Legendary actress Sally Field, 76, recently shared details about her worst on-screen kiss during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. After some hesitation, she revealed it was with her former boyfriend and Smokey and the Bandit co-star, Burt Reynolds.
Though they were dating at the time, Field said the kissing scenes were challenging. She explained, “It just was not something he really did for you,” and humorously recalled “a lot of drooling” during their scenes together.
Field and Reynolds met on set in 1977 and dated for five years. Despite the awkward moments on screen, their relationship remains a memorable part of both their careers and personal lives.
