The 40th President of the United States Ronald? Reagan's authoritative biography tells the story of a Hollywood actor's presidential journey.
On June 5, 2004, the 40th President of the United States, Ronald? Reagan died at the age of 93. Before that, no American president lived longer than him.
He used to be a movie star of Warner Bros. and moved from Hollywood to the White House. Before that, no American president had such a path in his political career.
In the two presidential elections of 1980 and 1984, Reagan won with very high support rate. 1984, he won the votes of 49 out of 50 states, with a vote rate as high as 95%. Before that, no American presidential candidate had won such an honor.
Reagan 198 1 was 70 years old when he entered the White House. Before that, no American president-elect was older than him when he was sworn in.
Reagan inherited the handsome appearance and storytelling skills of alcoholic father Jack. As a teenager, he worked as a lifeguard in Dixon, Illinois. At Eureka College, his greatest wish is to be a football hero. Radio announcer is his first job, relying on his charming voice rather than his face value. After joining Warner Bros., he realized his dream of film performance. But as the audience found other hobbies, Reagan turned to the political field of the film industry.
One of the secrets of Reagan's success is that he has always been optimistic. When he was demoted from a film actor to a TV actor, he should be disappointed, but he was obviously happy to be the host of the General Electric Theatre. The breakthrough of Reagan's political career occurred in 1964, when he joined Barry? Goldwater's campaign team. Goldwater lost the election, but Reagan won the hearts of the Conservative Party. When he ran for governor of California for the first time, Reagan won easily. 198165438+1October 20th, Reagan stepped onto a bigger stage.
Reagan was lucky, John? Hinkley's bullet hit him, but he stubbornly escaped from death-at that time, he had just been in office for less than 70 days. Although he was troubled by the "Iran-contra" scandal, he was still well received by the American people when he left the White House on 1989, and his prestige was extremely high when he left office. He and Nancy have been married for 52 years. After suffering from Alzheimer's disease in his later years, Nancy's company for nearly 10 years gave him infinite warmth.
Reagan is a legend. His management style, tax reduction plan, supply economy and foreign policy have been underestimated and questioned, which are all part of his legendary presidential career. His legend will continue to influence his successor and now America.
