Patrick Reynolds

Social activism quote=I consider myself the white sheep of my family — Reynolds, 1986 and from 1983 to 1985 tried to get hired by RJR Nabisco Inc. in an attempt to get the company to divest its tobacco holdings. He has appeared on many national television programs.

In 1989, Reynolds founded The Foundation for a Smokefree America. That same year, Reynolds published The Gilded Leaf with Thomas Shachtman, chronicling three generations of his family and its tobacco business, a book he had been working on since 1980. He continues to speak on tobacco control to adult groups, and also gives motivational prevention talks before high school and elementary school audiences. He advised the Greek government on anti-smoking measures in 2009, and in 2011 was seeking sponsorship for a world tour.

In 2011, Reynolds said friction with his family had eased. "ince 1986, the price of the stock kept going up. And as far as being an embarrassment, I received an award from the World Health Organization; I brought honor to the Reynolds family." leaving a will that disinherited Patrick, his brother, and four half-brothers. Reynolds, however, received $500,000 from his father's fourth wife after agreeing not to contest the will.

After attending The Hotchkiss School, Reynolds studied filmmaking at the University of California Bernice Bobs Her Hair PBS Adaptation of F.
