Iconic Actor Burt Reynolds Has Died at 82

Legendary actor Burt Reynolds died Thursday morning in Jupiter Medical in Florida while in intensive care for flu symptoms and dehydration. Burt Reynolds was 82 years old.

Burt was larger than life, and Hollywood’s top-grossing star every year from 1978 through 1982. Burt’s charm and southern style never seemed out of place. His biggest movies was the original ‘The Longest Yard,’ ‘Deliverance,’ and ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ with a resurgence in the later film ‘Boogie Nights.’

Burt Reynolds was married to actress Judy Carne for two years in the 60s, and WRKP in Cincinnati star Loni Anderson from 1988 to 1993. Burt is survived by one son. We’ve lost one of the greats, Burt Reynolds dead at the age of 82.
