Sally Field and Fred Flintstone's gambling problem

Today's rabbit hole began with YouTube recommending a video of Sally Field talking about how Burt Reynolds recruited her for Smokey and the Bandit.  This also necessitated reading Hal Needham's page.


The section on television censorship of the movie notes Henry Corden redubbed Jackie Gleason's lines because Alan Reed had died.  This made sense because they had voiced Fred Flintstone, and Fred is ofc is inspired by Ralph Kramden.

And unfortunately, every time I think of Fred Flintstone...
