"I can't remember a time when I wasn't interested in the theater."
-- Nancy Reagan
A Career on Stage and Screen:
Nancy Davis was born into an acting family -- her mother, Edith Luckett, supported herself and her daughter through her roles on stage. Nancy's interest in acting, like her future husband's, began in her childhood. She continued acting in high school and earned a degree in drama from Smith College.
Nancy Davis acted on stage in New York and on television before signing a seven-year film contract with MGM in 1949. In 1952, she gladly traded her first career for a second, as Mrs. Ronald Reagan, wife and mother. |
