All Star Party for Burt Reynolds

On December 13th, 1981, Burt Reynolds All Star Party aired as a Special Presentation on CBS. 

Celebrating 25 years in acting. 

All the ladies sang to him and all the men told carefully curated gags about his low key, high profile serial womanizing. 

The most fascinating part is the amazing star power you can see in the background audience.
