Somebody once approached Kirk Douglas and said they had enjoyed his performance in Ben-Hur (1959). So he said, `That wasn`t me, that was another fellow.` And the man said, `Well, if you aren`t Burt Lancaster, who the hell are you?`
Charlton Heston
[on Burt Reynolds] It`s the man`s tremendous wit that just keeps coming across. Listen, there is no acting style. Most people just play themselves. Spencer Tracy used to say to me after a scene, "Did I ham that one up?" If I said yes, he`d say, "Okay, let...
Myrna Loy
[Burt in McCall`s magazine]: You get to a certain age, where you know you can`t go over the wall, but I`ll never get to the age where I can`t go through it.
Burt Reynolds
[on Burt Lancaster] John Wayne was a great star. But he always played Wayne. Anything else he didn`t regard as manly. Now someone like Burt Lancaster is just the opposite. The living proof that you can be a sensitive actor and macho at the same time.

[Talking about Burt Reynolds]: "I have always said Burt`s sensitivity and generosity were in great measure responsible for my Academy Award nomination for Starting Over (1979)".

[Talking about Burt Reynolds]: "As well as being my, and the world`s favorite light comedian, Burt is a very considerate and thoughtful man".

Cary Grant
[talking about her Oscar nomination (her father Burt Lane, who managed her early career, passed away in February 2002] The only phone call I really yearn to make is one I can`t, which is to say, "Guess what, Dad?"
Diane Lane
[from a 1988 interview] I`ve never looked at acting as "Ahhh!" and "Gee!" I started in vaudeville when I was five and for me it was just walking on a stage and I`m gonna perform. Later on I was impressed by many things, like when I worked with Burt Lancas...
Billy Barty
[on Burt Reynolds] "I disagree with the thought process of people like him, who is a totally narcissistic person who epitomizes everything wrong with being a celebrity in Hollywood."
Marlon Brando
I first felt successful when I was 13 and in a show called Seesaw. I came offstage and heard the applause of the theater audience and felt a sense of accomplishment. Around that time my role model for success was Burt Lancaster. He was one of the first ac...
Giancarlo Esposito
[Talking about Burt Reynolds] He is the one the ladies like to dance with and their husbands like to drink with. He is the larger-than-life actor of our times. He is gifted, talented, naughty and nice.
Frank Sinatra
There was a time I could have been mistaken for Burt Reynolds. I had a mustache and so did he. But he was the number one star in the world, so there wasn`t really much confusion.
Tom Selleck
One of my first days was the scene in which Dirk Diggler wins the Golden Phallus Award. In the audience were a hundred extras who had been told to wear their finest 1970s clothes. All they knew was that this was a Burt Reynolds film. They`re sitting there...
William H. Macy
When I was starting to get noticed as an actor in the 1970s for something other than the third cowboy on the right who ended up dying in every movie or episode, Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in the world.
Bruce Dern

Tom Selleck
The only actor who I think probably might have possibly taken a swing at me if he could have would be Burt Reynolds. He used to call Roger and me the Bruise Brothers, out of Chicago.
Gene Siskel
I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.
Rosanna Arquette
I wanted this movie to feel as much as possible like a cousin of Smokey and the Bandit, and Burt Reynolds had that sort of rakish good looks. He did his own stunts, he considered himself sort of a ladies` man. I feel like Knoxville has a number of those q...
