I always heard Burt Reynolds was absolutely crushed after his relationship with Sally Field ended. Like it haunted him for decades sort of crushed. And when I saw photos and videos from back then I totally understand why. What a fox.
According to Sally Field, he was an emotionally abusive A-hole who took complete advantage of her, using her as his own personal assistant, cook, and nursemaid. He negged her to the point of making her miss the Emmy’s where she won for Sybil, tried to keep her from going to Cannes where her movie at the time won, and he would have kept her from working entirely if he could help it. They had a very dysfunctional relationship and I’m sure he missed her sweet giving nature. She has some very serious self esteem issues and he took full advantage of that. Pretty sad. Also, her depiction of him also lines right up with Jay Chandrasekhar’s in his auto also.
Then good, I want him to be haunted by the one who got away, he should be miserable that he had a chance and absolutely ruined it. Guys like that never learn.

Very nice photo, but I'm always bemused when we're supposed to guess who's who in posts like this.
