He became a public figure in his own right, making regular appearances on television and occasionally acting in films throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Reed has been a longtime writer for The New York Observer, where he authors the "Talk of the Town" column. He is known for his blunt style and contrarian tastes, and some of his writing has garnered criticism for containing factual errors or disparaging remarks about actors.[1]
