Wow. He looked like a skeleton for the last few years.

RIP Gator MacClusky. RIP Bandit.

didn’t he date like every actress from that era?

my brother and I used to always say “Burt had her” whenever some 70’s flick with a chick came on.

I saw him in an episode of the Hawaii 5-0 reboot a few years ago. He looked shockingly frail.

...

Sadly, I think he needed the money.

He had a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale when I lived there in Port Everglades, called Burt and Jacks.

According to this article, it had to close in 2002, because the enhanced security in Port Everglades in the wake of 9/11 made it too difficult to get to.

White Lighting? I don’t remember that one, but the name looks familiar.

I’m old enough to remember how iconic a movie star Burt Reynolds was in the 70s, but he just never appealed to me in any way. (My mother didn’t care for his looks either and said he thought that he was God’s gift to women.)

I’m sorry for his fans, however.

Here's another fine mess we're into, honey;
They won't let me loose, not for love nor money.
I'm a fighter, but they've got me on the floor;
Don't believe I'm gonna take it anymore.

Here's another fine mess I've stumbled into,
As sorry a state as I've ever been to,
Though it's difficult for some to understand,
I'm gonna knuckle down and take it like a man.

Wave goodbye.
Don't try to talk; what's there to say?
The words are unimportant
It's the feelings we'll remember anyway.
Wave goodbye.
Don't make a scene; just let it go.
Don't smother love and glory,
Let's put an ending to our story.

We're heading for the final round-up;
So this is where the old trail wound up.

Here's another fine mess, and not my choosing
We loved for awhile, I can't call that losing;
If I knew our love was gonna end this way,
I'd live it over and I wouldn't change a day.

Here's another fine mess .....

Sally certainly straddled the line on the “Crazy-Hot” Matrix.

Yes, he had apparently been selling off his private memorabilia to pay bills. Like the hat from Smoky and the Bandit and the boots from Striptease.

So many, many quotable lines from Smokey & the Bandit.

Gotta put some groceries down my neck.
Gotta stop at the choke n puke.
Got a evil kenevil on your tail.
I need a car to run block. (money changes hands) A speedy car. (more money). Speedier than that.
There’s no way, no way, that you coulda come from my lawins. When I get home first thing I’m gonna do is punch your momma in da mouth!
What we’re dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law.

I've known women like that who, once menopause hit, fell completely over onto the crazy side.
