Sally Field’s worst on-screen kiss might be a surprise

Legendary actress Sally Field, 76, recently shared a surprising behind-the-scenes moment: her worst on-screen kiss was with none other than her former boyfriend, Burt Reynolds.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Field hesitated but ultimately named Reynolds, her co-star in Smokey and the Bandit, saying, “It just was not something he really did for you,” adding that there was a lot of “drooling.” Field and Reynolds dated for five years after meeting in 1977, but she later revealed they hadn’t spoken in the last 30 years of his life.

In recent years, she’s appeared in Dispatches from Elsewhere and Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.
