouldn’t last. A great actor and attractive guy, but couldn’t settle into a long term relationship.

      That was very late 60s and early 70s fashion. Most of us had something like that material at that time.

    Why is this so fast since the 50s version? Did peoples attention span die in a decade?

    Burt was true to form here. Notice the high heeled shoes? Reynolds wore high heels every waking moment of his life. Burt's Achilles heel was his insecurity of not being tall. So, between the toupee and the high heels, he was phony from head to toes, LITERALLY.

    You can see Burt's hair piece. Never liked his personality...always seemed liked he had to prove something.

    Did they turn a classy weekly game show into a daily '70s syndicated show? Ugh!
