Reynolds, famously known for his role as the charismatic “Bandit” in Smokey and the Bandit (1977), was at the peak of his career as Principal was becoming a household name on Dallas, which premiered in 1978.
Principal’s portrayal of “Pamela Barnes Ewing” helped anchor the show’s complex family dynamics, making her a familiar face to millions. At the same time, Reynolds was redefining what it meant to be a leading man, blending his rugged charm with comedic timing.
Before Dallas, Principal’s career was still taking shape. She appeared in smaller projects and even considered law school to become a studio executive. An important turning point came when producer Aaron Spelling cast Principal in the pilot of Fantasy Island (1977), which helped pave the way for her breakthrough role on Dallas the following year.
“Both so charismatic. What a great picture,” read one comment.
Someone else recalled, “I was a definite fan of Burt Reynolds. He had a great sense of humor. A friend of mine met him when she was a little girl. She showed a photo of the two of them. She spoke of how kind he was to her.”
“You were a little nervous in that show. I remember liking your hair that way. I hope he was very gracious in you meeting. There was so much ahead of you, and there is even more now,” another added, who remembered the time the two crossed paths.
