　　Ronald Reagan was one of the most powerful and popular

American presidents. The key to understanding his political success

and the remarkable likability and effortless charisma that made it

possible is hidden in his early years as a Hollywood movie

star.

Other biographers and Reagan in his two memoirs have skimmed over

the thirty years he spent as an actor, union activist, and ladies’

man. Now, for the first time, in this highly entertaining and

provocative new work, acclaimed film critic and historian Marc

Eliot reveals the truth of those formative years and presents a far

different and infinitely more detailed portrait of Reagan than ever

before.

Based on original research and never-before-published interviews,

documents, and other materials, Eliot sheds new light on Reagan’s

film and television work opposite some of the most talented women

of the time, including Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, and Ginger

Rogers; his starlet-strewn bachelor days when his name was linked

with Lana Turner and Susan Hayward; his first, rocky marriage to

actress Jane Wyman and his career-making second marriage to Nancy

Davis; his controversial eight years as the president of the Screen

Actors Guild; his friendships with Jimmy Stewart and William

Holden; his place in the “Irish Mafia” alongside Pat O’Brien,

Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, and Errol Flynn; and

the crucial role of super-agent Lew Wasserman, who was instrumental

in developing the persona that would prove essential to Reagan’s

future as a world leader.

Set against the glamorous and often combative background of

Hollywood’s celebrated Golden Age, Eliot’s biography provides an

exceptionally nuanced examination of the man and uncovers the

startling origins of the legend.
