Burt Reynolds was unquestionably one of the biggest stars of his day. There was a time back in the 70s when it was almost impossible to avoid him. He toiled away as a working actor for many years, landing supportive roles on TV shows like Gunsmoke in the early 1960s before getting his own series, Hawk in 1966 followed by Dan August in 1970.
In 1972, his movie career erupted after Deliverance hit theaters. And after posing nude for Cosmopolitan, his public image was also given another boost. After that, it was one film after another, and one star-studded romance after another as well. He also frequently guest-hosted The Tonight Show whenever Johnny Carson was out of town.
He eventually turned into a stereotype of sorts. He was this well-spoken southern boy with a love for flashy cars and beautiful women. That's what people thought of whenever you mentioned his name, and he certainly didn't hate that reputation. If anything, it was pretty spot-on.
In this video, we're going to show you how Burt Reynolds went from being one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood to losing it all and almost being destitute. We're also going to dissect Reynolds's love life and identify what he said was his biggest regret.
