    I'll never be convinced that Sally Field was the love of Burt's life. Dinah Shore in my opinion was the love of Burt's life. A man and woman don't keep in contact with each other once a week after parting ways. They were in contact until Dinah's death. Dinah was the cream of the crop in Tinseltown. They both were down to earth, kind and loving people. Dinah showed Burt how things worked in Hollywood.❤❤
