Decatur, Illinois, 1972. Seven-year-old tomboy Victoria Bolt sneaks among the tables at her mother’s Bunco game, where housewives are tittering over a magazine spread. Though Victoria couldn’t have imagined what was on those pages that day, Smokey and the Bandit-era Burt Reynolds would soon change the course of her life for good.
In Bandit Dreams & Beyond, former stuntwoman Bolt shares how she escaped a volatile and violent home life to make movies with her childhood crush, Burt Reynolds, in 1980s and ’90s Hollywood. There are long-haul truckers, narrowly missed punches, family dysfunction and unconditional love, and appearances by BR himself. This is a Middle American fairy tale set to John Cougar Mellencamp in a smoke-filled bar. This is a shoutout to listeners who grew up on the champagne wishes and caviar dreams of the '80s. This is an action-adventure love story, filled with laughter and heartache—and yes, the memoirist does all her own stunts.
A story reminiscent of The Glass Castle and The Tender Bar, Bandit Dreams & Beyond has nerve to spare and a whole lot of heart.
