(Walter Cronkite)
A year ago,

1:07:43
a Memphis federal court
convicted actor Harry Reems

1:07:46
on obscenity charges
in connection with his role

1:07:48
in the film Deep Throat,
1:07:50
Today, a US District Judge
in Memphis overturned
that conviction,

1:07:53
saying that
the actor's activities
took place before

1:07:56
the 1973 Supreme Court
obscenity ruling.

1:08:00
(Reems)
Now that my name
was--was pretty recognizable,

1:08:05
I moved to LA,
1:08:06
thinking that
certainly somebody
would come along and say:

1:08:09
''well,
there's a sellable name.''

1:08:11
Allan Carr had produced
and directed films,

1:08:14
uh, for Paramount,
1:08:15
And he called me one day
and said,

1:08:17
''l'd like you
to play the role

1:08:19
of the high school coach
in the movie Grease, ''

1:08:23
I was excited that
I was given an opportunity,

1:08:25
Then about two
or three weeks

1:08:27
before principal
photography began,

1:08:29
Paramount Pictures
removed me from the cast,

1:08:32
That they didn't feel
as though I belonged

1:08:36
in a mainstream
motion picture,

1:08:38
And the lights went on
for me,

1:08:41
l had branded myself
1:08:43
and, uh, given myself
a certain stigma.

1:08:47
I just started
to drink every night,

1:08:49
looking for an escape,
1:08:51
looking for a little bit
of lightheartedness.

1:08:54
And, you know,
1:08:55
it just led me into
a terrible, terrible disease

1:08:59
of alcoholism
and drug addiction.
