Edited on Wed Jun-09-04 10:21 AM by arwalden
Or was The Reagan-Wyman marriage already over?

4. Jane dumped him a few years earlier
Met Nancy when she went to him to get her name off a few RW blacklists.

19. She was awesome on "Falcon Crest"
That was my favorite 80s night time soap. I liked the relationship between her character and David Selby's.

9. It has been suggested that that's how Nancy got her start in Hollywood.
The "casting couch" was very much around at the time.

6. I thoght Nancy was okay.
She was stick-thin and had pricey tastes, but she obviously really loved Reagan and supported him in his ambitions, whereas Wyman did not.

Wyman: fine as an actress, but love is love - Ron & Nancy loved each other, so she was the best for him.

Wyman was definitely the better actress, though...

7. Jane Wyman, for cattily saying about Ronnie after the divorce...
that Reagan was boring...and she apparently meant in bed, as well.

11. Nancy Davis and Monica Lewinsky
Frome the Orange County Weekly, actor Peter Lawford recounts his remembrances of Nancy Davis to his wife Patricia:

Among his many acquaintances was young Nancy Davis. Just how well they were acquainted Patricia didn’t know until after Reagan was elected president. The Widow Lawford recalls, "Peter was watching the news right after Reagan was elected. He went over to the set, laughing and calling Mrs. Reagan a vulgar name. I was shocked and wanted to know what was bothering him. He laughed again and said that when she was single, Nancy Davis was known for giving the best head in Hollywood. Then Peter told of driving to the Phoenix area with Nancy and Bob Walker . Nancy would visit her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Loyal Davis, while Peter and Walker picked up girls at Arizona State University in Tempe, a Phoenix suburb. He claimed that she entertained them orally on those trips, apparently playing with whichever man was not driving at the moment. I have no idea if Peter was telling the truth, though I have to assume he was because Peter was not one to gossip."

13. Wasn't Lawford's wife one of the Kennedys?
Edited on Wed Jun-09-04 10:33 AM by RatTerrier
I doubt she would be one to casually throw around gossip if it weren't true.

Heh heh - "Road Head"

16. Jane Wyman was the better actress
can you imagine NANCY REAGAN playing Mr. Spock's mother on Star Trek!?You'd-a-understood why he ran off to join Star Fleet after that ballet dancer thing fell through...
:)

On the other hand Nancy ran the country during Ron's second term and did a good job of it for a woman with little direct experience of politics...irregardless of her extravagance and superstitious nature.
:)
So it is a tie IMHO.
