It’s hard to really imagine if you weren’t there to witness it, but there was no one bigger in 1970s America than the late Burt Reynolds. His movies were always money-gobblers: "The Longest Yard," "Smokey and the Bandit," "Hooper." Even "Starting Over," the 1979 comedy where he ditches Candice Bergen for Jill Clayburgh, made bank. Before his Oscar-nominated turn in 1997’s "Boogie Nights," his films were rarely serious.But as evidenced by his iconic laugh, he liked to have fun and liked to make movies that were, first and foremost, fun.
