Burt Reynolds Dead : Boogie Nights’ Actor Dies at…

Burt Reynolds, the charming star of the films such as, Deliverance, The Longest Yard etc. who set out to have as much fun as possible on and off the screens and who widely flourished has died. He died at an age of 82.

Reynolds, who received an Oscar nomination when he portrayed porn director Jack Horner in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights (1997) and was the No. 1 box-office attraction for a five-year stretch starting in the late 1970s, died Thursday morning at Jupiter Medical Centre in Florida, as told by  his manager, Erik Kritzer, to one of  The Hollywood Reporter.

The cause for his death was the cardiopulmonary arrest.

He was born in Lansing, Michigan, on February 11, 1936.

An All-State football player in high school, Reynolds attended Florida State University on an athletic scholarship, playing halfback.

Although he intended to go further, his career was cut short by a series of injuries. Reynolds briefly contemplated a career in law enforcement, but a teacher recognised his talent while reading Shakespeare in English class and pushed him towards acting.

 He spent a decade taking on little roles in Hollywood before breaking through with the roles in some of the biggest films of the decade.

He began appearing on television in the late ’50s, but it wasn’t until 1962 that he appends a consistent role as the half-Native American blacksmith Quint Asper on “Gunsmoke.”

A decade later, he had his big-screen breakthrough in “Deliverance,” John Boorman’s psychological thriller about four friends whose rafting trip in rural takes a terrifying turn.

Reynolds said he considered the Oscar-nominated film, which co-starred Jon Voight, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox, the best of his career.

The film helped establish Reynolds as one of the most marketable stars of the decade.

Reynolds’ career also is marked by the movies he didn’t make. Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson and Bruce Willis surely were grateful after he turned down the roles of Han Solo, retired astronaut Garrett Breedlove and cop John McClane in Star Wars, Terms of Endearment and Die Hard, respectively. He often said that passing on James L. Brooks’ Endearment was one of his worst career mistakes.

An action star who did many of his own stunts, Reynolds was also a persistent flirt on-screen, helping to make one of the biggest sex symbols of his time. As did his infamous appearance in the nude as a Cosmopolitan centrefold in April 1972.

Reynolds was married to British actress Judy Carne from 1963-66 and then to Loni Anderson, the voluptuous blonde best known for the CBS sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, from 1988-93. Both marriages were tempestuous.

Reynolds always uses to address the audience by saying :

“We’re only here for a little while, and you’ve got to have some fun right?” he told in one of the interview of  New York Times in spring of 2018.
