Burt Reynolds gave us this gift before he died in 2018.

There’s a whole lot of human truth in both of these films.

“Lucky” (starring Harry Dean Stanton) and “The Last Movie Star” (starring Burt Reynolds) were both released in 2017 and share the similar subject matter of aging actors in a genuine comedic fashion. Each film features a legendary film actor and pay them homage with a departing role. 

These films are perfect for when you are not expecting more than entertainment featuring actors who have made some great films during their years. These two legendary actors show that they do not take themselves too seriously and are willing to let their hair down and have fun in down-to-earth ways.

“The Last Movie Star” is largely a fictional script. In the film Reynold’s claims he was Jewish and changed his name for Hollywood as many actors did back in the day, yet in real-life Reynolds is not Jewish. However, as with any good fiction, it has an honest undertone that is heart touching.

“Lucky” feels more like a documentary, although as with “The Last Movie Star” it is largely the realm of make believe with some real moments sprinkled throughout. We all grow old if you do not die first and so these two films allow the viewer to reflect on life through the vehicle of two seasoned actors. 

Entertainers are one thing, sure they provide a little bread and circus, but mystics are on another level altogether. In my humble opinion, the best film actors are spiritual seekers who bridge their roles with the astral plane, borrowing from the communal moments of our shared collective existence, while simultaneously allowing ghosts to personify within the millable clay of their human frame.

There’s a whole lot of truth in both of these films; it’s a truth that speaks to the soul and lives in everyone who still holds the warmth of a human heart.

Fame is nothing, it’s part of the illusion, and real moments shared with other real living beings are all that remain after the phony distractions are gone.

These are scenes around The Hollywood Forever Cemetery before Burt Reynolds monument dedication. I think the peacocks are marvelous and from what I understand there are many around the cemetery. I the beauty of a VIP event are the simple perks. The Hollywood Forever staff were more than accommodating. We were whisked to and from site or before and after with their wonderful golf carts. It’s a big cemetery and it was greatly appreciated. My girlfriend Gabriella and I would go to Hollywood Forever in the 80s to pay homage to Rudolph Valentino visiting him in Cathedral Mausoleum, Corridor A- Crypt #1205. (I got this from Google) I’ve had a long history with the Hollywood Forever so this is like returning to my LA roots of sorts. The last photos are of the people attending the 'I Am Burt Reynolds' Premiere and Monument Unveiling. There were a lot of friendly faces I haven’t seen in a while and I was delighted to see them all. @burt_reynolds_fan_club @hwdforever #burtreynolds #thelastmoviestar #lonianderson #art #peacocks #cemeteryphotography #cemeterywandering #bronzebust #lonianderson (at Hollywood Forever Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUJxxBKLjoF/?utm_medium=tumblr

. #TheLastMovieStar #2017 . بكل بساطة أقدر أقول بأن هذا الفلم يمثل الكابوس الذي أعيشه بشكل يومي، وهو كابوس وهاجس النسيان... . فيلم باعتقادي الشخصي يُدوس . An aging former movie star is forced to face the reality that his glory days are behind him. On its surface, the film is a tale about faded fame. At its core, it's a universal story about growing old. . #توصيات #فلم_يستحق_المشاهدة #أفلام #سينما #دراما #قصة_حب #قصة #مسلسل . #Entertainment #⁠⁠⁠Biography #drama #romance #movies #movie #Cinema #Theater #moviereview #review #moviereviewer #reviews #recommendation #IMDb (at Kuwait)

The Last Movie Star premieres today

The Last Movie Star, the new movie from Adam Rifkin, is out today.

Burt Reynolds stars as an aging screen icon who gets lured into accepting an award at a rinky-dink film festival in Nashville, launching him on both a hilarious fish-out-of-water adventure and an unexpectedly poignant journey into his past.

Ethan Hawke Spills the Tea on The Last Movie Stars

I met Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward once and the experience was truly one I shall never forget of being in the presence of the #thelastmoviestars @hbomax

I remember the one and only time I met Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.  As most Broadway performers do after a show myself, Tony winner Lillias White and some cast members hopped over to Barrymore’s (a now defunct favorite Broadway hang) to chop it up.  As we loudly got our giggle on, I could see Ms. Woodward walking toward us.  They finally made their way to our table and she introduces herself…

Here’s my shot of Loni Anderson and her and Burt’s son Quinton Reynolds at The Hollywood Forever cemetery for the 'I Am Burt Reynolds' Premiere and Monument Unveiling.
