Line 21:
Line 21: − + − − Reagan became a radio sports announcer, and then a famous actor, leading the Screen Actors Guild.

Peggy Noonan wrote, "Even in his zeal to purge the communist influence from Hollywood, he fought those who engaged in witch hunts and defended those who had been falsely accused of involvement."

Reagan was born and raised in Illinois and attended Eureka College, where he quickly developed a reputation as a "jack of all trades", excelling in the areas of athletics and theater.
