Publisher's Summary
Before Ronald Reagan was President of the United States or Governor of California, he was a movie star.
He may not have been a major movie star like Clark Gable or John Wayne, but he kept working - in mostly “B” pictures - from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. Certainly his best known films were Knute Rockne - All American (1940), in which he played football legend George Gipp, and Kings Row (1942). Michael B. Druxman’s one-person play, Ronald Reagan: Movie Star, joins the actor in 1949, when he has just lost a major film role to Errol Flynn. Indeed, not much in his life seems to be going well at this time. Divorced from actress Jane Wyman, his recent romance with Patricia Neal has also taken a wrong turn after she discovered Gary Cooper.
Will there ever be a light at the end of this tunnel?
