"Burt Reynolds Dead: 'Deliverance,' 'Boogie Nights' Star Was 82"
I was not a huge Burt Reynolds fan, although growing up when I did meant that I couldn't avoid the Smokey and the Bandit wave, and I enjoyed Deliverance. Regardless, this is a good retrospective on his career, and has some really funny anecdotes from him. Definitely worth a read. RIP.
