The beginning of multiple collaborative efforts between Muldaur and Burt Reynolds began when they met while guest-starring on the third season The F.B.I. together. Muldaur made memorable guest performances on Hawk (1966) and Dan August (1971), both weekly shows with Burt Reynolds in the lead role. Muldaur’s first big break came in Harold Robbins’ The Survivors when she landed the role of Belle in the high-profile new ABC primetime serial (1969). Unfortunately, the soap was canceled early into the 1970 television season after just 15 episodes. Muldaur continued performances in television movies, episodic guest appearances and as a series regular in many other memorable projects.
