Widely considered to be one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1970s, Burt Reynolds was an American actor who first rose to prominence starring in television series such as Gunsmoke, Hawk, and Dan August. While he enjoyed leading roles in a couple of fairly obscure 60s films such as Navajo Joe and 100 Rifles, Reynolds's big breakthrough film role was portraying the character Lewis Medlock in 1972's Deliverance.
Burt went on to play the lead, often portrayed as the lovable rogue, in a series of commercially successful follow-up 70s films such as White Lightning, The Longest Yard, Smokey and the Bandit, and Hooper – just to name a few.
While he reached peak box office success in the 70s, Reynolds continued to enjoy a prominent place in pop culture throughout the 80s, appearing in flicks like The Cannonball Run, Sharky's Machine, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Later in his acting career, following a couple of box office failures, Reynolds returned to TV, starring in the early 90s sitcom Evening Shade. In 1997, he took another stab at cinema appearing in Paul Thomas Anderson's critically acclaimed period comedy-drama film Boogie Nights.
Throughout his prolific career, Reynolds was honored with several Emmy, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominations and awards. On top of that, he was voted the world's top box-office star from 1978 to 1982 in the yearly Top Ten Money-Making Stars Poll.
Obviously, Burt Reynolds was top of his class. Even though his personal life was often marred with controversy, no one ever argues against him being one of the most influential performers of his time.
On September 6, 2018, Reynolds died of a heart attack at the Jupiter Medical Center in Jupiter, Florida. He was 82 at the time of his death, and shortly after his passing, his ex-wife Loni Anderson and their son Quinton held a small, private memorial service for him.
Surprisingly, it took more than two years before his remains were interred at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. In this video, we'll attempt to figure out exactly why it took so long for Reynolds to be laid to rest.
