While filming this scene in "The Best Little Wh0rehouse in Texas" (1982), in which Burt Reynolds carries Dolly Parton in his arms to the car, Reynolds groaned with pain each time he lifted Parton. With each take, his pain increased. A week after the filming ended, Reynolds had a double Hernia operation. Even though Reynolds had the condition prior, Parton who found out about it later, felt she was somewhat responsible for it. She jokingly wrote, "If anybody ever asks me if I broke Burt Reynolds’s heart, I have to say honestly that the damage was a little further south." Dolly Parton explaining it in her own words: "There was a scene at the end of the movie where Burt, as Sheriff Ed Earl, had to pick me up and carry me. They waited to shoot that scene last, and it was a good thing they did. The cameras rolled, Burt picked me up, and I could hear him groan. I was a real porker at the time, probably the heaviest I have ever been. Naturally, being the movies, they had to shoot a few times, and each time Burt groaned a little louder. The week after the shooting ended, Burt was checked into a hospital to undergo a double hernia operation, I am told he had been having problems prior to that, but I still couldn’t help feeling a little responsible. So if anybody ever asks me if I broke Burt Reynolds’s heart, I have to say honestly that the damage was a little further south. Forgive me, Burt. I hope they’re still working." ("Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business", Dolly Parton, 1994) P.S: On this day, 44 years ago, "The Best Little Wh0rehouse in Texas" (1982) was released in the USA.
