I've been watching Burt a lot the past year or so in the old black and white Gunsmoke episodes. RIP Burt.

RIP, Mr Ferguson.

I haven't mentioned it - but yes - Rest In Peace good sir.

Sam Elliot

RIP sir. I even liked Stroker Ace!

RIP Burton Leon Reynolds. I sure enjoyed watching you play Bo Danville as a kid as well as Lewis, Sonny Hooper, JJ McClure, Stroker Ace and many many more.

Oh man, that laugh...and the non scripted looks at the camera?

I imagine he would have been really cool to hang out with and have a beer.

...and Loni Anderson?

Tip of the hat sir, few have lived as large.

RIP

Did not know he was once married to the Sock It To Me girl from Laugh In Judy Carne. She was hot but played second fiddle to Goldie.

The average testosterone level in america just dropped by 50%

Smokey and the Bandit was the first non G rated movie I went to.

I'm in the era where that could conceivably be true for me as well, but my parents didn't have reservations for 'PG' material.

We went to indoor cinema and drive-ins both with great frequency.

MoF, I have little doubt I saw some unnamed 'R' content before I saw Smokey, because I would always sneak glances over at the other Drive-In screen where the grownup movies played.

The earliest I can distinctly recall is Phantom of the Paradise at the Crest Drive-In [74-75], but I doubt that was my first film ever.

And of course I saw Star Wars opening night at the Glendale [77].

Watched White Lightning again recently and wondered how he was doing..

RIP Burt
