Funny Burt Reynolds story [View all]

Not the main story but he and ESPN's Lee Corso were roommates at Florida State.
As you can imagine, Corso said being his roommate was fun.

I heard this story told once by either Burt or Clint Eastwood.
Both got called into a studio execs office. They were contract players at the time.

Exec:" You're both fired."
One of them asked why "You (to Eastwood) aren't good looking and you (Burt) can't act"

Think about the money that walked out the door that day.

He also turned down Nicholson's role in "Terms of Endearment"
