Rob Reiner’s
cue from Arkin
By Dick Kleiner
HOLLYWOOD - (NEA) -
Rob Reiner is now shooting
“Fire Sale,” co-starring and
directed by Alan Arkin. And
Reiner says that Arkin is in
advertently responsible for
him becoming an actor.
“I’ve known Alan, slightly,
for a long time,” says Reiner.
“He was in ‘Enter Laughing,’
which my father (Carl
Reiner) wrote. And he was
also in ‘The Russians Are
Coming,’ and my father was
in that, too. As a boy, I got to
know him, although not well.
“When I went to high
school, I was something of a
loner. Then I went out for the
school play and got a part, and
found myself part of a group
for the first time. Then I saw
Arkin in ‘Luv,’ and decided
that’s what I really wanted to
do — he gave my ambition
focus.”
Reiner is squeezing in this
part during a break in the All
In the Family season’s
shooting. He isn’t sure how
much longer that show will
continue.
He says his contract with
the show expires next
September.
“I understand,” he says,
“that Carroll (O’Connor)
wants to go another season, at
least. Well, I enjoy doing the
show, I enjoy being Mike
Stivic. And, if I want to do TV,
I might as well do that show
because it’s the best there is.
“But I’m keeping my op
tions open and, if something
better comes along, I might
do that.”
But his big dream is
something entirely separate
from show business — he says
he’d like either to pitch for the
New York Yankees or play a
tennis match at Forest Hills.
Joyce Haber's new novel,
“The Users," has Hollywood
on its ears trying to guess
who’s who. And Miss Haber
says her biggest problem isn't
that people identify
themselves, but that they’re
offended because they’re not
included.
“I get calls, angry calls,”
she says, “from people who
think they should be in it.
They want to be part of the
book and get mad when they
can’t find themselves.”
“The Users” is one of those

books with a Hollywood set
ting, with all kinds of iden
tifiable people and iden
tifiable stories. And she says
the people and the stories are
all true.
“Everything,” she says, “is
based on things I’ve heard and
observed in my years cover
ing Hollywood.”
Miss Haber was for a long
time the Hollywood columnist
for the Los Angeles Times.
Then she was fired and she
learned an interesting lesson.
“It was an eye-opener,” she
says, “to see how nice some
— but not all — people were to
me when I was fired. People
like Darryl Zanuck, who
appeared at my door the day
after the axe fell.”
“The Users,” in common
with others of its type, is a
graphic book in terms of sex.
Miss Haber had never written
anything like it before, and
she says it was tough.
“I had to use a dictionary
for the pornographic terms,"
she says. “How many ways
did I know to describe various
parts of the anatomy? I used a
slang dictionary and I went to
many libraries. Along the
way, I learned that UCLA has
the second largest por
nographic collection in the
world.

Vatican ”
