From the archive, 24 April 1981: 'Coke' investigation adds strife to Hollywood's high society

Paranoia in Tinseltown as a congressional committee turns the spotlight on cocaine abuse in Hollywood
The joke in Hollywood these days is that when the film director shouts 'Cut!' the stars reach for their stash of cocaine.
A 'cut' is the byword in the private world of 'coke' users, when a 'line' of the white powder is prepared for sniffing up the nose - a 'toot' or 'snort.'
The processed derivative of the Latin American erythroxylon coca leaf is Hollywood society's 'high' - at £60 a gramme. The joke is now wearing thin, and the practice is becoming less private.
When a congressional committee from Washington arrived in Los Angeles this week to investigate drug abuse, Hollywood responded as though Senator McCarthy had returned from the 1950s with his blacklist.
Paranoia in Tinseltown is at another kind of high, and it was futile for the committee to assure the »

Evan Shapiro: TV's 17 Best Issue-tainment Shows of All Time
19 April 2012 6:25 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
On April 7, Mike Wallace, the lion of the TV news magazine died. Wallace was more than a news man. He was a former actor and game show host who found a way to seamlessly blend news and entertainment into a combination that was far more than a sum of its parts. Wallace -- first on Night Beat, then on 60 Minutes -- didn't just investigate or report. He turned interviewing into a blood sport -- becoming both one of the most liked and feared men on television as a result. He brought the same intensity and enthusiasm to every interview -- be it entertainers, world leaders or criminals -- even once calling Ayatollah Khomeini a lunatic, to his face.
This got him into trouble at times -- settling a lawsuit with General Westmoreland; losing a battle with CBS over a tobacco industry whistleblower -- but it also made him something rare »

'Mary Tyler Moore' joins Hallmark Channel: She's gonna make it after all ... again
31 March 2012 4:01 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Mary Tyler Moore couldn't be prouder to have two iconic characters who never are away from television very long.
They're now back-to-back each weeknight on the nostalgic channel Me-tv, where her Mary Richards on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" is followed by her Laura Petrie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Each of the classic sitcoms also has another outlet: "Dick Van Dyke" marked its 50th anniversary by rejoining TV Land last fall; and "Mary Tyler Moore" becomes part of the Hallmark Channel lineup with a marathon of first-season episodes Sunday (April 1).
Seven-time Emmy winner Moore tells Zap2it she believes her 1970-77 CBS show's enduring popularity owes to something "The Dick Van Dyke Show" also maintained, "the tradition of good writing and character relationships. We took it another step forward with our show, and that was something to be very proud of.
"For what you see and feel and laugh at now, »

Keck's Exclusives First Look: Betty White and Ed Asner Reunite on Hot in Cleveland!
20 February 2012 4:16 AM, PST | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Nearly four decades after they first sparred as Lou Grant and Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Ed Asner and Betty White reunite on the March 14 episode of TV Land's Hot in Cleveland. At Betty's recent 90th birthday bash, Ed, now 82, told me, "I play a man who spurned her." But unlike their flirtatious scenes back in the '70s, their Cleveland characters' ugly history was all business-related. Ed plays Jameson, "a country-club type who...

TV Showrunners On Women, Comedy And What It Takes To Be Funny These Days: TCA
10 January 2012 11:37 PM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Diane Haithman is contributing to Deadline’s coverage of TCA. Do shows like Don’t Trust the B— In Apartment 23, CBS’ 2 Broke Girls and the Fox series New Girl mean we’re in some kind of women’s renaissance in network TV? At this morning’s TCA session on Apartment 23, creator/executive producer Nahnatchka Khan concluded, well, maybe. But in an afternoon panel featuring producers from ABC’s successful Wednesday night comedy block, the female showrunners of The Middle, Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline, pointed out that they’ve been funny for some time now — behind the scenes. “It’s exciting, but we always thought women had funny things to say,” said Heisler. “I think Tina Fey — and us — poked a little hole that allowed for this. We’ve been doing it for a while, and we’re glad to have company.” The Middle is a family show, not a »
