I believe Frank was a supporter of Reagan's, so if he was a democ
rat, he was a Reagan democ
rat. Also, Charlton Heston was once a democ
rat, who helped organize the Hollywood contingent that supported and accompanied Dr King on the Washington march. Heston was even approached about running as a democ
rat senator after Reagan was elected governor of California.
As you know, Heston ultimately wound up being a staunch Republican conservative and NRA spokesman. Hollywood types who were Kennedy democrats were often Reagan democrats or outright republicans after their party went to hell in a handbasket.
