Gator McKlusky returns to pay tribute to the long historic career of the late, great Burt Reynolds. This seventh chapter covers his sharp decline as the number one box office star in the world and Burt's most shocking career defining choices. We begin by focusing on the early and wonderful love shared between Burt and Loni Anderson, followed by a close look into the film they did together, "Stroker Ace" that may have been a turning point in Burt's career, and not for the better. Next, Burt's investment in the U.S.F.L. Tampa Bay Bandits football team shows his commitment and love to the sport that meant so much to him. Following that, we look at "Smokey and the Bandit Part 3"... Yes, we all know Burt chose not to do that film, but there is an interesting story there to tell regardless... Finally, a film that had great potential, "The Man Who Loved Women", has Burt back in that romantic role, but this time with the great Director Blake Edwards and his brilliant wife Julie Andrews. How could that go wrong? We take a close look to see... Stay tuned for more! Cheers! Gator
