"Burt Reynolds, the charismatic star of 'Smokey and the Bandit' and 'Deliverance,' left an indelible mark on Hollywood, but his life was marred by controversy, feuds, and a 30-year rift with co-star Kathleen Turner. According to insiders, Reynolds' on-set clash with Turner on the 1988 comedy 'Switching Channels' was so intense that the crew had to intervene.
Reynolds' most hated movie, the 1984 buddy action comedy 'City Heat,' nearly killed him after a stuntman smashed him with a real metal chair, leaving him with a broken jaw. The incident was a turning point in his career, and he struggled to cope with the pain and humiliation.
Despite these challenges, Reynolds continued to push boundaries, starring in Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' and reviving his career with 'The Last Movie Star.' However, his legacy was complicated by his feuds, including one with Kathleen Turner, which lasted for nearly three decades.
Reynolds' ashes were not buried until February 2021, nearly three years after his death, due to legal and financial struggles with his estate. The prolonged delay has sparked questions about the handling of his remains and the impact on his family.
As the entertainment world continues to grapple with Reynolds' complex legacy, fans are left to wonder what could have been. 'He was a complex individual off-screen, but a charismatic star on-screen,' says a source close to the actor. 'His films defined an era of high-speed, big-screen Americana, but his personal life was marked by controversy and struggle.'"
