Remembering Burt Reynolds (1936-2018)

Impossibly handsome and sexy Burt Reynolds has passed away.  His television and movie career has spanned more than five decades.  I first fell in love with him in Smokey and the Bandit.  He was the epitome of the human male and we all wanted to be him. 

He was born in Lansing, Michigan in 1936 and, although he wanted to become a football player, he started acting at Palm Beach Junior College and won the Florida State Drama Award in 1956.  His breakout role was portraying Lewis in the movie Deliverance.

He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in a Supporting Role for Boogie Nights, but he did win a Golden Globe.

Rest in peace, Burt.
