Il divo hollywoodiano Burt Reynolds, oggi, 11 febbraio, compie 80 anni. L'attore statunitense è stato anche regista e produttore anche se il suo sogno di bambino era di giocare a football, carriera che fu però interrotta da un incidente.
Nel piccolo schermo debuttò tra la fine degli anni Cinquanta e l'inizio degli anni Sessanta. Recitò anche nel western all'italiana diretto da Sergio Corbucci, Navajo Joe (1966), che Reynolds considererà sempre come la pellicola più brutta alla quale abbia mai preso parte.
80 anni di vita ed oltre 40 anni di carriera
Tra il 1961 e il 2008, l'attore ha preso parte a più di settanta pellicole. Il grande successo arrivò nel 1972 grazie a "Un Tranquillo Weekend di Paura" al fianco di Jon Voight. Reynolds si è sempre distinto anche per il suo fascino e un'intensa vita sentimentale: ha avuto innumerevoli flirt con donne bellissime e si è sposato due volte, la prima con la collega Judy Carne dal 1963 al 1965 e la seconda con Loni Anderson dal 1988 al 1995.
