Burt Reynolds became a part of American pop culture in the ‘60s beginning with his breakthrough roles in TV shows like Gunsmoke and Dan August before exploding on the big screen in the ’70s with such films as Deliverance, White Lightning, The Longest Yard, Smokey and the Bandit and Hooper. The multiple award-winning actor was so good-looking and was even once considered a sex symbol by viewers and fans.
Sadly, Burt died at the age of 82 in 2018 from a heart attack, however, he was said to have died happily by Oscar-winning writer and director Quentin Tarantino, who was working on a script with Burt before his passing. “The night he died, what he was doing before he passed on was he was running lines with his assistant,” Tarantino said. “He was so happy. I can honestly say he died happy.”
