The Women of Burt: Dinah Shore




She was 20 years his senior, when Burt started making the rounds with D(!) on his arm in the early 1970s. Dinah Shore - her name would one day be associated with an annual golf tournament famous for being one of the biggest lesbian gatherings in the world... but for a scant time her name was "Burt's Woman."



Shore made her name as a popular singer in the 40's and 50's and later as a daytime television host. (During Shore's heyday as a singer, Reynolds was smoking expensive cigars and competing in large-scale round-robin arm-wrestling tournaments as a 9 year old boy).


The Women of Burt: Chris Evert



BORN: Ft. Lauderdale

WON: 18 Grand Slam titles

HAD: Burton Leon Reynolds













In typical Burt fashion, he made the ultra-hot Evert his own.
It's a never-ending process: he sees someone, he likes what they're selling, he makes them his own. When he's finished he moves on.
No crying, no drool - no explaination. It's called collateral damage, Billy!

BURT-ACTIVITY REPORTED!

DEAL
Starring Elizabeth Berkley and Burt Reynolds.

Film Junk says it best:
Let me get this straight… a poker movie starring Burt Reynolds as the grizzled card shark who takes a young hotshot under his wing and shows him the ropes? You had me at hello!

“It makes sense that the museum is in a bank… because Burt Reynolds is so money.”

I got an email from Sunir, Chief Handshaker over at FreshBooks. They made a fantastic video of their trip to the Burt Reynolds Institute and Museum in Jupiter, Florida - or as a Reynolds-phile would call it, Mecca.
Here's what happened:

Stryker Returns... on DVD.




There's been much debate around which B.L. Stryker season is the best. My vote is for the first season but I wouldn't say that in public - the season 2 fanatics can be violent when provoked.


Well, guess what baby? Season One is headed to DVD - thanks to a re-release by the Arts Alliance of America.



Check it out online here.



Did you know that season one features appearances by Ossie Davis, Rita Moreno, Abe Vigoda, Kristy Swanson, Michael Chiklas and Neil Patrick Harris?
Did you know it was produced by Tom Selleck?



Here's a gorgeous description of the show - just to get you going...



B.L. Stryker, a former New Orleans detective, returns to his native Florida and is thrust by circumstances into the life of private investigator. His lifestyle and principles clash with those of the rich and powerful in Palm Beach as he solves crimes in conjunction with the local police.

A bunch of fuuuuu*******ing amateurs!!





BURT-NEWS!



Burton Leon Reynolds is currently filming A Bunch of Amateurs - a clear and present reference to the great Big L (The Big Lebowski for long). IMDB.com describes it thusly: "A sleazy Hollywood agent tricks one of his clients, a faded action star, into playing King Lear in an amateur charity production in London."

The film also stars British acting legend Derek Jacobi.
