In his memoir, Reynolds discussed his life in the spotlight.
“I always wanted to experience everything and go down swinging,” he wrote. “Well, so far, so good. I know I’m old, but I feel young. And there’s one thing they can never take away: Nobody had more fun than I did.”
Reynolds is survived by his son, Quinton Anderson Reynolds.
Reynolds, who underwent heart surgery in 2010, was filming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio. His film, Defining Moments, is set to release in December 2018.
Reynolds was born February 11, 1936 in Lansing, Michigan. His first taste of stardom came in the television series Gunsmoke and Dan August.
