Part 7/8:
After parting ways with Burt, Sally Field married producer Alan Greisman, with whom she had a son. Conversely, Reynolds married actress Loni Anderson in 1988, a relationship that ultimately disintegrated under the weight of its own scandals.
Despite their separations, both Sally and Burt recognized the significance of their relationship, with Reynolds later calling it his greatest disappointment. Field reflected on her time with Burt as a transformative period, although she was grateful that he would never read her memoir In Pieces, published shortly after his death in 2018. The memoir contained painful yet necessary truths about their relationship.
