Nancy Davis is the wife of Reagan, the 40th President of the United States. As the former first lady, her beautiful love and marriage with President Reagan are enviable.
But before Reagan became president, Nancy Davis was just a third-rate actor. Although she was outstanding in Hollywood, she did not become popular. Being able to get together with her husband is still the Reagan that Nancy Davis takes the initiative to pursue. Why can such a woman be favored for 52 years after marrying Reagan?
The ups and downs of childhood made Nancy long for a beautiful marriage
Nancy Davis' childhood was very ups and downs. Before her birth, there were already cracks in her parents' relationship. On the day she was born, her father had never visited her mother in the hospital.
On the day Edith gave birth with her belly straight, she couldn't even find a doctor who could deliver her baby. The last doctor who was about to go play golf took the game temporarily, which made Edith give birth to Nancy. But the delivery process was full of violence. In order to play golf early, the doctor pulled Nancy out of her mother with forceps, leaving scars on Nancy's face.
Edith was originally a Broadway actor. After giving birth to Nancy, she had to go back to continue working and travel around to participate in the tour. Edith, who was unable to take care of her daughter, fostered Nancy at her aunt's house.
Nancy's life was very hard at that time, just to fill her stomach and have a shelter from the wind and rain. Later, Nancy's mother Edith remarried a neurologist and took back her daughter. Only then did Nancy's living environment begin to improve.
Children's childhood experiences two different family life. In the early stage, she experienced the feeling of her parents' disagreement, having no time to take care of herself, and living under someone else's roof. After the improvement of living conditions, her mother sent her to a private aristocratic school and took her to travel around the world, and was greatly satisfied with her food, clothing and expenses.
This change made Nancy deeply realize how important a beautiful marriage is to life. So when she was young, she began to long for a happy and beautiful marriage when she grew up, not only for her children, but also for herself.
After experiencing a failed marriage, Reagan met Nancy
After growing up, Nancy went from a fat man to a beautiful girl. With her appearance, she entered Hollywood and became an actor. However, Nancy's acting career is not brilliant, and most of the roles she plays are maids, and she is not even a supporting role. She is only a third-rate actor.
Reagan is similar to her. Although she looks handsome, she is not popular in Hollywood. Even with many suitors around him, his career has not improved much.
Nancy and Reagan's encounter was introduced by filmmaker Melvin Leroy as the intermediary. After Nancy met Reagan for the first time, she was attracted by the other party.
At that time, Reagan had just experienced a failed marriage. He was frustrated and he was still cautious about his new relationship, so Reagan was not enthusiastic about Nancy at the beginning. However, Nancy was very proactive. Even though Reagan was not very famous at the time, she was very sure that this was her ideal husband.
Nancy's proactive show of kindness, giving Reagan's company and support at the right time, slowly melting Reagan's heart. In 1952, Reagan officially proposed to Nancy, and it was also in this year that the two entered the palace of marriage.
Nancy was 31 years old and Reagan was 41 years old, but this did not affect their relationship.
After marriage, Nancy became Reagan's good wife
, which can be loved by her husband for the rest of her life, and it is also closely related to Nancy's help to Reagan. The two soon had a baby after getting married, but their lives were not comfortable. The two did not improve much as actors, and Reagan even lost his job because he refused to play the role he hated. Under such a dilemma, Nancy did not complain, but instead enjoyed this difficult life experience.
Reagan, who lost his job as an actor, began to devote himself to politics. With his outstanding political ability, he became the governor of California. During his tenure, he reversed the fiscal deficit and was re-elected as governor.
ambitious, he plans to run for president and give full play to his political talents. As a wife, Nancy was resistant at first because both being a politician and being a president were all hard work.
But she looked at her husband with full enthusiasm and finally chose to support him unconditionally. During the Reagan campaign, she was the most staunch supporter behind her husband, delivering speeches, biography, doing charity activities, and in order for her husband to successfully run for president, she did everything that was beneficial to Reagan's campaign.
Hard work pays off. Reagan stood out from all the campaigners and became the 40th president of the United States, and Nancy also became the first lady.
In the eyes of the outside world, Nancy is a strong woman, but only Reagan, as her husband, knows the insecurity. So even if he becomes president, he will still tolerate and love his wife.
In 1994, Reagan suffered from Alzheimer's disease and gradually forgot everything. In order to protect her husband's face, Nancy took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her husband alone and accompanied him through the last time of his life.
It was also after this that people's views on Nancy gradually changed. Her love for her husband is obvious to everyone. At Reagan's funeral, she kissed her husband's coffin and said goodbye to her husband with tears in her eyes. In March 2016, Nancy, 94, passed away. After saying goodbye to her husband for 12 years, she was buried next to her husband's cemetery and reunited in another way.
