Reagan's Victory
Reagan’s ictory How HeV Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison Foreword by William J. Bennett Reagan’s Victory: How He Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison 1 FOREWORD By William J. Bennett Ronald Reagan always called me on my birthday. Even after he had left the White House, he continued to call me on my birthday. He called all his Cabinet members and close asso- ciates on their birthdays. I’ve never known another man in public life who did that. I could tell that Alzheimer’s had laid its firm grip on his mind when those calls stopped coming. The President would have agreed with the sign borne by hundreds of pro-life marchers each January 22nd: “Doesn’t Everyone Deserve a Birth Day?” Reagan’s pro-life convic- tions were an integral part of who he was. All of us who served him knew that. Many of my colleagues in the Reagan administration were pro-choice. Reagan never treat- ed any of his team with less than full respect and full loyalty for that. But as for the Reagan administration, it was a pro-life administration. I was the second choice of Reagan’s to head the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It was my first appointment in a Republican administration. I was a Democrat. Reagan had chosen me after a well-known Southern historian and literary critic hurt his candidacy by criticizing Abraham Lincoln. My appointment became controversial within the Reagan ranks because the Gipper was highly popular in the South, where residual animosities toward Lincoln could still be found.

Hollywood Greats Flocked to Racquet Club West
Hollywood Greats Flocked To Racquet Club West By Don Soja An “official” neighborhood since 2007, the famed Racquet Club West (RCW) was once in the thick of all things “Hollywood” in Palm Springs. Sitting behind the notorious Racquet Club founded by two tennis-addicted actors, Ralph Bellamy and Charles Farrell (who had been politely asked to vacate the courts at the El Mirador Hotel, or so it’s said) the location made adjacent homes attractive to the hottest celebrities of the period. Dinner and dancing, drinks at poolside or sets of tennis were but a short walk or bike ride to the club. (Aside: Bicycles hadn’t been “adult toys” since the 1890’s but were re-popularized in Palm Springs. True.) At any given time, if you could bypass vigilant guards, you’d see Clark Gable, heartthrob Tyrone Power, Doris Day, Kirk Douglas, dancer Ann Miller, honeymooners Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Spencer Tracy or Bob Hope. This neighborhood was also rife with major producers, directors and screenwriters. Tucked between the two major north/south corridors of the town (Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon drives), Racquet Club West is bordered by West San Rafael Road on the north and San Marco Way and Alvarado Road on the south. This mix of 175 one- or two-bedroom villas, unprepossessing weekend cottages, charming Spanish casas, and homes by famed architect Don Wexler and the Alexanders is said to have inspired Raymond Chandler’s book Poodle Springs. The number of Top 100 American Movies, created here poolside and “over a highball” is astonishing.

Oscar-Winning Actress Jane Wyman Dies
Oscar-winning actress Jane Wyman dies RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Oscar-winning actress Jane Wyman, once married to future president Ronald Reagan, joined the Catholic Church as an adult and became a benefactor to several Catholic causes. Ms. Wyman died Sept. 10 at her home in Rancho Mirage. The cause of death was not disclosed. While her age was placed at 90, other sources suggested she may have been 93. “The death of Ms. Wyman marks the loss not only of a great actress, but a great woman of faith and a personal friend,” said a Sept. 10 statement from Bishop Gerald R. Barnes of San Bernardino. “Her support of the work of the Catholic Church in the Coachella Valley and the Diocese of San Bernardino made possible many wonderful things, including the Blessed Junipero Serra House of Formation,” Bishop Barnes said. Ms. Wyman also was a strong supporter of Hollywood’s Covenant House and Our Lady of Angels Monastery. She also reportedly went to Mass with fellow Catholic actress Loretta Young, who died in 2000. She won an Oscar for her portrayal of deaf-mute Belinda McDonald, who is made pregnant from rape and becomes a source of scandal, in 1948’s “Johnny Belinda.” She also was nominated three other times for roles in “The Yearling” (1946), as the backwoods wife of Gregory Peck; “The Blue Veil” (1951), as a nursemaid viewed over many decades; and “Magnificent Obsession” (1954), as a blind woman romanced by the playboy who accidentally killed her husband. Her breakout role was in the 1938 movie “Brother Rat,” where she met Mr.

March 1, 2014 News Release: OVERLOOKED STAR JANE WYMAN GETS HER SPOT on the PALM SPRINGS WALK of STARS — FINALLY an Article I
March 1, 2014 News Release: OVERLOOKED STAR JANE WYMAN GETS HER SPOT ON THE PALM SPRINGS WALK OF STARS — FINALLY An article in the Palm Springs Life magazine a few years ago began with the bold assertion “Without the Hollywood Stars, Palm Springs would be just another Banning…or Barstow!” Truly, part of the allure of Palm Springs is its celebrity past. The hundreds and hundreds of Hollywood celebrities who have lived and played in the desert community have given it the reputation of being the Playground of the Stars. The downtown streets have sidewalk stars, the Palm Springs Walk of Stars, which honor many of those show business luminaries. Each sidewalk star is a “page” in the granite history book that names the Hollywood elite whose presence fostered that “celebrity mystique” which attracts visitors and residents alike. One missing “page” is that of the legendary movie and television actress Jane Wyman. On Sunday May 11, the Oscar-winning star and long-time desert resident will receive her overdue sidewalk tribute. At 11:00 am in front of Azul Restaurant at 369 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Wyman will finally join other superstars on the Walk of Stars such as Bob Hope, Ginger Rogers, Liberace, Loretta Young, Elvis Presley, and Carol Channing. A special ceremony with celebrities attending will mark the occasion. Jane Wyman, perhaps best remembered as the ruthless matriarch in the long- running television series “Falcon Crest” of the 1980’s, had a long history with Palm Springs. During her starlet years in the 1930’s, she came to the desert to party with her Hollywood friends at the Racquet Club.

President Ronald Reagan Meghan Wolf
President Ronald Reagan Meghan Wolf Born: February 6th, 1911 Died: June 5th, 2005 40th President of the United States. At 63 years of age, he become the oldest person elected for President • Pre-Presidency- Before entering politics, Reagan was a successful movie and television actor, head of the Screen Actors Guild, and was a spokesperson for General Electric He strongly opposed communism and socialism, and as president he sought fewer regulations, free-trade agreements, welfare cutbacks, and tax cuts. He married Jane Wyman in 1940, and they divorced in 1948. In 1952, he married Nancy Davis, with whom he remained for the rest of his life, fifty-two years. • Presidencial Crediatations and Accomplishments Reagan is credited with restoring America's power and prosperity after a period of stagflation in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the withdrawal from Vietnam. He rejected Détente and escalated the Cold War with the Soviet Union through a military build-up and a firm foreign policy of "peace through strength," but also negotiatied with Mikhail Gorbachev to shrink both countries' nuclear arsenals and peacefully end the Cold War, although some scholars cite December 26, 1991, as the peaceful end of the Cold War - three years after Reagan's presidency had ended. Reagan's persuasive quotable speaking style earned him the sobriquet "The Great Communicator," while his survival of numerous scandals and an assassination attempt earned him the nickname "The Teflon President." Notable appointments included Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who was the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court, and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.

Hollywood and American Politics: the Play's the Thing
Review Essay Hollywood and American Politics: The Play's the Thing Sam B. Girgus RONALD REAGAN IN HOLLYWOOD: Movies and Politics. By Stephen Vaughn. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 1994. November 1948 marked the beginning of Ronald Reagan's winter of discontent. He was in London to make a movie with Patricia Neal and Richard Todd, but he could not anticipate this overseas assignment with enthusiasm and hope. He was, in fact, in the depths of personal and professional despair. Cast as the second male lead in this movie, The Hasty Heart, he faced a dubious future as an actor who could neither reach nor sustain the pinnacle of Hollywood stardom that he sought. Equally devastating to him was the condition of his marriage to Jane Wyman. The marriage, which had been publicized as so successful that it could serve as a model for moviegoers, in reality meant a great deal to Reagan, providing him with a sense of well-being and happiness. However, it was at this point doomed, a victim of the reverse directions of Reagan's and Wyman's careers as she moved toward ever greater financial and professional ascendancy. As Stephen Vaughn writes in this important and impressive study of the melding of politics and personality, Patricia Neal, the female star of The Hasty Heart, "remembered him in tears at a New Year's Eve party. 'It was sad,' she said, 'because he did not want a divorce.'" (229) He tried in London to come to terms with what he called his " 'lonely inner world. ' " (229) 0026-3079/93/3601-115$1.50/0 115 To later critics of Reagan' s politics and influence, it might come as a surprise that he had any "inner world" at all.
