What a life! I knew a woman who was his prom date in high school in Florida. They called him Buddy back then. Adam Sandler couldn't hold Burt Reynolds' jock in the remake of The Longest Yard.

RIP to a legend

Ban one

Game ball...

[Bando]

Feel like I'm the only one remembering him in Boogie Nights. He wasn't the star in that one but along with a great cast, delivered a great character.

I think I'll remember him in that rather than as The Bandit, just like I'll remember Clint Eastwood as the Boxing Coach in Million Dollar Baby vs Dirty Harry.

Best role:

[Lou1se]

/\/\ A classic!

He was a very handsome man and
I loved his humor.

RIP Burt.

When I think of Burt Reynolds, this is the first image that comes to mind. Bless his heart it never fails to put a smile on my face.

Dude lived a hell of a life. Was always a treat to see on screen.

Would have been great to hear his take on Hollywood when he started, til the end of his career. I bet he had some freaking stories to tell

[Karl_Hungus]

I remember that song when the movie came out. I always misinterpreted the lyrics "eastbound and down" as "he's found a dime".

RIP

He sure did, great actor but he certainly didn't age gracefully.


RIP

[Bando]

he certainly didn't age gracefully.

Would you want someone to say that about you after you die?

I just took you off the list of people I was considering to deliver my Eulogy.

I thought it before he died, it's just fact, the way it is. I'm sure he was well aware of it as well.

As far as what someone said about me? I wouldn't give a flying fuk if people said it when I was alive and a care a hell of a lot less after I was dead.

There's an older member here who was a competitive bodybuilder, he doesn't log in much any more because of attitudes like this. I like to celebrate people's strengths. To focus on their weakness, especially when they've passed on, seems petty and is a indicator of character flaws IMO.

Iceman can you undelete my Flex magazine thread? I've got a zinger to add to it, please and thank you.

RIP Burt...
KW getting it done...

It depends. I would agree if one were focused exclusively on a person's weaknesses, but IMO, putting those weaknesses within a broader context of strengths/triumphs paints a more accurate, human, and relatable picture than some phony eulogized version.

If someone, in my Eulogy, mentions that my Wife has to find my reading glasses even when they're on my head, that's fine. If someone gets up up and says "you know Bando has been in handcuffs, in the back of a Police car 7 times" than that's not really cool.

Especially when it's more like 9 times.

In what way? What do you mean?

I'm guessing he means the difference between top right and top left.

82. What's someone supposed to look like at 82?

I thought maybe he meant something about what Loni Anderson accused BR of or maybe the health problems he had. There are more important things than what you look like.

And he looked okay at nearly 70:

82. What's someone supposed to look like at 82?

I assumed he was referring to all the plastic surgery he had in his battle against father time (correct me if I'm wrong MT).

Sadly, none of us escapes. If we have the good fortune of making it to old age, Father Time will eventually give us all an atomic wedgie at some point. I liked Burt Reynolds. It is sad to see him go.

Don't be so damned foolish..If my saying someone didn't age gracefully would make people not frequent a forum then perhaps its best they don't frequent here, because that's pretty tame even for thin skinned people.

Burt (rest his soul) Worked his ass off, he did most if not all of his own stunts, he also played pretty hard. He had a quintuple bypass in 2010, the injury's and time caught up with him faster then some folks. The last few times I seen him, he was frail looking and had difficulty walking. A great actor, he kept us entertained for many years, he was no doubt one of my favorites and will be missed.
