Wow. I did not know this.

He had a good life.

I hope he died happy.

Burt lived 3 miles from me in Jupiter. He put this town on the map. RIP Burt.

Not fantastic movies, but the Cannonball Run movies are fun to watch just knowing that Burt and the whole Hollywood who’s who cast had one big party for the entire shoot. 70s were a hoot!

Maybe not always the best parts or movies but he always seemed to be having a good time. I watched most good and bad ones just because Burt was in them.


RIP

The movie roles he turned down would have made a legend on their own, Bond, Star Wars, Indiana Jones.......

RIP
