Hollywood Remembers Burt Reynolds: ‚The Bandit Stole Our Hearts‘
Former governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of the first to tweet his remembrance of the star. «Burt Reynolds was one of my heroes. He was a trailblazer. He showed the way to transition from being an athlete to being the highest paid actor, and he always inspired me. He also had a great sense of humor – check out his Tonight Show clips. My thoughts are with his family,» he said.

Burt Reynolds Dies at 82; Made Hearts Throb and Audiences Laugh
A self-mocking charmer with laugh-crinkled dark eyes, a rakish mustache and a hairy chest that he often bared onscreen, Mr. Reynolds did not always win the respect of critics. But for many years he was ranked among the top 10 movie draws worldwide, and from 1978 through 1982 he ruled the box office as few, if any, stars had done before.

Burt Reynolds obituary
No Hollywood star has exposed his emotions, his love life, career and ambitions, or his body, quite as openly as did the actor-director Burt Reynolds, who has died aged 82. He acted in scores of films, directing many of them, and produced and appeared in hundreds of television movies and series. Many were eminently forgettable, though a role in Boogie Nights (1997) won him a best supporting actor Oscar nomination. But it was his extravagant and explosive lifestyle, aspects of which affected his career, that often made the headlines.

Jürg Zbinden
«Burt Reynolds war einer meiner Helden», schrieb Arnold Schwarzenegger auf Twitter. «Er gab den Weg vor für den Übergang vom Athleten zum bestbezahlten Schauspieler, und er hat mich immer inspiriert.» Reynolds war vor seiner Schauspielkarriere als Footballspieler aktiv gewesen. Tennislegende Boris Becker würdigte Reynolds als «eine der letzten Ikonen in Hollywood».
