He was scheduled to play the role of George Spahn (of Spahn movie ranch) in Quinton Tarantino's new movie "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood". It's supposed to be based on Burt and Hal Needham's bachelor days partying in Hollywood during the Charles Manson killings.

Burt and Hal...

It's hard not to remember Burt without remember Norm McDonald's incredible parody of him.

some may not like the Times, but this is a well written obithttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/06/obituaries/burt-reynolds-dead.html?action=click&module=In%20Other%20News&pg type=Homepage&action=click&module=News&pgtype=Home page

I recommend the Nedham autobiography "Stuntman" for some funny behind-the-scenes stories on Burt. I was a fan and still wear a "Burt Reynolds Ranch" belt buckle from his Jupiter property.

Burt is one guy that always seemed to me having a good time. His visits to the Tonight Show are classics.

That is why I posted that video, his laugh is contagious and real.

I live about 25 miles north of where he lived and never heard a bad word about the man.

He was well loved by the locals.


I hope to get to his old restaurant next weekend and will take pics and repeat the stories I was told. Good stuff.

While the place is in new hands, it was not changed in decor at all, the new owners, years ago, felt Burts vision of the place should remain in tact, now more than ever.

Not to disrespect, but he was over-rated as an actor.

Like Sinatra...he did it his way.

Snowman, I'm 10-8, 10-10, 10-7 and on my way to your 20. Bandit out!
