Book Photograph signed: "Barbara/Stanwyck" and "& Ronald Reagan". B/w, 7¾x4¾. Book publicity still from the 1958 re-release of the 1954 Western, Cattle Queen of Montana, which starred Stanwyck as Sierra Nevada Jones and Reagan as government agent Farrell. Captioned at lower margin. This film, which was filmed on location at Montana's Glacier National Park, was briefly reissued theatrically after Reagan was elected President in 1980. RONALD REAGAN (1911-2004) had two careers: actor and politician. His first movie was Love is on the Air (1937) and his 53rd and last film was The Killers (1964). In 1965, he wrote his autobiography, Where's the Rest of Me?, a line from his role as Drake McHugh in King's Row (1942). Reagan left his job hosting television's Death Valley Days during the 1965-1966 season, when he entered politics. Elected Governor of California in 1966, he was reelected in 1970. Reagan began his campaign for the presidency and narrowly lost the 1976 Republican nomination to Gerald Ford. He was elected President in 1980 and was reelected in 1984. After leaving office in 1989, he wrote his second autobiography, An American Life. On February 6, 2001, Reagan became just the third U.S. President to reach the age of 90 and the nation's longest living President until Gerald Ford (d. 2006) lived 45 days longer. Orphaned at four and a Ziegfeld chorus girl at 15, BARBARA STANWYCK (1907-1990) was a Broadway star by the late 1920s. Moving to Hollywood after 1930, she was often cast as a tough-minded working girl who rarely met a happy ending. Stanwyck received Oscar nominations for Stella Dallas (1937), Ball of Fire (1941), Double Indemnity (1944) and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). She earned renewed popularity on television, especially as the star of the Western series, The Big Valley (1965-1969), for which she won an Emmy. Lightly creased at blank margins. Overall, fine condition.
