ART

Getty Phones Light Up: The L.A. art world’s biggest coming attraction, the Richard Meier-designed Getty Center, had received called-in parking reservations for 7,750 cars as of 1 p.m. Tuesday--the third day the reservation lines were open. The Getty Center, which includes the new J. Paul Getty Museum, opens to the public on Dec. 16. A spokeswoman said Tuesday that reservations were still available for select dates in December and January, including some late afternoon spots for weekends and opening day. Visitors arriving by taxi or bus need not make reservations.

TELEVISION

Buckle Up: The Center for Health Communication at the Harvard School of Public Health, which is dedicated to using the mass media to motivate positive behavioral change, is invoking the name of the late Princess Diana in its efforts to persuade television producers to include scenes with their characters wearing seat belts. Jay A. Winsten, director of the center, has sent letters to more than 40 producers of prime-time shows to include a line or two of dialogue in upcoming episodes that incorporates the phrase, “Remember Diana.” For instance, a driver in a car could indicate to a passenger that they should buckle up by saying, “Remember Diana.” Paris investigators have said that the princess was not wearing her seat belt when she died in an Aug. 31 car crash. Winsten said he has not yet heard of any producers who have signed on to the “Remember Diana” campaign. The center was behind a previous campaign that prompted producers to use the term “designated drivers” in comedies and dramas.

Co-Stars on Parade: Nineteen former co-stars of Bob Newhart and Judd Hirsch will join the duo in a Nov. 3 episode of their new CBS series “George & Leo.” Called “The Cameo Show,” the episode will feature appearances by “The Bob Newhart Show” alums including Bill Daily, Marcia Wallace and Peter Bonerz; “Newhart” cast members such as Julia Duffy, Peter Scolari and Tom Poston; former “Taxi” regulars Marilu Henner and Jeff Conaway, and former “Dear John” group members including Jane Carr and Harry Groener.
