Here’s something we didn’t know about Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: the friendship between Leonardo DiCaprio’s actor character and Brad Pitt’s stuntman character was based on the lifelong friendship of Burt Reynolds and his stuntman Hal Needham. Burt and Hal had matching egos and machismo (not to mention gold chains and chest Continue reading “QUENTIN TARANTINO’S INSPIRATION: BURT REYNOLDS!”
Burt Reynolds happened to die at the right time for his ex-girlfriend Sally Field. She just released a memoir, In Pieces, which included some not–so-nice recollections of their romance (we think she was holding back,) and she’s been getting a lot of publicity. Good for her- Burt did NOT treat his women well. Sally admits Continue reading “SALLY FIELD: DID SHE OR DIDN’T SHE ATTEND BURT REYNOLDS’ FUNERAL?”
Interesting to note that there are no exes or females weeping at the death of Burt Reynolds, despite the fact that he considered himself one of the hottest commodities ever to bless Hollywood. For years we covered the macho actor’s antics for Star Magazine and every year he became more unlikable. Literally every woman he Continue reading “NOT EVERYBODY IS MOURNING BURT REYNOLDS”
Recently Burt Reynolds announced that Sally Field was “the love of his life” with no mention of his ex-wife Loni Anderson. Burt and Loni’s divorce in 1993 was sensational and embarrassing. He accused her of being a bad mother and cheating and she accused him of physical abuse. It also took many years before it Continue reading “LONI ANDERSON: LOOKING GOOD IS THE BEST REVENGE”

That and five years spent as Top Boxoffice Draw fueled Reynolds’ ego. He even imagined Continue reading “BURT REYNOLDS AT 82: EGO STILL INTACT”
Every time we see 80’s sex symbol Loni Anderson,71, we think of the book, “But Enough About Me” her ex-husband Burt Reynolds, 80, wrote a couple of years ago. Burt ungallantly wrote that marrying Loni was a “really dumb move” because one should “never marry an actress.” He criticized Loni’s free spending habits – he Continue reading “LONI ANDERSON: LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE”
Photo Credit: Gary Lewis/Bauer-Griffin This picture of Burt Reynolds and Ryan O’Neal looks like it was taken in the late 70’s at some sort of ball game – maybe Lakers basketball. They were the leather jacketed cool single guys of that era – sort of like players Wilmer Valderrama and maybe Justin Timberlake today. Hard Continue reading “BURT REYNOLDS AND RYAN O'NEAL: HOLLYWOOD HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF”
