Sandy Duncan is looking back on a hilarious run-in with screen legend Burt Reynolds.
Duncan, 80, became a legend of the stage with her role in Peter Pan and later became a TV staple thanks to a role on The Hogan Family. With endless film roles under her belt, Duncan is known as one of Hollywood's most adaptable stars. And as it turns out, she can even tackle one of the most famous children's television characters.
During an appearance on Nostalgia Tonight with Joe Sibilia, Duncan spoke about her role on the Barney & the Backyard Gang videos, which came out in 1988, before the series headed to PBS and became an international phenomenon. Looking for work during the writer's strike, the opportunity gave her a chance to spend time with her family.
"When I got there and saw what it was, I went, 'Oh my God, what have I done?' " said Duncan, PEOPLE reported. "We filmed it, and it was very much a [children 's] show. It ended because I had to go back to work and they had shot their pilot, which I did three episodes. And they came out to have a meeting with me and they said, they all had Texas accents, and they said, 'Sandy, now we're going to do a series of it and we're going to put it on, if you do it, they'll put it on PBS... we're going to have plush toys and do all this.' "
Duncan, of course, moved on, but the show evolved into Barney & Friends, which became a staple of the '90s.

What Did Burt Reynolds Say to Sandy Duncan?
Barney went down in American history as a notorious children's character. However, not everyone was a huge fan.
"Burt Reynolds, I can't say [where] exactly, but we were at a big gathering, one of those events, and somebody behind my back creeped up and whispered in my ear, 'I wanted to kill you,' because he had a toddler, and he said, 'All we have on television is you and Barney,'" Duncan recalled.
