In real life, however, Reid is a serious man who is passionately devoted to an extremely serious cause -- de-glamorizing the use ol drugs in film and on TV. "I believe in standing up for what you believe in." says Reid, who is on the board of directors of the Entertainment Industries Council for a Drug-Free Society, along with his "Simorr and Simon" co-star Gerald McRaney. Reid got involved in the cause in 1969. when he and his partner. Dreesan. would go to schools and lecture against drug abuse. "Back then (the cause) didn't get any publicity. Everyone thought drugs were relegated to the ghetto. But that was a myth. It was something middle- class kids were into. It runs rampant through every sector of the world." He stays involved today "because I've got (three) teenage kids and I want them to see what I'm out there fighting for and hopefully they'll think twice." He also says he's never personally used any hard drugs. Reid believes that "drug use is the same among all groups -- whether it be actors, or lawyers, or dentists -- but the high visibility Of people in the entertainment indus­ try glamorizes drugs and contributes to the problem." Reid feels that TV has cleaned up its act somewhat in the last few years, doing strong TV movies on the subject and producing anti-drug series-episodes. "But we've got a long way to go in films. Youth films today are deplorable -- they're all motivated by producers' greed " In the last two years. Reid has testified twice before the Senate Subcommittee on Special Investigations about the way in which celebrities serve as role models for youth. "Very few people know Macky (MacRaney) and I testi­ fied. When stars get arrested for drugs, that's when they get publicity." he says bitterly. Reid desperately wants Hollywood to hear and heed the anti-drug message now and to move toward self-regula­ tion. "There's always the possibility that some ultracon- seryative group will come out here and try censorship. We shouid'-|)uii back. We shoyU^ qpt, let gje$<J rqjn industry." r ...... 01M5 Computog © Best of Saturday Night © Aristocrats 9:15 PM On«W. 9:30 PM © New Country © Not Necessarily the News ©DTV © Hoii#ymoo«»#rs © (2® 700 Club 10:00PM O0O O dD © © © © © You Can Be a Star © Second City TV © Nightly Business Report © © 3® Heatwave 'Pa quito D'Rivera.'
