Yet by the mid-'80s, his Hollywood star faded after years of him choosing projects that fit him poorly. He enjoyed a 1990s resurgence: returning to his 1960s training ground of TV and being more discerning in the films and roles he chose. That comeback culminated in 1997 with an Academy Award nomination for a film he turned down eight times before saying \"yes.\" The Burt Reynolds Films is a film-by-film study of his career, celebrating the triumphs while contextualizing the trials. It chronicles one of the truly fascinating screen careers of any noted star and reveals a man who never lost his drive nor his sense of humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGARY SCHNEEBERGER is \u003cem\u003ethe co-author of The Films of Bruce Willis, From Connery to Craig: The James Bond Film Series, and Frank Sinatra on the Big Screen: The Singer as Actor and Filmmaker.
