RONALD REAGAN
He signs a witty autograph letter: "A new facet enters into our relationship. You are now a voter."
Autograph Letter signed: "Nancy & Ron", 1 page, 8½x11. As follows: "Wire Steve Deutsch [Beverly Hills address]. Steve, a new facet enters into our relationship. You are now a voter. Seriously we offer our congratulations, wishes for many happy returns and an Irish toast. May you live each day of your life. Love". Ink note (unknown hand) in upper right corner: "Sent 6-30-67." 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.
