FORMER BOX OFFICE STAR
RESTING AFTER SURGERY
March 04, 2010
(FLORIDA) -- Burt Reynolds, the # 1 movie box office star in the world in the 1970s, is recovering from heart surgery. Reynolds is 74.
"Mr. Reynolds has been released from a hospital in Florida in which he had a planned bypass operation," his manager, Erik Kritzer, said. "He wants to thank everyone for their good wishes and states that he has a great motor with brand new pipes and he is feeling great. Doctors plan on a speedy recovery.”
Kritzer denied reports that the 74-year-old actor — who received an Oscar nomination for 1997's Boogie Nights — had been rushed to the hospital. He said Reynolds "had this operation scheduled for over a month."
Reynolds, a Hollywood staple actor for some 45 years with a long TV and film career, will next be seen in the independent film “Not Another Not Another Movie.”
