<\/p>\nSally Field was not Burt Reynolds\u2019s true love.<\/p>\n
Reynolds officially referred to her as such in 2015, three years before his death. He expressed regret for not making their romance, which began on the set of 1977\u2019s Smokey and the Bandit, work, and raved about how much he missed her.<\/p>\n
The actress\u2019 perspective is markedly different.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was not someone I could be around,\u201d she said in a new interview. \u201cHe was simply not right for me in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Field, 75, claimed Reynolds, who died of a heart attack at 82, \u201csomehow invented in his rethinking of everything that I was more important to him than he had thought, but I wasn\u2019t. He desired what he did not possess. I did not want to deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Field\u2019s memoir, In Pieces, was released on September 18, 2018, 12 days after Reynolds\u2019 death, and it detailed their complicated relationship. She described him as dominating and abusive, and she went into detail about his drug use, stating he used Percodan, Valium, and barbiturates while working on Smokey and the Bandit.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo me, what mattered was for that moment in time, I did it. I did it. I landed it, and I thanked them for feeling it. A lot of people didn\u2019t have a clue what they were talking about. They didn\u2019t know what it was to be a performer and have your nose, ears, and legs out there to be ridiculed and criticized. They don\u2019t know what that feels like. They\u2019re not in the arena. They\u2019re handing out the deodorant in the stands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
