Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911–2004) was the 40th President of the United States (1981–1989) and the 33rd Governor of California (1967–1975). Born in Illinois, Reagan moved to Los Angeles, California in the 1930s, where he was an actor, president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), and a spokesman for General Electric (GE). After Jimmy Carter's unsuccessful attempts to deal with the Iranian hostage crisis, the United States opted for the more hawkish Reagan to restore America's hegemony abroad. Reagan changed domestic economic policies to reflect the teachings of the Chicago School of Economics and unleashed the Strategic Defense initiative, a system to defend against any possible Soviet nuclear missile attack. The resulting American economic boom and growth in military power helped bring about the end of the Cold War and collapse of the Soviet Union.

Ronald Reagan in The Man With the Iron HeartEdit

Ronald Reagan was a moderately famous film star during the 1940s. Diana McGraw, the founder of Mothers Against the Madness in Germany, met Reagan as well as several other actors at Gilmore Field while on anti-occupation political tour of Los Angeles. Reagan gave a blistering three-minute speech attacking Harry S. Truman.[1].
