Ronald Regan
**Reagan: From Hollywood to the White House**
Born on February 6, 1911, in Tampico, Illinois, Ronald Reagan’s journey from an actor to a politician is a quintessential American story. As a young man, Reagan showed a flair for leadership, serving as student body president in high school, and he nurtured a passion for drama and acting. After graduating from Eureka College in 1932, he began his career as a sports radio announcer. His big break came in 1937 when he signed a seven-year contract with Warner Bros., propelling him to Hollywood stardom. Reagan’s ambitions extended beyond the silver screen, and in 1967, he transitioned from a beloved actor to the governor of California. Fourteen years later, in 1981, he would assume the highest office in the land as President of the United States, leaving an indelible mark on American history.
