Let’s be Kathleen Turner hearing about the death of Burt Reynolds

Bye, Felicia.

His death is OVERRATED!

Finally, a thread for the Vivian Vance fans.

🙉 Let's not, and say we did.

So much better than winning an Oscar.

Sorry - over my head. All the Kathleen references on the dead Burt threads and I have no idea about what you’re all referring.

R6, they worked together on Switching Channels and actively despised each other.

Kathleen wanted to switch co-stars on Switching Channels. From a recent interview:

Kathleen Turner found it “terrible” working with Burt Reynolds. The 64-year-old actress worked with the legendary actor in the 1988 comedy movie Switching Channels but has said that getting the chance to work with the star wasn’t as fun as some might think it would be, as he allegedly made her “cry” during her first day on set after making sexist remarks about “not taking second place to a woman”.

She said: “Working with Burt Reynolds was terrible. The first day Burt came in he made me cry. He said something about not taking second place to a woman. His behaviour was shocking. “It never occurred to me that I wasn’t someone’s equal. I left the room sobbing. I called my husband and said, ‘I don’t know what to do.’ He said, ‘You just do the job.’ It got to be very hostile because the crew began taking sides. But as for the performance, I was able to put the negativity aside. I’m not convinced Burt was.”

Kathleen’s comments come after Burt himself called the actress ‘overrated’ in a recent interview. The 82-year-old actor admitted he never “got along” with his co-star and regrets the movie they made together, and he also slammed the 63-year-old’s acting ability.

Asked on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen who was the “most overrated actor in the ’70s and ’80s”, he immediately replied, “Kathleen Turner”. When a viewer called the show to ask which one project he would remove from his back catalogue if he could, he said: “It would be [Switching Channels], the one I did with Kathleen Turner. The picture wasn’t good. And I didn’t get along with her.”

Thanks R7 & R8

So what bug was up Burt’s ass?

Looking back over the career, this moment with Jerry Reed stands out
