Bronze bust unveiled at Burt Reynolds' Hollywood gravesite

A bronze bust of Burt Reynolds, featuring his famous cowboy hat and even more famous mustache, now adorns his grave

LOS ANGELES -- A plaque and a palm tree weren't enough to mark the swagger and star power of Burt Reynolds.

That's why a bronze bust, mustachioed of course, and sporting his “Smokey and the Bandit” cowboy hat, were unveiled on Monday, three years after his death.

“Anybody else want to touch him?” Loni Anderson, Reynolds' wife from 1988 to 1994, asked the small crowd that gathered around the sculpture after the unveiling at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

“Yes, he's made to be touched!” said Caroline P.M. Jones, the artist who made it.
