CHOLESTERHOLICS EAT
LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW

Cholesterholics love rich, fatty foods. They can't seem to get
through a day without lots of meat dripping in gravy. Cream
always goes into their coffee. One sweet dessert leads to
another. But the fact is, these foods can increase the level of
cholesterol in the blood which can lead to heart disease.

But there's a way to help yourself. By cutting down on the fatty
foods in your diet, you could reduce your blood cholesterol
level and perhaps reduce your chance of heart disease.

So if you think you might be a cholesterholic, contact your
American Heart Association for a diet good for life.

epiphany. Did you ever have
one? They're good. I had
mine lanced."
"I wrote the title 'City
Slickers' down on a piece of
paper," he recalled.
And from that line came
the kernel of the movie:
Three friends in search of
the one thing that would
make life meaningful.

Like his character, a TV ad
salesman ("I buy air for a
living —air!"), the 43-year-
old Mr. Crystal has had a
mid-life crisis or two.
"The worst thing that peo-
ple can say to me is, 'You
never change.' " Mr. Crystal
explained.
"The hardest thing for me
was to send my daughter off
to college," he recalled. "The
night before we started the
movie, I said goodbye to her
in her dorm. I felt so weird:
`How did this happen so
fast?' "
The jokes come fast and
furious in City Slickers. But
it is more than a comedy,
Mr. Crystal said of the film's
chemistry — a mix of mirth,
compassion and "the
romance of the West."
One scene, however,
wasn't especially appealing.
Teamed up with a crusty
cowboy (Jack Palance), Mr.
Crystal is forced to assist a
cow give birth to her calf. As
he sticks his hands inside
the (fabricated) cow to pull
out her (real) calf, Mr.
Crystal is covered with
slime.
"What was it they put on
me? You know the jelly that
comes when you get gefilte
fish . . . "
Mr. Crystal was kidding.
But the scene didn't turn
into a joke. Shooting the
segment in sub-freezing
weather in Santa Fe, Mr.
Crystal discovered that the
goo was gelling — as ice. To
prevent frostbite, he was
forced to cut the shoot short
and soak his hands in warm
water.
That was only one of the
perils he faced. Mr. Crystal
talks of nearly being gored
by a rampaging cow and of
almost having to take the
bull by the horns in a
stampede scene.
"I was almost comic tar-
tare," he said.
After surviving the west,
Billy Crystal will make his
directorial debut on his next
project.
"The Min will be about 40
years in the life of a come-
dian," he said.
And who has he landed to
star in the lead role?
Someone he's worked
closely with for 43 years.
Billy Crystal. ❑
