"I didn't know this before but Nancy Reagan was also adopted."

I am not sure this is true.

I saw it on a site that had an abbreviated biography on her. She was adopted into a wealthy family.

I recently re-read Peggy Noonan's book, "When Character Was King". According to the book, Nancy was born Anne Frances Robbins. Nancy's biological father divorced her mother when she was a small child. Nancy is a nickname given to her by her mother (not a stage name). Later on, her mother remarried Dr. Loyal Davis, who adopted her.
