Burt Reynolds is selling off hundreds of personal items from his Hollywood career because he's facing financial ruin.
More than 600 items, including a Golden Globe award he won for the film 'Boogie Nights', will be put up for auction next month.
A red jacket he wore in the hit film 'Smokey and the Bandit' is also up for offer.

That’s the last time I remember him on TV as well.
Miss that show but glad it was allowed to wrap up instead of being just cut.
Burt currently does voices on the show “Archer,” but not on every episode.
That is the exact episode.
If BR was playing a supreme being of the benevolent order, he sure had me fooled.
Worth finding online somewhere and watching with a good sound system hooked up.
Unforgettable episode.
That’s an FSU Grad for you.
Go Gators!
He was at the FSU football game a few weeks ago looking like death warmed over.
No way I could live on $1,500 a month much less Burt Reynolds. He made h9s investment decisions and now he has to live with them
This seems to be a common theme amongst aging stars and starlettes. They burn through their money and then in their 60s try to do comeback performances and late night infomercials selling album remakes.
He paid for the FSU logo design and their new uniforms which are still basically the same...about 20 years ago.
I’ve heard good things about this Mike Tyson’s Mysteries... “sadly”, though, I don’t own a television set.
I did for many years as a state employee. I finally escaped and after a lot of grief make a lot more for which I am VERY THANKFUL.
Some such as William Shatner are able to rejuvenate and even reinvent themselves.
A friend worked Customs and used to clear Burt on a redeye flight from Canada where he was filming. He said in the middle of the night Burt would show up without his little hair rug and nobody recognized him.
Fools and their money.
It seems like Burt has gone through this before. It must be tough going from the highest paid actor in Hollywood to dead broke. Simplify, simplify, simplify, and hit up Hollywood friends for a job.
The Evening Shade tv show he did was to produce that steady money for him but the guy from the 700 club bought the rights and the show for some reason was locked up and not shown in reruns. He at one time owned 25% of the show.
It looks like the clintons friends owned part of the show to. So you know the deal was crooked.
