I’m guessing Burt found comfort, while watching the Oscars from home, stroking his collection of toupees for comfort. Sally, in Norma Rae, is really one of my most favorite performances. Unfortunately, the movie seems to have been lost over the years.
In part because the real life epilogue of Norma Rae’s story being “The American textile industry, rather than deal with the gains union organizers achieved in the 1960s and 1970s, decided to move overseas where workers were cheaper and more compliant” is a bit too depressing.

Burt Reynolds was a sexist, egotistical asshole? I guess that checks out Someone should go back in time and warn Loni Anderson
Better warn Marc Summers, too. The Tonight Show tantrum Burt threw was bullshit
Hey Loni took care of him ,she spent all his money
