Biography

Ronald Reagan was an American actor who moved from sports broadcasting into Hollywood films. He grew up in Illinois, finished at Eureka College in 1932, and called football and Chicago Cubs games on radio in Iowa until a 1936 screen test led Warner Bros. to sign him. He arrived in Hollywood in 1937 and debuted in Love Is on the Air, making roughly thirty pictures, most of them B films, before military service took him away in 1942. His breakout came as George Gipp in Knute Rockne All American (1940), and critics rated his performance as a leg amputee in Kings Row (1942) among his finest, with Gallup polls listing him among the top 100 stars in 1941 and 1942. He headed the Screen Actors Guild in two spells, hosted General Electric Theater and Death Valley Days, and appeared in 53 films, the last being The Killers (1964).
