The Bandit has gone 10-7. Thanks for some laughs along the way.
In telling of posing for a Cosmo centerfold, Burt Reynolds said, "It was really stupid."Stupid is as stupid does, some say.
I don't remember him in any great movies even though his career spanned much of the time when America was great.
I liked Any Which Way But Loose and its sequels better, as a matter of fact.
Longest Yawn is overrated. Deliverance was OK. BURT BRONSON couldn't have played Reynolds' character much better.

My brother-in-law did work for him at his house in L.A., said he was a very good guy. My other bro-I-L worked with him in the film business and had the same opinion.
Loved his dog every bit as much as Elvis did,.
I loved both of them in this flick.

The dude could act, within his comfort range and, as they like to say, the camera loved him.
He had a presence, too. And he could laugh at himself,which for me is the highest kudo.
Bet he woulda been great to have a beer, or nine, with.
My bro had one of those TransAms. It could scoot! Ina straight line anyway. 🤡

Saw Burt in a Gunsmoke rerun a few years back and recognized him. I had no idea who he was when the originals ran.

As to the dog, I think it was Columbo's doing all the doing.

landcruiserbob: He was the real deal.
Sallie Fields provides an inside intimate evaluation of Reynolds.
"In an interview with the New York Times, Field expressed relief that Reynolds would never read her [new] memoir, including the way she described him as controlling and compared him to her abusive stepfather."
“'This would hurt him,' she said. 'I felt glad that he wasn’t going to read it, he wasn’t going to be asked about it, and he wasn’t going to have to defend himself or lash out, which he probably would have. I did not want to hurt him any further.'"

It would appear that being “the real deal” means “all too human and male.”
