I've always thought that Nancy Reagan was a perfect wife to Ronnie. She put her whole heart into creating a good relationship with him. But I also think she was calculating. Did you know Reagan married her because she was pregnant?
It wouldn't surprise me at all if she never really believed in Reagan's politics.
That's a scandal monger rumor based on when they were married (Mar 4, '52) and when Patti was born (Oct 21, '52). That's very nearly eight months. He and then wife Jane Wyman had a daughter born FOUR months premature in 1947. She died a day later.
