BURT REYNOLDS “There ain’t nothing like the life of a Hollywood stuntman”  Today we find ourselves looking back at the career highs of the man who made the transition from stunt work to box office gold. The late great Burt Reynolds. Burt passed away recently at the age of 82, but what a life! The biggest box office sensation between 1975 and 1980 and the man who teamed up with stunt legend Hal Needham to create some of the very best action comedies of the last fifty years. We look at his start in Hollywood as a stuntman on TV shows in the 50s to his great movie adventures of the 70s including DELIVERENCE, WHITE LIGHTENING and the classic SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. Come with us as we look at Burt, his movies, the stunts he performed and the friends and stuntmen he had worked with and inspired throughout his career.
