Biography
At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan
viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative
program known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to
reinvigorate the American people and reduce their reliance upon
Government. He felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980
to restore "the great, confident roar of American progress and
growth and optimism."
On February 6, 1911, Ronald
Wilson Reagan was born to Nelle and John Reagan in Tampico,
Illinois. He attended high school in nearby Dixon and then
worked his way through Eureka College. There, he studied
economics and sociology, played on the football team, and acted
in school plays. Upon graduation, he became a radio sports
announcer. A screen test in 1937 won him a contract in
Hollywood. During the next two decades he appeared in 53 films
