THE famed backwoods banjo boy who wowed the world in the 1972 Burt Reynolds flick Deliverance is now struggling to make ends meet with odd jobs — and can’t play the instrument that made him a movie icon! Billy Redden, now 66, played a teenage hillbilly with lightning fast fingers in a banjo duel in the movie but it was all a fake. His banjo playing was done by the late bluegrass stringman Eric Weissberg, who stuck his arms through the back of Billy’s shirt, say sources. A native of Rabun County, Ga., along the Chattooga River where Deliverance was shot, Billy was picked for the part because he looked like an inbred resident of the backwoods community. Still, the movie hit made him famous and allowed him to play a banjo…

The former General Hospital hunk admits strutting to an initial table read for the ABC sitcom’s script and believing he was the “star” — until five-year-old Jodie Sweetin got all the guffaws!

They were laughing so hard at her.” Steamed Stamos, 60, recalls dialing his agent immediately and barking, “Get me the f*ck off this show!” But the hothead cooled his temper and wound up playing affectionate Uncle Jesse for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995 — but that doesn’t mean the gig was child’s play!

AS VANNA WHITE battles for a huge raise to continue her iconic gig on Wheel of Fortune, the game show’s new host, Ryan Seacrest, is fighting to kick the lovely letter-turner to the curb and pick his own partner, insiders tattle. Sources say 48-year-old Ryan is pestering bosses at Sony Pictures to let him choose a new sidekick when he takes over for retiring host Pat Sajak at the end of next season — and he’s making a compelling case. “Ryan says he has nothing against Vanna personally, but she and Pat were a team for 40 years on Wheel and he’s trying to usher in a new era,” a source says. “Ryan thinks that’s hard to do if the show is stuck in the past — and that past…

DEFEATED Angelina Jolie has finally and begrudgingly agreed to seek an amicable end to her $162 million wine war with ex-hubby Brad Pitt after the movie witch’s sour grapes campaign wrecked her Hollywood reputation and bankability, sources spill. After nearly seven years of going after Pitt tooth and nail on all fronts, Jolie “has decided to change tactics” in their dispute over Château Miraval, a French vineyard the couple purchased in 2008, by agreeing to consider mediation over the property, an insider says. “Angelina’s gotten nowhere by branding Brad an abusive dad and a shady businessman — and refusing to budge on any of the issues in their divorce,” says the spy. “It’s had a reverse domino effect.

WASHINGTON Post fact-checkers claim Donald Trump told more than 30,000 lies or misleading claims during his four years in the White House, and now the Dems have their own potential liar-in-chief — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The 69-year-old environmental lawyer has developed a rep as a raving crackpot for his crusade against what he calls dangerous vaccinations — despite the fact that super-killer smallpox, crippling polio, measles and other devastating diseases have been pretty much eradicated by inoculations. Scientists also insist COVID shots have prevented countless deaths by lessening the impact of infections. Yet recent polls indicate 16 percent of Democrats would vote for RFK Jr. over President Joe Biden.
