RIP Burt Reynolds

One of my all-time favorites was Sam Whiskey, from 1969. It also starred a couple other favorites of mine, Clint Walker and Ossie Davis. Oh, and Angie Dickenson.

I'm surprised he never won an Academy Award.

RIP Burt

Sad to hear another favorite passes away. I never heard of Sam Whiskey. I'll have to see about getting it. While checking it out I was saddened again to see Clint Walker passed away back in May/2018. My goodness. R.I.P. to both of them.

Now it's my turn to be shocked. I had no idea Clint Walker was still alive, let alone that he died this year. I also didn't remember that Cheyenne ran for eight years. I remember seeing him on a talk show back in the day, talking about his skiing accident. Someone had given him a get-well card with a cartoon of him with a ski pole wrapped around his neck. He told the host the truth of the matter, which was that the ski pole stabbed him in the heart , but he somehow survived.

I'm sorry he's gone too.

Burt was also broke when he died living in his mansion in Florida that he sold three years ago for 3.3 million dollars. The new owner let Burt live there till the day he died.

I watched Smokey and the Bandit 14 times when it was first out in theaters. Like Burt in Deliverance as well. RIP.

Alas - as children we liked to see Burt`y in his compressor-breathed TransAm, what fun in front of the TV box in the old GDR.

They didn't mind you watching that in the old GDR?
