Field caved: “Okay. This is going to be a shocker. Hold on folks.”
The Oscar-winning actress named her former boyfriend–star Burt Reynolds–as the culprit.
Cohen quickly followed up, asking, “But weren’t you dating at the time?”
Field explained that it was during filming for “Smokey and the Bandit” that she had to “look the other way” during filming. She said this was because this “just was not something he really did for you.”
“Isn’t that something,” Cohen responded in surprise.
The actress went on to explain that there was a lot of “drooling” on Reynolds’ part during their time sharing the screen.
The two co-stars met in 1977 while filming “Smokey and the Bandit,” and they went on to date for about five years.
Reynolds, who sadly died of cardiac arrest at 82, reportedly talked about his relationship with Field in his memoir But Enough About Me, according to the New York Post.
