Burt was cool. I luved close to his home in Jupiter Florida. I bought horse feed etc from his feed store. Once my parents visiting from North. My dad bumpe into him and didnt realuze it was Burt. Funny but when Burt found out both were cops. He bought my oarents dinner at his resturant in Ft Laudrrdale. He sent Flowers when dad passed. He got me off duty gigs when filming BL Sryker. He also showed up to his acting school. He was pain to some but wuth fan pretty damn cool
My Dad had a similar experience. He was working Vice in PBSO and dopers in the late 70's were doing plane drops at the Jupiter ranch and then trespassing to get the goods. So my Dad and his partner would hang with Burt in the tree house. I'm not sure if they caught anyone, but Burt liked the company of cops and it was more of a good time than a stakeout. My Dad got off duty gigs as well but it was for Smokey and the Bandit II. My father in law was from Riviera Beach and knew the Reynolds' family well also. He's a Darville so I'm technically related to the Bandit by marriage, lol.
I remember reading that Burt Reynolds didn’t like being nominated for an Academy for his role as a pornographer in the movie Boogie Nights. I can see where he’s coming from but if he didn’t like the role he shouldn’t have accepted it.
He also had issues with Jackie Gleason in "Smokey and The Bandit" during the restaurant scene when Gleason walked in and they had that back and forth they were at odds, trying to out do each other, i guess Gleason didn't want to be in the same room with him after that. If you watch the movie, that is the only interaction they have with each other. Also I believe Sally Field was always his 1 true love. They really bounced off of each other extremely well on and off screen. I remember after his death reading comments from her expressing that. He was her 1 true love and vice versa.
Liked him in Hitchcock presents. But Deliverance is the best film he's done. I never used to be fond of him when I was younger but for me eventually grew on my and now like him. It's hard to not compare him to Marlon Brando. Both are cinematic masters.
🎭At the height of his fame as a kid during the "Bandit movies" I thought he was cool. But my favorite Burt film is one of his least successful, Sharky's Machine.
@@DavidBrown-ke8cb I disagree! Sharkeys Machine was a Clunker too. His best was Hooper, The Man who loved Cat Dancing, Shamus, Boogie Nights, the Longest Yard ( original)The comedies, Fuzz, The End, Starting Over. The film that he should've not only got an academy award nomination for ( but didn't because he posed as a centerfold) was his greatest performance, Deliverance.
Unfortunately, one of the things Reynolds was known for was his unpredictable temper. While co-starring on the Larry Sanders Show Burt went into a rage about something. The cast and crew thought he was adlibbing and thought it was funny, which made him even angrier. There is also that curious case in Arizona where he is suspected of taking part in a man's brutal death.
The most interesting aspect of this to me is the counterpoint to Reynolds reputation in Hollywood by the late '70s and early '80s, when he became one of those stars who seemed to want to work only with personal friends, in Burt's case, Hal Needham, Dom DeLuise, et al., as his film career began to slow down with films such as the "Bandit" movies, "The End," "Hooper," the "Cannonball Run" movies, "Stroker Ace," etc. His shift to TV with "Win, Lose, or Draw" and "Evening Shade" also were endeavors in which he surrouded himself with friends, creating the impression that he was fun-loving, sociable and all that. Both could be true, of course, as he could have had these feuds AND his tight-knit friendship circle.
Y'know, I NEVER noticed any resemblance between a young Brando and a young Reynold till I viewed this. Even now I think that resemblance is slight at-best...
I was a bigger fan of Burt Reynolds than Clint Eastwood because Burt made more PG movies . It's sad because his career seemed to die after they made that movie together .
I have met Burt Reynolds, Mel Brooks, Anne Bancroft, Dom DeLuise, Jay Leno, Oprah (we hugged and cried); own many reynolds movies on video; he was my fav actor then.
I became a fan of burt Reynolds when I saw the man who loved cat dancing Before then I did enjoy his movies but he seemed like a good Ole boy. When I saw the man who loved cat dancing I understood what charisma he had
Regardless what maybe said about Burt Reynolds he was a very good actor n box office draw him Bruce Lee were number 1 at the box office, some of their competitors were not...
In reading Burt's book, he writes about an "issue" with President Donald Trump, then towards the end of the book he relents and says he doesn't have ill will towards President Trump. That along with the fantastic "Turd Ferguson" impression that Norm MacDonald did on SNL & and rumors of a death on set of a movie in Arizona has me really wondering what the deal was with Mr. Burt Reynolds. (Was B.R. in the employ of a gov agency?)
Marlon Brando hated Burt Reynolds throughout his life. In 1979 he boasted to PLAYBOY that he had "vetoed Burt Reynolds for the role of Sonny Corleone in THE GODFATHER because you have to have a rapport with the people you work with". He also accused Burt, part Native American, of exploiting Indian children for his film THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING. While filming APOCALYPSE NOW Brando told the crew during a break, "Burt Reynolds is the worst type of actor. He worships at the shrine his own egotism".
I liked Burt Reynolds & I wished him & sally could of made a great relationship together but it didn't happen i love Sally Feild. I'm sure alot of Burts problem was he was to arrogant & very flirty & im sure alot of other men were jealous of him cuz he was a good looking man & a great actor.
IT WOULD BE SO NICE IF 'FACTS VERSE' DID THEIR RESEARCH ... as ... for the record, Burt Reynolds only worked 1/2 day on 'SILENT MOVIE.' I know, because I helped release the film when it came out at 20th Century-Fox. Burt did the ONE SCENE as a lark and for free. Get it right, FACTS VERSE. Or please, don't bother us with your slip-shod idea of 'Facts.' D.A.🤯😵💫

When I was a kid I loved watching Burt Reynolds movies with my dad. Especially all the ones with Dom Deluise.

Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info about Burt. Made us miss him more 😢
That's good to hear. I loved the guy growing up.
He likely took a shine to your parents because his father was chief of police of Riviera Beach, Florida.
My Dad had a similar experience. He was working Vice in PBSO and dopers in the late 70's were doing plane drops at the Jupiter ranch and then trespassing to get the goods. So my Dad and his partner would hang with Burt in the tree house. I'm not sure if they caught anyone, but Burt liked the company of cops and it was more of a good time than a stakeout.

Burt Reynolds as Sonny Corleone? You know that might've worked?
I remember when he was the top actor in hollywood. He was all over the place with interviews
You missed a big one: he and Darren McGavin couldn't stand each other when whey were together on Riverboat.
I was so in love with this man when I was 16. My girlfriend and I saw very Burt Reynolds’s movie and sighed every time we spoke of him.
Burt Reynolds was more of a man than weirdo Brando ... Brando acted , Reynolds was real
Hahahahaha.....trippin.
🙄🤦🏽♀️

Money talks, money walks
The guy was broke and he needed the money!
He took a lot of roles toward the end of his career that he would not have when he was at the top.
Strangely enough that was one of his best performances.
He also had issues with Jackie Gleason in "Smokey and The Bandit" during the restaurant scene when Gleason walked in and they had that back and forth they were at odds, trying to out do each other, i guess Gleason didn't want to be in the same room with him after that.

63RD...Burts downfall was getting Involved with Lonnie Anderson
Loni Anderson cleaned him out financially. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
🎭At the height of his fame as a kid during the "Bandit movies" I thought he was cool. But my favorite Burt film is one of his least successful, Sharky's Machine.
We feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Mine is Deliverance!
Sharky's Machine was one of Burt's best films. It was a shame that he made too many clunkers like Stroke Ace and The Cannonball Run.
@@DavidBrown-ke8cb I disagree! Sharkeys Machine was a Clunker too. His best was Hooper, The Man who loved Cat Dancing, Shamus, Boogie Nights, the Longest Yard ( original)The comedies, Fuzz, The End, Starting Over.

Such a great legendary actor crazy how he got old over night sure is missed!!!
Burt did alot of his own stunts causing pain
Nothing like trying to get TH-cam views by crapping on an Iconic Hollywood Actor who passed away
The fame clearly got to his head, and the arrogance took off like a rocket. But he was a cool dude.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
His first wife was Judy Carne from Laugh In.
Oh you are so missed, Burt Reynolds. Thank you for this. I think all actors and actresses have behind the scenes drama. My opinion. 😊
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Burt. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse , loved him in Deliverance and of course Smokie and the Bandit. Hard to pick!! 😊

Gore Vidal was a nasty old queen . . . You could make a two-hour episode on all the people that didn't like him.
What about his feud with Turd Ferguson?
Yeah, that's right. Turd Ferguson. It's a funny name.
Norm Macdonald impersonated him, SNL.
@@iwaisman That's the joke dumbass.
@@crusader7991 Nah that's correct, he had a buddy Scrappy Doo, they drove around and solved mysteries.
Iam not surprised celebrities have fueds with each other lolz

@@FactsVerse so silly, The man who loved cat dancing great movie in my eyes
Shamus (1973) was my favorite Burt Reynolds movie
One of our favorite movies of Burt too! Thanks for sharing and have a great day ❤
Yes Boogie nights is an Amazing film 🎥
Surprised by his feud with Mel Brooks. Would never see Mel Brooks as having problems getting along with anyone.
Burt will always be a true Hollywood Legend
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Burt. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse For me it was Lewis Medlock, from deliverance, and not just him , the whole cast delivered a performance of a life time.
Ruby Wax gave him a serve and vice versa when she interviewed good old Burt.
Burt ruled the 70s.
He was the top draw of the 70's. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Regardless what maybe said about Burt Reynolds he was a very good actor n box office draw him Bruce Lee were number 1 at the box office, some of their competitors were not...
What about Joan Rivers? In an interview on Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart, Burt Reynolds called Rivers a "disgusting human being"
Great video sharing 👍😍 superb

He was in some amazing films.

Brando ask Rita "questions" about burt because Brando was gay....
All of them.
You forgot Tom Kennedy - who Reynolds degraded and threatened (supposedly as a "joke") on the game show "It's Your Bet" ...
Burt Reynolds one of the greatest actors of all time

Burt,,was the man!!!!✌

Think it's more that they were friends for decades.
You forgot Raquel Welch..

summers
Marc Summers and Burt was very cringe
Burt is more man than Brando if you know them you might know what I am talking about
Was never a big fan of either one. Brando movies no Burt movies nah. Deliverance is the only reynold movie i liked.
Mel Brooks was right.
SHORT MANS COMPLEX ! 10 X OVER !
Burt Reynolds was the best thing in Silent Movie!
Marlon Brando hated Burt Reynolds throughout his life. In 1979 he boasted to PLAYBOY that he had "vetoed Burt Reynolds for the role of Sonny Corleone in THE GODFATHER because you have to have a rapport with the people you work with".

That's rich coming from Brando.
Almost as many wigs as Joy Reid, nah that's a lie, Racist Reid has thousands more.
Someone's a whining snowflake
I liked Reynolds but Brando was right; Burt just ripped-off Brando his whole career.
First
Congratulations, we would love also see you be first on our next video! Are you up to our challenge?
I liked Burt Reynolds & I wished him & sally could of made a great relationship together but it didn't happen i love Sally Feild. I'm sure alot of Burts problem was he was to arrogant & very flirty & im sure alot of other men were jealous of him cuz he was a good looking man & a great actor.
In his Autobiography, he also stated that he clashed quite badly with Thomas Jane on set and threatened to kick his ass.

Burt was a better actor than Brando.
