He is the kind of guy you would envision as a friend.

1940s star Dinah Shore was older, and very lucky to have the biggest sex star of the 70s for a while.

Of course she was older but he led her on. Also, she was big through the 50s. I remember her well.
 
His break up with Loni Anderson didn't go so well, either.
 
Are breakups supposed to go well when every woman in the country is lusting after you? He broke up with women every day.

On Johnny Carson, the girls yelled to him from the audience, and he said, "Aw, meet me in the parking lot." That got a laugh. Another time I saw him on TV, a cameraman followed him around. Some cute blonde spotted him and followed as he used vending machines, trying to get lucky.

Thanks Burt, for being a liberal, humorous sex star, not like the militaristic hard guy stuffy movie stars before and after you. You are a hero to us sexual revolutionaries of the 60s and 70s. And thank you, Helen Gurley Brown, for making him famous.

He made commitments to those two women. I guess it bothers me because I expect people to try to live up to their commitments.

I've never read that until now. Do you have evidence?

Also...you know that Hollywood marriages are almost always temporary, don't you?

Well they hardly fall under the definition of, a covenant between a man and a woman, before their God, an their people.
But then, perhaps that's just the difference between Hollywood and the places we live.

Your boat is your castle, but where most people live, people are always on the lookout for sex. I'm scanning my front yard right now through my binoculars.

Just my memory. I remember both of those breakups.

I believe the commitment to Loni came in the form a marriage certificate and the wedding vows. She also accused him of using drugs and being physically abusive. I've heard that physical abuse accusation before only with a relatively defenseless man.

Sally Field, on the other hand, loved him deeply as he did her.

There's at least a little good and at least a little bad in all of us. I just think it was more bad than good in Burt's case.

Edit: By the way, I really enjoyed him in the movie 'Malone'. He was also good in 'Stick' and "Sharky's Machine".

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

Loni Anderson was a normal Hollywood divorce over money, and he was bankrupted.

I'm surprised that you watch movies, if you hold actors to your religious rules. Do you judge the U.S. military by the same morality? You do know that they have continuous little missions in dozens of countries to kill people, don't you?

I can't even follow your train of thought. I think it's got a lot to do with how you think you've pegged me.

You say you're a liberal against the Iraq/Afghan wars, but you defend the need for the military to fight wars. It's easy to jump onto the bandwagon after it's too late...after your earlier moderate warmaking support eased the way for harder-core warmongers to lick some blood. Try opposing all war in advance.

I know...the veteran's health care system keeps you alive, and you aren't about to bite the hand which feeds you. I can understand that.

My ex-brother-in-law was Chief of Medicine at a veteran's hospital complex. (He ran it, although a younger MBA woman had the title of Administrator.) As soon as he retired, he committed suicide. His wife told his former coworkers that it was a natural death. It's like joining the Mafia. Like an addiction, once you join, you can't leave.
 
It's starting to look like I'm picking on you lately, so I better move my attention to one of the hundreds of others on the board. There's HoopsSmith, HoopsJones, CupSomething, and that poor tortured guy you guys dragged over here, who apologizes for everything he writes. I have a great memory for names, and total freedom to pick anyone on the board, all 5.

See, I never said that. You followed some sort of lengthy illogical thought that led to that false conclusion.

Since I've never said anything about those two wars how on Earth could you know how I feel about them?

As for the VA comment, yet again you have it wrong. Let's set that straight, I was all in favor of getting all disabled Veterans out of the health care system for about the first 20 years I was in it. At some point, I guess maybe two decades or so ago, it slowly evolved better and better until it now is better than I can get on the outside. My wife gets outside care so I've got something to compare with. I'm up at that hospital about four times a week and I've been using it off and on for nearly 50 years so I know quite a bit about what I'm talking about. My brother was also a full time patient at the VA beginning in the late 70s.

Geez, I wish you'd quit trying to peg me and begin asking me what my views are on subjects.
