"Video may have killed the radio star, but it proved a real boon to Playmates in the Eighties, who played a not insignificant role in that decade's video revolution." Reed also appeared in various R-rated movies including starring roles in Red Shoe Diaries and The Price Of Desire as well as network television shows including NYPD Blue andThe War at Home. She was a reporter and producer on Playboy TV's series Sexcetera, and marketed photos and explicit home movies through her own website.  Reed was the producer of the second season of the Naked Happy Girls series and was the writer and supervising producer of Playboy's hit travel/reality show 69 Sexy Things 2 Do Before You Die.
