Ruby looks like a smitten school girl, about to be fondled by the Uncle everyone's warned her about ;-) Burt's very funny, and quite realistic about some of the not so great life & film choices that he's made. Enjoy!
I bet Ruby thought she would just mock him and be a comedic hero to all her friends and then something unexpected happened. She fell in like with him and lost her edge when she realized he was charming and funny and human.
To be fair, this is the basic format for pretty much most of these interviews with Ruby, she's sharp & acerbic with all of her victims, sometimes it goes well & sometimes it doesn't, this just went really well but could've gone either way.
You gotta admit Ruby was totally on an equal level here he had her in stitches! Hes a funny guy and clearly doesnt take himself seriously anymore and likes a giggle and knew what ruby was all about and he seemed to have a really great time i lived this!
This shit was funny as hell. I live in Florida and drive by there every year on my way to Orlando. I can't believe I've never visited the museum and ranch. This was when he still owned the ranch before 2017 and part of the property. The bank sadly kept his mom's gravesite when he went bankrupt. He only wanted to be next to his mother. I wonder what his son did with his ashes. R.i.p Bud.
Omg u should listen to brando trashing burt. Its bc burt as a young guy did a great lampooning of brando & his method acting & being a pain in the ass . Marlon hates him since. The impersonation was the best I've seen plus burt looked so much like a young brando.
He imitated Brando in a Twilight Zone episode called the Bard where Burt plays a hammy method actor who asks William Shakespeare "what's his motivation "? It's hilarious. I'm sure Brando deserved it.
That was great! Thanks so much for these Chillmax. You have a other subscriber. Great play list! 90's! Burt was really funny, he did actually manage to outdo Ruby in the end, so charismatic.
what a gem!!!!!!!! Can't believe how good of a sport he is in this video.this is hilarious! There was a time in his life he was really full of himself. During this time period Burt was getting his life back together.
I read both his autobiographies - great reads. Thanks for posting this because I got a chance to SEE the gift shop, the ranch, the chapel, the grounds, etc.
This was the best I always was a Burt Reynolds fan but this just made me a bigger fan he was so funny you where so lucky to spin that time with Burt I would I loved to spent the day with him on his ranch I would have train his horses for him for free just to be able to have listen to his bull sh- - all day long...lol I have to watch it again.
Watch his interviews on the Johnny Carson show. Hilarious! Great pie fights! He did one with Steve Martin, when Steve was Carson’s guest host. On that show, he shaved off half of his mustache, because some of the audience wanted him to keep it and some wanted him to shave it off. Too funny. Check it out, it’s on RU-vid.
man Burt missed his calling, his comic timing has always been great. If he did Terms of Endearment it would have changed his career. So sad he is the butt of so many homes, guy was top of the pile for a long time.
Everyone says that and burt would have been great in the role but at that time he was one of the biggest stars in the world so how much would that role have really changed his life? The only thing diff would be that we'd now be saying he'd been in 2 great films. Other than that he'd have had the same career.
Tommy Petersen He also turned down One flew over a Cuckoos Nest,James Bond,Star Wars but Smokey and the Bandit did better, Marlon Brando didn’t want him in The Godfather. But we can’t go back it happens to all of us!
@@nobodysfool8200 The screenplay of Terms of Endearment was written by the same person who wrote Starting Over. Burt should've been nominated for his role, as were both his co-stars, in Starting Over. The part in Terms was written specifically with him in mind. It was a perfect role for him, obviously, and it would've brought him back a lot of credibility in the industry as being a "serious" actor once again. That's why everyone says it would've changed his career. Burt always wanted to be thought of and accepted as a "serious" actor. At "that time" in his career, it would've indeed changed everything. More parts like that would certainly have followed. He needed a well received "serious" part "at that time" in his career. Turning it down was an enormous mistake on his part (along w/ multiple other wrong choices he made career wise as well as personal). However, he did not turn down CooCoos Nest. He wanted that part badly, but it was given to Jack instead. But all the others he turned down are correct. You can add a part in the Mash series to the list as well. Unreal. And can you imagine him as James Bond?! He would've been fabulous!
@@hazeleyes1951 Al Pacino was a far better Don Corloene than Burt would have been and after adjusting ticket prices for inflatiion at the box office, Star Wars was the second biggest hit movie behind Gone with the wind.
Loni Anderson looks like my first wife. BUT, I didn't think ANYONE could piss away money like her - that is, until I heard some of Burt's stories. Burt's sense of humor was the BEST. Too bad his financial acumen wasn't as good as his humor - if it was, he would have been rich beyond measure. RIP Burton
@jhassett2 - Glad you liked it! Oooh, Bill Cosby, I have no recollection of that one at all, I must have missed it, sorry, but I've plenty more Ruby on the way ;-)
My father lived in Jupiter and one of his friends was friends with Burt Reynolds and told him stories about how Burt screwed over many business In Jupiter. He was sued by his toupee maker and wouldn’t pay. In the area he was notorious for paying cleaning ladies nothing and he would underpay them. He also would underpay or not pay lawn services. Classy dude. Loni would also go to smaller boutiques and start a credit and not pay.
@CyndiLauperArchive - Thanks for the nice comment, and you're most welcome! I know exactly the show you're talking about, it shows her tip toeing into her parents apartment, and her Mum complaining about her getting sand all over the carpet, very funny. I would have recorded it, it's just whether I still have it, and if I do has it survived - keep watching ;-) One just uploading now, will be finished in about an hour!
god I love how ruby always puts these huge celebrity egos in check. masterfully reminding these people they are not gods, but people who are overpaid to play make-believe.
Agreed...what was he thinking?! She was all fluff and no substance. I just can't ever understand the appeal for him with her, for longer than 15 minutes. Dinah Shore and Sally Field were women of "substance". On a day to day basis, what did Loni do for him? A complete mismatch. And as it turned out, a nasty, greedy bitch to boot! Burt deserved better.
SOUND DIP - As they walk down the aisle, just for 10 seconds, the sound dips as Elvis was playing & it got a copyright strike, so I muted it - Annoying & Stupid!!!!!
"so i built a chapel to get married in"... huh? and a burt reynolds museum? and ripping into lonnie like that? you gotta love ruby the way she got these people to open up.
for all of burt reynolds' passé persona, he did have a quick wit and was underrated as a funny man, watching ruby and burt trade quips is quite fun, a good example is 17:23 where ruby asks burt if he "ever saw (lonnie anderson) without makeup"... his answer is brilliant, he compliments lonnie's natural beauty then adds most women don't need all that makeup, something that's part of ruby's own over-the-top persona. score and zing... that's how you work it guys, take notes.
She sums it up at the start. 'Because we offered him money and he took it.'. He and other people like him know the format of these shows is to mock the interviewee for cheap laughs. Similar to Oliver Reed on The Word. Burt was a veteran of comedic acting so it was no problem for him to deal with Wax and her crap attempts at put downs, and almost literally charm the knickers off her, whilst getting paid for it.
You may or may not be right about other shows, although Ruby didn't really do anything quite like anyone else at the time. However, you are incorrect about what you think Ruby is trying to do, if you go & watch any of the other episodes in the series, I have a few listed, she definitely never tries to 'mock' her guests, she mainly attempts to befriend them & then have a laugh to see what they'll disclose. I'm not for a moment claiming that media types can't be devious, but Ruby stood alone, she actually started in front of the camera, so she was already less threatening to anyone who knew here, Carrie Fisher for instance. In defence of Rubes, not everyone's the same, so you can laugh at this without feeling like you're feeding the beast!
I just saw a clip of Brando making fun of Burt on the set of Apocalypse Now and calling him a narcissist and bad actor so I get why Reynolds was getting some payback here making fun of Brando.
