The problem with making a movie about Reagan..

[Tony_FLADEM]

Ronald Reagan was an actor before he was president. Its difficult to make a movie about an actor without it turning into a parody......

1. I'd love to see a movie version of the time when

Reagan was waving a gun in front of Rhonda Fleming! (Ronnie had a HUGE unrequited thing for Rhonda)

2. I remember

That Regan's one main value as an actor was that he was always on time and sober.

3. It could be done but

you're right in that it runs a huge risk of being a parody. Wish someone would give it an honest try.

There's so much material, it would probably have to be a mini series.

7. Thanks for that.

Even Tweety's whore Noonan was quoted. Funny because just last night she was hailing the CBS decision as a victory for TRUTH! Lol.

"I was surprised how big his hearing aid is, or rather how aware of it you are when you're with him. There was a quizzical look on his face as he listened to what was going on around him, and I thought, He doesn't really hear very much, and his appearance of constant good humor is connected to his deafness. He misses much of what is not said directly to him, but he assumes it is good."

I owe you one.

8. Same here

So I asked my father about the hype, he said that Regan was the grandfatherly type that the country thought they needed.
