The Real Feelings of Sally Field and Other Women Towards Burt Reynolds

Great Hollywood romances abound. In reality, though, not every marriage succeeds and lasts. There’s no doubt about it: Burt Reynolds and Sally Field’s relationship was convoluted but interesting. But Field wasn’t the only lady to speak out after Reynolds’s death, sharing her thoughts and feelings about the actor.

Someone who garners a lot of attention

Naturally, Reynolds was once a major Hollywood figure. Some of the blockbuster films he was in throughout the ’70s were Smokey and the Bandit and Deliverance. In fact, for his performance in Boogie Nights (1997,) he was nominated for an Academy Award. Men aspired to be like him, and women yearned to be with him, as the adage goes.
