Farewell to Bo Bandit: Burt Reynolds dies aged 82

Hollywood lost a major star with the death of actor Burt Reynolds.

He was one of the film industry’s most bankable leading men, with box office hits such as Deliverance, The Longest Yard and Boogie Nights.

But he was perhaps best known as Bo “Bandit” Darville in the Smokey and the Bandit films.
