Why Burt Reynolds Was the Most Despised Man in Hollywood
In the 1970s, Burt Reynolds was an undisputed megastar worldwide for his quick wit and charming persona, adored by many. However, this wasn’t the case among SAG-AFTRA members. Reynolds managed to rise through the ranks of Hollywood despite alienating some in the industry. For those with grudges against him, this success must have felt like a bitter pill. Reynolds’ fame came at a cost, both professionally and personally, but it did come with the perk of an awesome car. This is a prime example of how public image and personal relationships can differ greatly.
