\n

America\u2019s 40th President Ronald Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois, on this day in history, Feb. 6, 1911.<\/a><\/p>\n

Before he was a movie star-turned-commander-in-chief,<\/a> Reagan was born to parents Nelle and John Reagan in the northwestern Illinois town.<\/p>\n

Although they were poor, Reagan still remembered his childhood as “idyllic,” according to History.com, and grew up to play football in high school and at Eureka College.<\/p>\n

While in college, Reagan studied economics and sociology and also acted in school plays, according to the White House website.<\/p>\n

After graduating during the Great Depression<\/a>, Reagan finally took a job broadcasting sports at a radio station in Iowa.<\/p>\n

In 1937, Warner Brothers offered Reagan his first on-screen gig playing a radio reporter in the B-movie “Love Is on the Air.”<\/p>\n

Reagan signed a seven-year contract starting at $200 per week, History.com notes.<\/p>\n

A few years later, Reagan landed the notable role of Notre Dame University\u2019s George Gipp in the movie<\/a> “Knute Rockne \u2013 All American.”<\/p>\n

Reagan began involving himself in politics once he’d starred in more than 50 films and served six terms as Screen Actors Guild president.<\/p>\n

In 1947, he stood up against alleged communism within Hollywood<\/a> by testifying before the House Un-American Activities Committee.<\/p>\n

Reagan divorced his first wife, Jane Wyman, in 1948, and in 1952 married actress Nancy Davis.<\/p>\n

The early 1950s sparked Reagan’s career as the host of the TV program “General Electric Theater” and traveled the country as GE Company spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Reagan\u2019s political involvement grew into the 1960s when the actor switched his affiliation from Democrat to Republican in 1962.<\/p>\n

In 1966, Reagan ran for California governor and won against incumbent Pat Brown by close to a million votes, history.com reports.<\/p>\n

Reagan served two terms as California\u2019s governor before making a bid for the presidential ticket in 1976, which he lost to Gerald Ford.<\/p>\n

But 1980 proved to be Reagan\u2019s year after he won the Republican nomination and beat out incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter for president.<\/p>\n

Then 69 years old, Reagan was considered the oldest president in American history.<\/p>\n

His campaign brought a new wave of conservatism to the U.S. with his pledge to restore “the great, confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism.”<\/p>\n

His career in Hollywood became one of his “biggest assets,” History.com says, as he became known as the “Teflon president” and faced a string of successes.<\/p>\n

“His term saw a restoration of prosperity at home, with the goal of achieving \u2018peace through strength\u2019 abroad,” the White House says on its website.<\/p>\n

Emerging from the unrest of the Vietnam War<\/a>, Reagan\u2019s foreign policy legacy led to open relations with the Soviet Union in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s economic policy, known as “Reaganomics,” pushed to stimulate economic growth, curb inflation, increase employment and strengthen the national defense.<\/p>\n

The president maintained his popularity throughout his two-term presidency after renewing national “self-confidence,” whitehouse.gov reports.<\/p>\n

Reagan handed over the White House to his vice president, George H.W. Bush, in 1988.<\/p>\n

On June 5, 2004, Reagan died at the age of 93 after his struggle with Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
