“I’ve heard Ryan can’t get over his thing for me, but Robert Redford is The One,” she admitted, insisting her enduring crush on Redford hasn’t diminished over the years.
In the new People cover story, Reynolds declared that he’s been a fan “for as long as I can remember.”
“I heard that scripts for ‘Golden Girls’ were only 35 pages, which makes sense because so many of the laughs come from Betty simply looking at her castmates,” said Reynolds, who joked that White is “a typical Capricorn. Sleeps all day. Out all night boozing and snacking on men.”
Bullock, who also co-starred with White in “The Proposal”, admitted she’s in awe of White’s “ridiculous” comedic timing.
