Bummer. Rest In Peace, Bandit. My kids watched Smoky and the Bandit last weekend for the first time. As you would expect, they loved it. My boy is now obsessed with 70s era Trans Ams. When I was a kid, I was sure I'd eventually have Bandit's Trans Am. Came close once.

Did he tag Sally fields? I hope he did. Starting about the time of Smokey and the Bandit, they were together for five years. Even Burt said, stupidest thing he ever did was to schitt in that nest. He recently stated his respect and care for Sally to this day.

Don William song I like.
"If Hollywood Don't Need You (Honey, I Still Do)"
Oh, and if you see Burt Reynolds Would you shake his hand for me? And tell old Burt, I've seen all his movies Well, I hope you make the big time I hope your dreams come true But if Hollywood don't need you Honey, I still do
RIP Burt.

if things happens in threes, then does that include john mccain, aretha franklin & burt reynolds?
maybe at this point, the rule of threes no longer applies to the rank & file?
the rule of threes has been debated nearly forever, no resolution?

When I was a kid, I was sure I'd eventually have Bandit's Trans Am. Came close once. I did have one! Black 1978. 400 CID 5 speed. Last ticket I got was in 1980 in that car. Was doing 65 in a 55 on IH 10.... Hell, the speed limit is 80 there now...

If you see Bert Reynolds. Tell old Bert I've seen all his movies- If Hollywood Don't Need I Still Do You by Don Williams.
Deliverence and Longest Yards were my favorites. W W and the Dixie Dance Kings was good as well.

RIP Bandit! Good thing we have such great masculine actors to backfill like DiCaprio or Matt Damon

The evening news claimed Burt stated there are a lot of actors but "nobody had more fun" .

Perhaps his best played role was on a somewhat obscure TV film: "Run Simon Run".

He might have been an FSU boy, but I have nothing to say negative about the man.

at one time he owned the carlton cigarettes family estate in loganville, ga. lot's of local girls got invited to attend his parties. i never was invited, but did drive by the place on the way south to macon many many times. a big white mansion on a hill. later he sold it, and the whole place has been parcelized. I remember that place. Not surprised the local "talent' got free tours.
