  • Ronald Reagan was born into the influential Reagan family in 1911. In 1929 he entered the University of Illinois and studied law and geography. He was President of the student council and remained at the university until 1932. However upon leaving university he found it hard to get a job so he was forced to join the army so he could get enough money to look after his parents. He enlisted in the army as a private in 1932 and served on garrison duty until 1936. In 1936 he was posted to Spain as a guard at the US embassy. In 1938 he discharged himself from the army and was able to get a job as a stagehand at several theatres in Chicago. His stage career was cut short when in May 1941 President Roosevelt ordered the army to mobilize, however Reagan volunteered, rather than wait to be conscripted and consequently was able to get a commission. In August 1941 2nd Lieutenant Reagan was posted to the military information bureau in Washington and spent the next two years there. But in 1943 the army began putting together an army film unit, and Reagan was able to get a posting to it. The film unit was largely responsible for newsreels and short propaganda films. In 1944 Reagan was promoted to Captain. Upon his discharge, Reagan didn't return to his native Illinois. Instead he moved, with his family to Los Angeles. In 1948 Reagan was hired by Griffith Studios and appeared in minor roles in several films. In 1949 Reagan appeared in a minor role in the war epic "Tales from the Pacific". He continued to appear in secondary roles until 1952 when he met actress Nancy Vermouth. The two fell in love and got married. In 1954 Reagan continued his film career but he began losing secondary roles and instead got minor ones. He appeared in his last film in 1957.
