Thanks to films such as 1977’s Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds became one of the biggest movie stars of his day. It was at the height of the actor’s fame that he met fellow star Loni Anderson on the set of 1983’s Stroker Ace. Loni was a television actress that had appeared on the series WKRP in Cincinnati for a total of five years before trying to find success in film. While she didn’t end up becoming a huge film star, she did end up becoming Burt’s third and final wife.
Burt and Loni adopted a son during their marriage, but that wasn’t enough to keep them from hating each other. They divorced in 1994, and Burt could be seen badmouthing his former wife all over the tabloids. Loni refused to retaliate at first before eventually spilling some dirt of her own, claiming that Burt had been abusive during their marriage. Because of this, Burt’s legacy was tainted, and it has remained so in the wake of his 2018 death. Join Facts Verse as Loni Anderson confesses secrets behind Burt Reynolds's divorce.
