Although sad in some ways, I prefer to think of Burt Reynold’s passing as an end to his pain which appeared to be considerable. Thanks for posting @jym626 , as I’d not heard about this.

I remember a friend and I having great difficulty getting a copy of the magazine with the famous photo. One (very small town) drug store owner threatened to call our mothers and another just flat refused to sell it to anyone under 18. Given what seems to have been a preference for hairless men in recent years, it may be hard for some to believe what an appealing man Burt was considered to be in the '70s.
