Burt Reynolds, great sense of humor, cool, and was Quint on Gunsmoke for a couple of years in the mid 60's before a year or two as Dan August, A Quinn Martin Production. My first car, black 1977 Trans Am, got it in November 1976 for my 16th birthday, 7 months before Smokey and The Bandit came out. RIP.

This was just a few months before Deliverance which made him a star followed later by Smokey and the Bandit which made him a superstar. To me Deliverance was Burt Reynold's finest hour.

Pretty much everything from this point through the first Smokey is considered a classic , except for the Bogdonavitch musical he did, which was a mess.

It was possible to continue with both Arlene Francis and John Charles Daly until 1975. Both were still in excellent health in 1975 to continue working with the show. It wasn't possible to continue Dorothy Killgallen on the panel after her death in 1965 and Bennett Cerf continuing on the panel after his death in 1971 but I wish the show in colour after 1967 could have continued with John Charles Daly hosting until 1975.

I have just been reading Judy Carne’s book, “Laughing on the Outside, Crying on the Inside: the Bittersweet Saga of the Sock it to me Girl.” She describes how she and Burt Reynolds fell in love, married, but eventually divorced, 1963-5. She found him too controlling. He married again, Loni Anderson, 1988-94. He also had a five-year affair with Sally Field, who dropped him when she decided it wouldn’t last. A great actor and attractive guy, but couldn’t settle into a long term relationship.

But on another short-lived game show hosted by Tom Kennedy, Burt was inadvertently kidded about a 'reservation' when asked a question. Although it was an April Fool's response, Burt actually charged at Tom...

I was raised and born in Louisville Kentucky and the Delta queen was right up the river in Cincinnati. Used to come down and race the bill of Louisville every derby week. It was a big deal.

I don’t live there anymore I don’t know why they changed the race between the bell and the Delta.
