Poor Burt. At one point, this guy was one of the coolest around, but then fame and ego took their toll. I'd put him on the list of all-time Hollywood ego don't-read-my-own-scripts disasters alongside Eddie Murphy and Steven Seagal.

You could see the pain when he didn't win that Oscar for Boogie Nights.

Smokey & the Bandit was great though.

The first one was good. The second was bad.. The third well I'm not going to say anything at all.

He SHOULD'VE won the Oscar for that one. He was awesome in that pic.

Didn't he file for bankruptcy?. I thought he lost everything..BTW..his life went in the crapper when he started messing around with Loni Anderson..and it wasn't a career enhancer for her, either..

Yeah, but Smokey & the Bandit III was a TERRIBLE, TERRRIBLE, TERRIBLE movie!!! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

But, who cares about Burt. Let's talk about LONI (and see some pics!) :)

Sad, sad day if this happens to Loni. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH

Seagal is the product of agent Michael Ovitz's bet that he could create a celebrity movie star from someone who wasn't an actor.

Still, Seagall is an interesting character who as a private individual has indeed gotten into some of the scenarios seen in his movies.
