Burt Reynolds Quotes

  • [on Boogie Nights (1997)] I hated the experience. I thought I’d sold out, in a way. I wasn’t sure whether that was why they were offering the film to me, but apparently, I did it very well. It won some awards and I was proud of that. But I’ve done 60 films or something, and it was just the worst experience I ever had. [2016]
  • (On At Long Last Love (1975)) Not as bad as it was reviewed. What was reviewed was Cybill and Peter’s relationship. You see, Peter Bogdanovich has done something that all critics will never forgive him for doing. That is, stop being a critic, go make a film and have that film be enormously successful. What he did then was to go on talk shows, and be rather arrogant and talk about how bad critics are. That was the final straw. So they were waiting with their knives and whatever. And along came Peter who finally gave them something they could kill him with. Unfortunately there I was, between Cybill’s broad shoulders and Peter’s ego. And I got killed along with the rest of them.
  • (On The Cannonball Run (1981)) “I did that film for all the wrong reasons. I never liked it. I did it to help out a friend of mine, Hal Needham. And I also felt it was immoral to turn down that kind of money. I suppose I sold out so I couldn’t really object to what people wrote about me.”
  • [on Charlie Sheen’s HIV status] I don’t feel bad for him. He’s getting what he deserves. If you’re going to misbehave like that, they’re going to get you… He misbehaved badly. Very badly.
  • [why he will never work with director Paul Thomas Anderson again] Personality-wise, we didn’t fit. (…) I think mostly because he was young and full of himself. (…) Every shot we did, it was like the first time [that shot had ever been done]. I remember the first shot we did in Boogie Nights (1997), where I drive the car to Grauman’s Theater. After [that] he said, ‘Isn’t that amazing?’ And I named five pictures that had the same kind of shot. It wasn’t original. But if you have to steal, steal from the best. (…) I’d done my picture with Paul Thomas Anderson, that was enough for me. [2015]
  • Directing is what I’d love to do. I’d rather direct than anything. I think that’s what I’ll probably end up doing; hopefully, I’ll get a wonderful script…I think it will help me get away from a lot of painful stuff. I think I can do something that will surprise people. [Dec. 2015]
  • [2015 interview] I’ve done more than 100 movies. I’m proud of maybe five of them.
  • [on Sally Field] I miss her terribly. Even now, it’s hard on me. I don’t know why I was so stupid. Men are like that, you know. You find the perfect person, and then you do everything you can to screw it up. There isn’t anything, no matter how good it is, or how good it tastes, or how much fun it is, where too much is good for you. It can destroy you. And you have to learn. It’s a hard lesson. But you have to learn to back off and do as good as you can in your chosen profession. And don’t screw it up. And the best way to screw it up is having too much of a good thing.
  • I will sometimes be very shut off from everybody. I can be very pettish and sometimes not available when you need me. At those times, I’m very selfish and worrying about my own problems … I’m just being a prick. I don’t like that guy. I really hate that guy. And that’s me. But we all have the Devil inside us.
  • I just heard the terrible news. Rowdy stayed at my house whenever he was in Florida. Whether driving down US 1 at 110 miles an hour in the Bandit or just sitting across the table over a cup of coffee, he lived life to the fullest. He once told my acting class that wrestling was exploding, but the acting was imploding – and he knew because he had done it all, and done it all so well. I miss my friend.
  • [on the death of James Best] I was fortunate enough to call him my friend since the day he walked on the set of Gunsmoke (1955) back in the early ’60s. Onset or off, behind the scenes, in front of a class or just as a friend, his name was so fitting because he was truly the ‘best at whatever he did. My heart is heavy, and I miss him deeply.
  • The audience will always forgive you for being wrong and exciting, but never for being right and dull.
  • If I want to be up for an Academy Award, I’m either going to have to play a tour de force of some kind or have a tracheotomy just before the nominations.
  • When I worked with Willie Nelson – who is just about the nicest man I’ve ever worked with in my life – I thought, ‘If I’d have been gay, it would’ve saved me millions, just because we’d still be happily married.’
  • [about his “spaghetti western” Navajo Joe (1966)] They hacked up an old wig and glued it on my head. I looked like Natalie Wood.
  • [commenting on the number of Indians he’s played in his career] The only Indian I haven’t played is Pocahontas.
  • [about friends who stood by him through his life] With people like Johnny Carson and Clint Eastwood, if you are honest and candid with them, they know you just want to be their friend. Johnny has a sensitive, vulnerable spot in him, and he showed that to me and I never analyzed it. I was just grateful for it. And with Clint, well, he only says about four or five words a year, and when he does, he’s funny and wonderfully warm and everyone now realizes how intelligent he is. Elizabeth Taylor is a phenomenal friend. Again, she’s been worked over pretty good, so when she is with someone who has also been in quicksand, there isn’t anything held back. And I liked Dolly Parton from the beginning because I was raised in the South and always have had a great passion for it. I told her after an interview I did with several of the Grand Old Opry stars that she was going to be a major star. I just didn’t know which medium it would be in. She looked at me, and Dolly being Dolly, said “When?”
  • [talking about losing his friend Dom DeLuise] Will I miss him? Yes, every time I laugh…every time I smile, and every time I think of the kindness from one actor to another. A great big piece of my heart is gone. It seems to be a cliché these days to say someone is irreplaceable, but for me, Dom is.
  • [after the death of his friend Dom DeLuise]: As you get older, and start to lose people you love, you think about it more, and I was dreading this moment. Dom always made you feel better when he was around and there will never be another like him. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss him very much.
  • [about Ossie Davis] I want so badly someday to have his dignity. A little of it anyway.
  • [About Sally Jo Wagner, who worked for most of her life at the Burt Reynolds Theatre] She was my hero. I’ve never met anyone braver than this little lady. During all of the years I knew her, I never once heard her complain about her condition or the pain she most obviously suffered. She never asked for anything and, if you offered, she would turn it around and do something twice as profound for you. She was the best of friends with some of my best friends like Ossie Davis and Charles Nelson Reilly. Everyone loved her but none more than me.
  • If you’ve as many films as I have, and missed as many opportunities as I have to do good work and been pissed off about it, you say, “Well, now you’ve got to start getting it right”. If you get a chance, you really want to cook. And the tragedy is, when you finally feel that way about yourself, about your work, nobody wants you to give you a chance. And that happens to a lot of actors. But I’m feeling very wanted these days, so there must be something in the air.
  • I’ve had a tremendous amount of fun making fun of myself! As to my legacy, it’s the kids that I have taught. I love this business so very much that I want to share my knowledge about it. The young actors that I have taught, I hope they think of me as a good teacher like ‘Charles Nelson Reilly’. Being a good teacher. I’ll take that over being a good actor any day!
  • [on Sally Field] She’s tough, she’s gritty, she’s got a great sense of humor and she gets prettier every day.
  • [on Peter Bogdanovich] You’re talking about a man who did something quite extraordinary. He was a film critic. He then went and made The Last Picture Show (1971), which won a few nominations for the Academy Award. He was very resented for that. Not openly, but deep down inside, the critics said … kill.
  • [on Marlon Brando] As an actor, he is a genius, and even when he’s dull he’s still much better than most actors at the top of their form. But he has preserved the mentality of an adolescent. It’s a pity. When he doesn’t try and someone’s speaking to him, it’s like a blank wall: in fact, it’s even less interesting because behind a blank wall you can always suppose that something is interesting there.
  • [on Frank Capra] He was my favorite director. Woody Allen and I once sat in a restaurant and picked five pictures we’d take to an island. And much to my shock, he didn’t take a Capra picture and I took two. He took three Ingmar Bergman movies.
  • [on Goldie Hawn] Goldie is one of the sharpest ladies I’ve ever worked with. She doesn’t miss a thing. She’s my greatest audience. She laughs at all my stories and in the right places, too.
  • [on his divorce from Loni Anderson] I’m paying the third-highest alimony and child support in the world. And the only two ahead of me are sheiks.
  • [on longtime girlfriend Sally Field]: You know, I never told Sally that I loved her. I should have done that.
  • [on Deliverance (1972) author/co-star James Dickey]: “He’s the kind of man that, after he has had 4 martinis, makes you want to drop a grenade down his throat.”
  • Sean Connery had said he wanted more money and left and Cubby Broccoli [Albert R. Broccoli] came to visit me and said, “We want you to play James Bond”. And I said, in my infinite wisdom, “An American can’t play James Bond. It just can’t be done”. Now, in the middle of the night, you hear me wake up in this cold sweat going, “Bond, James Bond!
  • I’m going to retire hopefully as Cary Grant did. I’ll be on stage telling a story, everyone’s going to applaud and laugh and then I’ll drop like a rock.
  • There are three stages of an actor’s career. Young, old, and “You look good”
  • Women are my drugs and alcohol. When I’m involved with one woman, I’m involved with one woman. Period. But between romances, I am carnivorous.
  • [on Sharky’s Machine (1981)] Author Sidney Sheldon first mentioned William Diehl’s novel “Sharky’s Machine” to me at a party. Soon afterward Clint Eastwood sent me a copy of the same best-selling book with a note saying, “This is Dirty Harry (1971) in Atlanta!” Discovering it combined elements of two of my favorite movies, Laura (1944) and Rear Window (1954), I persuaded newly formed partners Orion Pictures and Warner Brothers to acquire the screen rights for me. The kind of film Robert Aldrich would’ve been great at, I knew from the get-go I had to direct. Granted complete creative control, for me only the third time this had happened, I assembled my cast. The film had one of the best crews I’ve ever worked with. Let me just say this about Charles Durning. He may be America’s finest working actor today. Right down to the soundtrack, a jazz fiend, I called my own list of all-stars. The picture opened at the end of the year to critical reviews that were beyond my expectations. But when even the New York Time’s Vincent Canby also got it, I was bowled over. The reviews made me a hot director.
  • [on his financial setbacks] I trusted my manager with my money during my illness. Now I was broke. Money woes stayed with me. I grabbed whatever pictures were offered. Admittedly films like Malone (1987), Rent-a-Cop (1987), and Switching Channels (1988), all made between the end of 1986 and the middle of 1987, helped my bank account. But they were making me part of an endangered species, an old actor. However, there are times when you can be artistic, and times when you have to be realistic.
  • [on the upcoming roles he is picking]: I’m finally choosing a role for the right reason. It’s not about the location (“Jamaica? I’ll take it!”) or the leading lady. It’s about the words. I know I’ll never be No. 1 again, but I’ll be a working actor. And this time, I’ll be a grownup. It’s time. We have a saying in the South: “No man’s a man until his father tells him he is!” Well, mine never told me and that was a problem. But my son did.
  • [on his character on The Crew (2000)]: I knew which character I wanted to play because I understand this guy very well. He goes from being perfectly sane to, within a quarter of a second, choking you to death and banging your head against the floor. I’ve played wise-guys before, but I’ve never played a wise-guy who is as demented. There’s a reason why they call him ‘Bats’.
  • [after he heard that Smokey and the Bandit (1977) was the favorite film of director Alfred Hitchcock] I have had people who were very intellectual and my heroes, that have quietly said to me, “I loved ‘Smokey and the Bandit’!” And I said, “It’s alright because so did 150 million other people!” I’m thrilled that Mr. Hitchcock felt that way and I convey to his daughter that, needless to say, he was the best.
  • [on Larry King Live (1985), talking about the great parts he turned down]: There are no awards in Hollywood for being an idiot.
  • [on his friends who called him after the Oscar nomination] It was, well, the people that didn’t leave when I was dying of AIDS and then had a miraculous recovery. It was the people that have been around forever as friends. It was Angie Dickinson, it was Ann-Margret, Jon Voight, Charles Durning, a whole lot of people that aren’t in the industry who are very good friends and 500 stuntmen, I work with their grandsons now. Then you realize how long you’ve been doing this.
  • [on the Oscar nomination] I’d shot all night and was staying at the Banff Springs Resort Hotel in Canada, which is absolutely gorgeous. It looks like a castle, but it was built in the 1800s and at 4 a.m. you think you’re in The Shining (1980), you expect Jack Nicholson to jump out. The hallway is a mile long. I came back and there was a crew there. They said, “Would you mind?” and I thought, “You mean, you want me to sit there and if I’m not nominated, you guys go home?” And I actually have to give you the chair back and everything. And everybody said, “No, no, you gotta do it”. I’m sittin’ in this chair thinking, “Well, I’m very calm . . . ” I got this little thing in my ear and I’m hearing them announcing the nominations. Well, of course, they announced them alphabetically, and unless you’re Maud Adams, you know you’re gonna be late. It just seemed like forever and then, when I heard it, I (was) dumbstruck for lack of a better word.
  • [on marriage]: I’m terrified of marriage. I’m terrified of not doing something so important and at the same time, I think you shouldn’t rush into these things.
  • [In 1981]: My acting is a bit like basketball. Most females in my films come off very well. I give great assist. And if I’m lucky, I even score.
  • [on his comeback]: If you hold on to things long enough, they get back into style. Like me.
  • [on his few bad movies]: My films were the kind they only show in prisons and airplanes because nobody can leave.
  • [on his career mistakes]: All of the younger actors keep coming up to me and asking me where all of the land mines are because they know I’ve stepped on them all.
  • [on his success in Hollywood]: The only way you can hurt anyone in this business is by succeeding and hurting their pocketbook maybe or just smiling and not giving up.
  • [on his strengths and weaknesses]: “I regret that I do not have the dignity of Ricardo Montalban, the class of Dean Martin, or the humor of Bill Cosby. I DO have the heart of a lion.
  • [on his career’s phases and the Oscar]: I’ve gone through every single career phase of getting to this point. If they give the award for being old, not giving up and for loving acting almost as much as loving life, then it’s definitely mine.
  • I am beginning to think there’s a lot of nice people around in this business.
  • [Interview in McCall’s magazine] You get to a certain age, where you know you can’t go over the wall, but I’ll never get to the age where I can’t go through it.
  • [on playing an aging Jewish shopkeeper in Waterproof (2000)] It’s a real challenge. I just hope Billy Crystal doesn’t get P.O.’d.
  • [on his longtime fans]: First of all, it’s usually a sea of blue hair and I’m grateful that they’re still alive and around. I hope they understand that they are responsible for true joy. But the people in the seats were saying, put him in there, and those are the ones that, if I ever win anything, they are more responsible than any producer in Hollywood, because, they never, never walked away.
  • Friends come in herds and they leave in herds. Hollywood loves an adventure, but you have to hit bottom. Then they love to save you and be a part of it. Or think they’re a part of it.
  • [on the 1970s] It was an astounding kind of time and I’ve often said to people, “If I met you between ’73 and ’78, I’m sorry, I don’t remember three or four of those years”. You’re on such a fast track and you’re up in such heady air you can’t breathe, how the hell are you gonna smell the flowers if you can’t breathe anyway? That’s why it’s wonderful to happen now when you don’t expect it and if you live through it and come out the other side, you are so much more appreciative. I think, not to sound too serious as you get older, I think you’re a better person for it.
  • [on the stunt scenes he did for his thriller Crazy Six (1997)]: I told them, “Look, I can do this. I can still fall; I just can’t get up!” But the character is dead, anyway!
  • [on Dinah Shore] One of the greatest ladies I ever knew was Dinah Shore and she taught me right away if you can’t laugh at yourself, you have no business in this business. If I have any class — and that’s probably debatable — it’s due to Dinah.
  • [After his nomination for Boogie Nights (1997)]: My being nominated this year is no comeback story because I simply refused to go away.
  • [when asked about happiness]: I am happy. I was just talking to a very savvy casting director, who’s been around for a long time, who said, “I’m so happy for you!” and I knew he was. I said I wish this would never end. I wish there was never an award, a rush party, I don’t want to join the fraternity. I just wanna go on with the rush part.
  • [on Boogie Nights (1997)]: It’s obvious why someone, I think, would be afraid of this project and I thought I had some baggage in terms of a lot of people who grew up with movies like I did would wonder why I would even be near a film like that. I also felt like this thing will either crash and burn, be the biggest disaster of all time, or the most talked-about film of the year. Quite honestly I needed a jump start and so it was a brave choice. I kept turning it down and then getting reassurances that we had humanity. And the humanity was I was a surrogate father for damaged goods and the first day we read, I was astounded at the talent, these young actors who I hadn’t worked with, some of ’em I didn’t know. Incredible. And about 10-15 minutes into the reading Mark Wahlberg came over and sat down beside me and he said, “How ya doin’ Dad?” It stayed like that, the relationship stayed like that through the whole film.
  • [on his character in Waterproof (2000)] He’s a 73-year-old Jewish grocery store owner on a street that’s entirely African-American. He’s the only holdout. He’s not moving. Tough old guy. I’m finding out to my own surprise, that I can do things I didn’t think I could.
  • [on his Oscar nomination]: I’m stunned that I’m in this category, which I think is the toughest category, but then why shouldn’t I? It’s my category. But there are guys there that, it’s not bad enough that there are brilliant actors, but one’s that been knighted, you know? It’s unbelievable to me. And George C. Scott is right, unless we all played the same role, it really isn’t quite fair. I may streak again. I have no idea what my reaction will be, all I know is I’ll go in with no expectations.
  • [on the rape scene in Deliverance (1972)] The day before we shot the scene I noticed [Bill McKinney] hovering beside Ned [Ned Beatty] and sat down between them. I wanted him to see I was Ned’s friend. No different than in the script. Then I asked him how he planned to handle the rape scene. McKinney turned out to be a pretty good guy who just took “The Method” way too far. Staring straight at Ned, he whispered, “I’ve always wanted to try that. Always have.” Ned shouted, “John! Oh, John!”. In his brilliance, Boorman [John Boorman] reassured Ned but also brought in several additional cameras, knowing Ned wasn’t going to give him a second, third, or fourth take. Ned was only going to do the brutal scene once. When it came down to shooting it, [‘Herbert Cowboy Coward’] and McKinney was hands-down brilliant. Scared the shit out of everybody who saw the movie. People crawled out of the theatre. None of that creepy “squeal, piggy, piggy” stuff was in the script. But McKinney, I swear to God, really wanted to hump Ned. And I think he was going to. He had it up and he was going to bang him. It’s the first and only time I have ever seen camera operators turn their heads away. Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I ran into the scene, dove on McKinney, and pulled him off. Boorman, hot on my tracks, helped hold him down. Ned, who was crying from both rage and fear, found a big stick and started beating him on the head. Half a dozen guys grabbed Ned and pulled him away. We separated the two of them and let things cool off.
  • [on Bill McKinney, with whom he worked in Deliverance (1972)] I thought the other guy, Bill McKinney, was a little bent. I used to get up at five in the morning and see him running nude through the golf course while the sprinklers watered the grass. A strange dude, he moved to L.A. after “Deliverance” and worked in a lot of pictures of Clint Eastwood. He always played sickos, but he played them well. With my dark sense of humor, I was kind of amused by him. But as we got closer to the rape scene, I caught him staring at Ned Beatty in an odd, unnerving way. Ned would see it, and look away.
  • [on Sally Field]: I haven’t seen her in 10 years and I’d like to very much. Because I’d like to tell her in person what I didn’t know then. That is, how incredibly unselfish she was in terms of the time she spent with me. You know, inside that little body of hers is one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. What I didn’t ever appreciate enough, until I had Quinton, was what it means to have a child and say to somebody else, “I’ll be with you”, away from my child. And now I know what an incredible gift that was.
  • [on young filmmakers]: Having done 300 television shows and almost 60 movies, I’m tired of having guys who are younger than some sandwiches I’ve had, telling me to turn left at the couch. There’s no appreciation of actors and no sense of history.
  • [on Paul Thomas Anderson]: “Most filmmakers today have no sense of the history of our business, but he knows every shot John Ford made. And he doesn’t lack confidence. He really knew which shots he wanted to make. I remember the first shot in Boogie Nights (1997), which is one of the longest shots in history. And I, being the irascible old type I am sometimes, said, ‘Have you timed this? Is this longer than Citizen Kane (1941) ?’ And he said, ‘Oh, yes. It’s three seconds longer.'”

  • Ironically, while Reynolds was nominated for a “Best Motion Picture Actor – Musical or Comedy” Golden Globe for his performance as “Paul Crewe” in The Longest Yard (1974), he was nominated for a Razzie Award for “Worst Supporting Actor” for his performance in the 2005 remake (The Longest Yard (2005)). Here, he played “Coach Scarboro” to Adam Sandler’s “Paul Crewe”.
  • After having worked with director John Boorman in Deliverance (1972), was cast by Boorman one year later to play the lead in the science-fiction Zardoz (1974). Reynolds had to pull out due to illness and Sean Connery got the part. Reynolds and Boorman almost worked together again, this time in 1980, when Boorman was attached, for some time, to direct him in Sharky’s Machine (1981). When Boorman left the picture, Reynolds directed the film himself.
  • Sidney Lumet wanted him for the main role in Power (1986). He turned the part down, and Richard Gere was cast.
  • In 1999 one of the projects that never realized for him was “Bulls Night Out”. The movie was supposed to be an old-fashioned cop drama about over-the-hill cops taking justice into their own hands. It was to be directed by Burt himself and to star him and several other veteran action stars. Roy Scheider, Danny Aiello, Louis Gossett Jr., and Charles Durning were all attached. It was supposed to be funded by a then-new studio called Ray Art Studios, based in Canoga Park, CA. For a variety of reasons, the film never got made.
  • Immediately after his artistic comeback with Boogie Nights (1997), he did several indie films and was attached to star in several independent movies. One of these projects was the comedy The Oh in Ohio (2006). Parker Posey, who was a fan of Reynolds, personally offered him a part in the film, but his commitment to another project made it impossible for him to play the role. Danny DeVito got the part.
  • He met director David O. Russell in late 1995 for dinner, to discuss a possible role for him in the independent movie Flirting with Disaster (1996). Although the two felt very enthusiastic about his playing a part, negotiations fell through.
  • Mentioned in Bruce Springsteen’s song “Cadillac Ranch”.
  • Canadian electronics store Future Shop referred to his Smokey and the Bandit (1977) car and set up as “the Burt”, to demonstrate its 2008 HDTV and sub-woofer.
  • His numerous achievements have been recognized by his having been named America’s Favorite All-Around Motion Picture Actor (People’s Choice Award) for a record six consecutive years; the Most Popular Star for five years running; Star of the Year (National Association of Theatre Owners); and #1 Box Office Star for five years in a row, still an unmatched record. He was honored with the 2007 Taurus World Stunt Award for “Lifetime Achievement for an Action Movie Star” and received this special citation from the Republican Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  • Like many other celebrities, he is an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
  • Met one of his heroes, Spencer Tracy, while filming Riverboat (1959). Tracy was filming Inherit the Wind (1960) on the same lot and Reynolds used to watch him walk from the set to his trailer every day. After a while, Tracy finally turned to him and said, “Come on, kid.” For the next several weeks the two would meet and talk about sports and, every once in a while, acting.
  • Early in his career, he appeared as a contestant on The Dating Game (1965).
  • Attended Elizabeth Taylor’s “Commitment to Life” fund-raiser for AIDS research on 19 September 1985, where Burt Lancaster read Rock Hudson’s statement announcing he had been diagnosed with AIDS. At one point Reynolds was booed when he read a telegram of support from President Ronald Reagan. Reynolds summed up the frustration of the lack of AIDS awareness when he angrily said, “If this were a benefit for cancer, reporters wouldn’t be asking stupid questions like, ‘Why are you here?'”.
  • The character design of the Comedian/Edward Blake in Alan Moore’s graphic novel “Watchmen” is said to have been based on Reynolds. He was even considered for the role when the novel was in discussion to be adapted to film.
  • Sales of the Pontiac Trans Am increased by 500% after Smokey and the Bandit (1977). Pontiac was so grateful to Reynolds that it promised him a new Trans Am every year in perpetuity. The promise lasted five years. He drove a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am Limited Edition in these movies.
  • Was director Milos Forman’s first choice for the lead in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) but United Artists believed his appeal with average moviegoers might prevent the film from attracting the critical attention it felt was necessary for the film to be a box-office hit? Jack Nicholson was cast instead in the role that won him his first Best Actor Oscar. Eight years later, Reynolds was writer-director James L. Brooks’ first choice for the role of amorous astronaut Garrett Breedlove in Terms of Endearment (1983). This time, Reynolds passed on the project, clearing the way for Nicholson to win his second Oscar, this one for Best Supporting Actor.
  • Turned down the role of “Han Solo” in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977).
  • Though their relationship eventually did not work out, Reynolds still speaks fondly of Sally Field and he regards her as having been a positive influence on his life.
  • Lost the 1997 Razzie award for Worst Supporting Actor to Marlon Brando by a mere single vote. Reynolds was nominated for his performance in Striptease (1996) and Brando for his role in The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). The vote was cast by Razzie awards founder John Wilson, who always chooses to vote last.
  • Has been named to Quigley Publications’ annual Top 10 Poll of Money-Making Stars 12 times, tying him for tenth place with Harrison Ford. John Wayne is #1 on the all-time list, with 25 appearances in the Top 10.
  • Was named the #1 top money-making star at the box office in Quigley Publications’ annual poll of movie exhibitors for five consecutive years from 1978-92, equaling the record set by Bing Crosby from 1944-48. Only Tom Cruise, who was named #1 six times between 1986 and 2001, has won more box-office crowns. Both Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks also have been #1 five times, but non-consecutively.
  • He has English, with more remote Northern Irish (Scots-Irish), Scottish and Dutch ancestry. He is also said to have Cherokee Native American roots, although it is not clear if this ancestry has been documented/verified.
  • Had a long affair with Dinah Shore.
  • Hit #88 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1980 with the song “Let’s Do Something Cheap and Superficial”, from the film Smokey and the Bandit II (1980).
  • Graduate of Palm Beach High School, Palm Beach, Florida, Class of 1954.
  • Turned down the role of John McClane in Die Hard (1988). The role went to Bruce Willis.
  • Had a relationship with Sally Field for many years, but she refused his numerous proposals, and they eventually broke up.
  • Member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
  • Was seriously involved with actress Inger Stevens shortly before her suicide in 1970. He has respectfully refused to discuss the relationship.
  • He bared almost all for a Cosmopolitan centerfold in 1972.
  • Was the first actor ever asked to guest-host The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962)? Before Reynolds, only comedians had been invited. His first (?) guest was his ex-wife Judy Carne, who he hadn’t spoken to in over six years after a very bitter divorce.
  • Mentioned in the theme song of the pilot version (4 Nov 1981) of the 1980s TV hit The Fall Guy (1981).
  • Is a 1958 graduate of Florida State University.
  • During the mid-’80s he tried to make a comeback with Heat (1986), written by William Goldman. He hoped the movie, directed by Robert Altman, would mark a new phase in his career. Unfortunately, Altman had an altercation with producer Elliott Kastner and left the project. The movie ended up being a box-office failure.
  • Refused the role that earned Jack Nicholson an Oscar in Terms of Endearment (1983). To this day he comments that this was one of his most terrible mistakes. He also refused the role Kevin Kline played in Soapdish (1991), with Sally Field, because his then-wife, Loni Anderson, told him that all of Hollywood would laugh at her, as Reynolds and Field once had a very long and heavily publicized affair.
  • Attended Florida State University on a football scholarship, but only played in two seasons. He was a star running back. His college football career was ended by a knee injury.
  • His working relationship with Paul Thomas Anderson during the making of Boogie Nights (1997) was very difficult and he hated the film so much that he fired his agent immediately after viewing a screening of the film. This was before the critical raves after the New York Film Festival occurred. He was then convinced by Anderson to promote the film on a radio tour and was further enraged at Anderson’s behavior (constantly not letting Reynolds speak). This was the final straw for Reynolds, who, after a week or so of promoting the film, tried to punch Anderson in the face and stopped promoting the film. Reynolds later refused to participate in Anderson’s next project, Magnolia (1999).
  • In January 1998 he became engaged to former waitress Pam Seals.
  • Has an adopted son, Quinton A. Reynolds (aka Quinton Anderson Reynolds) (born August 31, 1988), with former wife, Loni Anderson.
  • When Francis Ford Coppola decided to make a project about the life of the famous Preston Tucker, he wanted Reynolds to play Tucker. They had many discussions about the movie and made plans, but the film did not get made until 1988, this time with Jeff Bridges in the role. Reynolds only got Lewis Medlock’s role in Deliverance (1972) after the stars who were originally chosen to play the lead–including Marlon Brando, Henry Fonda, and James Stewart–declined the part after they heard about the risks of the Chattooga River.
  • In 1968 he tested for a role in Rosemary’s Baby (1968), but Roman Polanski ended up casting John Cassavetes for the part.
