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.

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

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.

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.
