After his attempt at pop stardom fizzled in the U.S., musician and actor Dean Reed fostered a South American fan base, moved to Argentina, and became a leftist activist against his native country’s foreign policy. Argentina deported him in 1966, and he eventually landed in East Germany, where he emerged as the Soviet Union’s biggest musical sensation. Despite his outspoken opposition to U.S. policy—which attracted a lot of hate mail and death threats—Reed never renounced his U.S. citizenship and filed tax returns with the I.R.S. until his mysterious drowning in 1986, which some say was murder and others claim was suicide.
