Sally Field, who starred alongside Reynolds in the classic Smokey and the Bandit, is about to publish her memoir, In Pieces, and in the book, she discusses the production of the movie as well as her subsequent personal relationship with the actor.
Fans were saddened to learn of the death of Burt Reynolds last week, but for one of his former co-stars, there is an unfortunate silver lining.
It seems that things were far from perfect between the two and Field is now glad that Reynolds will never know what she says about him in the book, as she wouldn’t have wanted to put him in the position of having to defend himself in the press.
