Broke actor Burt Reynolds auctioning off personal belongings to make ends meet.
The Golden Globe he won for Boogie Nights and his red jacket from Smokey and the Bandit are among keepsakes up for auction next month.
Burt Reynolds is selling more than 600 items from his Hollywood career to stave off financial ruin. The Golden Globe he won for Boogie Nights and his red jacket from Smokey and the Bandit are among keepsakes up for auction next month.
The actor – one of ¬movieland’s highest-paid stars in the 1970s – declared bankruptcy with debts of £6million in the 1990s.
He has struggled to sell the £2million Florida mansion he bought with ex-wife Loni Anderson and owes more than £800,000 on its mortgage.
The house, overlooking Jupiter Island, comes with its own dock, private cinema complex and a hair salon. Reynolds wrote in a forward to the auction catalogue: "I've collected so many things that I truly adore but at this stage in my life I find it very difficult to manage them all.
"The fact of the matter is that it truly is the time to downsize and for these items that I have loved over the years find new homes where they can be cared for and appreciated."
Other items on sale at the auction at the Palm Casino Hotel in Las Vegas include a football helmet from "The Longest Yard" and a pair of monogrammed boots from the 1996 movie "Striptease".
Reynolds, 78, also plans to publish his memoirs next year where he will lift the lid on his love life, including rumoured affairs with Dolly Parton and other Hollywood A-list stars.
Reynolds checked into a rehab clinic in 2009 and underwent quintuple heart bypass surgery in 2010.Jacked from The Mirror

This muthafucka looks like he should be in Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. DAYUM! He was a real man-whore back in the day. Sally Field loved his womanizing ass and he treated her like shit. Then after he split with Loni Anderson, he tried to get her back after all those years. So glad Sally told his mummified ass to fuck off.
