RIP, Mr. Reynolds. You were a big part of my life. From your movies, to the ranch in Jupiter Farms to Navajo Joe. Thank you, Sir.

Rest in peace, Burt.

I didn’t see all his movies, but I liked Deliverance, Rough Cut, Paternity, Best Friends, Sharky’s Machine and Starting Over.

Always remember a scene in one of the original Dukes of Hazzard episodes (one of the ones shot in and around the Covington, GA area in 1978-79) in which Cooter (IIRC) says to one of the Dukes while riding in the General Lee “I wonder what Burt Reynolds would do in a situation like this?” and either Bo or Luke then said “Well, he’d be with someone prettier than you”.

Was that the movie he swims out to the ocean trying to kill himself, then turns around promising God all these things, then gets back to land and stops promising?

Jackie Gleason was the real star of Smokey and the Bandit. He stole almost every scene.
