Always feel sorry for anyone of his star quality to loose everything.

[Ernie Kaputnik]

Bummer! I always liked Burt.

[Artemis Webb]

I feel sorry for Burt too. The guy was the #1 box office draw for years. I blame Bush.

[dfwgator]

That’s what going to FSU will get you.

[Will88]

I would have thought his Florida home was long since paid for. I believe he’s had it since his prime box office days. Hate to hear this news.

[Fledermaus]

He’s broke again? Geez, what a loser.

Back in the middle 1990’s I worked at a restaurant owned by Buddy Killen in Nashville.

He was such a great friend of Burt’s he practically went bankrupt (eventually did) giving him money to pull him out of another financial problem.

So it’s not clear Burt is a liberal since he thinks he never has to face the music.

[The Cajun]

........after he fell for cocktail waitress Pam Seals.

Well there's your problem.

[trumandogz]

Perhaps he should make another Smokey & the Bandit movie.

Instead of being chased in his Trans-Am across the South, by a sheriff, he could be chased in his wheelchair by an orderly across his nursing home.

[Lazlo in PA]

Burt needs cash? Time for another Bandit movie. Get Jerry Reed and Dom DeLuise. What Dom is dead? Oh well. Maybe another Gator movie.

[eyedigress]

Puhlease people. The man should have had that paid 20 years ago. WTH.

[trumandogz]

Poor Bert, he married Ernie and Ernie took him for all he was worth.

[Lady Lucky]

Burt Reynolds is 75?
I think I’m gonna be sick.

[wardaddy]

damn shame...I met Reynolds twice when I had the good fortune to be around Waylon Jennings a good bit in the mid 90s

not tall...wears lifts...but funny as hell and flirted like crazy with my Texas woman

very very approachable

he and Waylum were doing that CMT talk show thing out at the Opry studio that season

going broke with no time to recover sucks...my greatest fear

very few pull a rabbit out of the hat...US Grant did at the last moment...for his family anyhow..got lucky

[Slicksadick]

So the banks actually do take houses back, when the equity supports it. He should have wrapped the second into a bigger first, then he’d still be there.

[Avery Iota Kracker]

It’s the Curse of Elmore Leonard. For what he did to a good novel, “Stick.”

[Political Junkie Too]

Burt Reynolds can become our Terry-Thomas.

[rolling_stone]

What happened to his Gunsmoke residuals? The guy who drew down on Dillon and got shot in the opening scene was raking in over 20g’s a year back then...easy come easy go..

[chicken head]

[thefactor]

This man has been a working Hollywood actor for over 50 years. No sympathy. He put all his money up his nose.

[Sea Parrot]

I have never understood how some of these people could rake in millions of $ over many years, then wind up broke?
