Reba McEntire is readying her acting chops. In a new interview with Taste of Country Nights, the country singer revealed new details on her upcoming one-hour drama slated for ABC.

The very last one ever seen on television appeared at 11:50 PM on January 1st, 1971 on the Johnny Carson Show. After that they were never seen again – a TV commercial for cigarettes. Because it was on this day in 1970 President Richard Nixon signed a lawn banning cigarette ads on TV and radio.
