«Breaking News» Sally Field attends Burt Reynolds' private funeral in Florida

Sally Field was among the family and friends to attend Burt Reynolds' private funeral service in Florida on Wednesday.

The 71-year-old actress discreetly entered the Family Church in West Palm Beach through a side door for the funeral of her Smokey and the Bandit co-star and former flame, WPBF reports.

The movie legend's niece Nancy Lee Brown Hess was also spotted at the service, as well as a mourner wearing a B.L Stryker jacket - an American detective drama in which Reynolds starred in the lead role.

Mourners hugged each other tightly in the aisles of the church as the service got underway.

The eulogy was delivered by Todd Vittum - Reynolds' assistant and executive director of the Burt Reyolds Institute. 

Reynolds died aged 82 on September 6 after suffering a heart attack. 

Field's attendance at her ex-boyfriend's funeral comes after her new memoir, In Pieces, revealed several shocking details about their five-year relationship. 

She wrote that Reynolds was controlling, jealous and belittling during their stormy relationship and even hinted that he was physically abusive to her. 

The actress writes that when she tried to assert herself, her Smokey and the Bandit co-star 'tightened his grip, sometimes literally', though she does not elaborate further.

Field said that from the first time they met, Reynolds began to 'housebreak' her, telling her 'what was allowed and what was not'. He only liked to talk about himself and used to 'constantly snap as if I'd piddled on the floor', according to her new book.

Reynolds belittled Field's acting career and was so jealous that whenever they saw a man Field knew he would pinch her face, demanding to know who he was. 

The disturbing effect on Field was that she 'eliminated most of me, becoming a familiar, shadowy version of myself, locked behind my eyes, unable to speak', she writes.

Field has previously said that she is glad Reynolds was not alive to read her memoir.

She says in her memoir that her relationship with Reynolds was a replay of that with her stepfather, who sexually abused her from the when she was around six years old to 14.

Field describes how being with Reynolds was 'exorcising something that needed to be exorcised' but she was 'trying to make it work this time'.

The actress writes that from the beginning Reynolds was presumptuous and arrogant, introducing himself as 'Burt Reynolds, movie star' when he called her.

It was 1976 and he had asked her to star in Smokey and the Bandit; she had already found fame with films like Gidget and Stay Hungry, while Reynolds was the biggest star in the world at the time, thanks to films like Deliverance.

Field writes she did not understand why Reynolds wanted her in the film because she was not his typical leading lady and she thought that the 'script stinks'.

But his motives became clear when, to her surprise, he announced they were going on a date for their first meeting.

Field writes: 'By the time we met, the weight of his stardom had become a way for Burt to control everyone around him, and from the moment I walked through the door, it was a way to control me. We were a perfect match of flaws'.

Their affair was 'instantaneous and intense', Field writes.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
