Proving that Reagan was a very smart man :-)
You know what I found out Ronnie didn’t wear any TV makeup story was after Love in the air Old guy working for Warner Bros said SON you don’t need makeup you have complexion don’t need it after that NO Makeup
Some years back, the History channel had a pretty good show about Reagan. It talked about a lot of little things that I found interesting like him collecting acorns to feed to DC squirrels.
People can get the same information from Reagan's autobiography, "An American Life."
Geez do I miss that guy in the American stage...proudest votes I’ve ever cast were for him...
I remember a story about his early acting days in a western. While they director was setting up a shot, Regan was scraping a mound of dirt together with his feet and made himself the tallest man in the scene without anyone noticing till it was too late to change.
I know that I think Mitt Romney tries to make his voice sound like Reagan’s and it’s creepy.
Interesting fact; he had a pen pal for 50 years.
Philadelphia native Lorraine Wagner first wrote to President Reagan when she was 13 and he was in his 30s. Her request was an autographed picture.
Out of 10 celebrities she wrote to, only then-actor Ronald Reagan (search) wrote back. They were pen pals for the next 50 years.
“It was a very cordial relationship, a relationship that began by simply writing letters ... a relationship he allowed to evolve to a friendship,” Wagner said. “That’s the extraordinary part of it and the extraordinary character of the man who allowed that.”
Wagner sent hundreds of letters and gifts to the actor-turned-governor-turned president. He responded to her more than 200 times, sometimes offering a rare insight into his personal life, although most of the letters centered around their daily lives and families.
Reagan wrote in one letter: “I’ve been asked to run for governor and while I’m highly honored, I don’t think I’m right for the part.”
Wagner denies there was anything more than just friendship between the two, although she might have had a teenage crush on the dashing Hollywood star.

Reagan knew the truth about freedom.
We are in a sad state of affairs today.

True story: I’m a big Batman fan and have had the nickname since I was 15 (even had the car) and that was 37 years ago. Last April, 2011, I was visiting my brother that now lives in Ventura, CA.
We took a day and went to the Reagan Libarary in Simi Valley. It’s the third time I’ve been there. They’ve completely remodeled it and have the new Air Force One exhibit.
I was, as always, wearing a Dark Knight t-shirt and ran into Aaron Eckhart’s father and mother there. He sent me a signed movie poster (huge) that I have framed in my home.
