Movie-Still Monday: Burt Reynolds

Burt Reynolds and Candice Bergen in Starting Over (1979). Reynolds gives a very human and sensitive performance as Phil Potter, a newly divorced man navigating life as a single adult dating and ultimately having to choose between his ex wife (Candice Bergen) and the new love in his life, Marilyn (Jill Clayburg). Watching Reynolds in Starting Over reminds us how his presence in film made “breathing easier.” He breathed beautifully fun life into cinema during the 70s and 80s. #RIP Burt!
