He’s appeared in nearly 100 films and was Hollywood’s top box office star for years. Now Burt Reynolds plays an aging actor traveling to Nashville in “The Last Movie Star.” The actor tells TODAY’s Hoda Kotb that of the many women in his life, Sally Field comes first - and that in the story of his life, he would want George Clooney to play him.

Burt Reynolds had it all, good looks, personality, charisma, great screen presence, he was quite unique.

As bad as his health was, he still had his sense of humor and sharp mind.

For all the idiots who think he's washed up ... Burt came to Massachusetts to a convention last year. He was signing autographs I stood in a line that took 2 hours to reach him. He was gracious and exactly like I thought he'd be. He will always be "The Bandit" A legend in his own time

This man is a legend. He was my childhood hero bar none. Smokey and the Bandit made a huge and lasting impression on me when I was 7 in 1977. I hope this new film does him some justice and it’s not a thrown together borefest. He deserves better and hopefully he got it. Can’t wait to see it.

What a fun interview...and Burt was still witty and sharp close to the end of his life, may he rest in peace. Kind of choked me up when he said that Sally Field was the love of his life. Joe DiMaggio's was Marilyn ...and Burt's was Sally. Despite all that happens in a relationship, when it is that 'soul mate' kind of love, it never dies. God bless your soul Burt

I loved Burt's last film, 'The Last Movie Star'. His role is so close to heart and so real, one can't help getting choked up in the scene where he visits his ex wife in the nursing home. In my opinion, this is one of the finest roles he's ever played, and the most realistic. I knew him personally. He was a great human being. He was generous and kind. I'm proud to have worked with him on some local projects. I miss him.

fox on the run, Hollywood sends out screeners and vote cards, and it's supposed to be anonymous, so who really knows why he didn't win. But if that's the reason, shame on them for it! But it's no longer the 70s, and a lot of new people are involved now, so maybe they have evolved.
