MINI BIO:

Ronald Reagan was a loyal 'servant' to Warner Brothers for 13 years playing easy-going types, without quite getting into the mainstream of their films. When his features hardened with middle age, he played tough westerns for a while before going into politics, becoming Governor of California from 1966 to 1973. He was elected President of the United States in 1980, and re-elected for a second term in 1984. He was married to actress Jane Wyman from 1940 to 1948 and to Nancy Davis from then onwards (first and second wives).

Ronald Reagan Facts
40th president of the United States (20 January 1981 - 20 January 1989).

Reagan was the first "true blue" conservative to win the Republican nomination and be elected President since Calvin Coolidge in 1924.

Of Irish decent, his grandfather Micheal Regan immigrated to the United States from Ballyporeen, Ireland in the 1860's. Ballyporeen, a tiny rural farming town in County Tipperary is located in the south-central part of the country and it's inhabitants are frequently referred to as "Midlanders". The Regan's were one of three primary families or "clans" that populated St. Mary's Parish in the village of Ballyporeen. The Ronald Reagan Visitors Centre was built down the street from St. Mary's Church following his visit to his ancestral home in the mid-1980's. Ironically, the spelling of the family name Regan was changed to Reagan after immigrating to the United States.
