Good guess Spork but Shirley was never a great actress; she was a star. There's a difference. Besides, she was not the ambassador then.
Braaack!!

It's a trick question. The "one was his wife" is Nancy Reagan (nee' Davis) and the "great actress" is Jane Wyman (who also was his wife). Eh?

who is Jane Wyman?
I know it is not likely but as good a guess as any. After all, she was a co-star and a really good actress.

Just saw that G. Hod beat me to the Wyman answer. Good job G. Hod if we are correct.(Technically speaking, though, you didn't respond appropriately:-)

zap!
Who is Lucille Ball?
Just throwing it out there...
I though of Jane Wyman too, but that would make the question deceptive, perhaps even untrue... it says "one" of the women was his wife, and it doesn't say *when* she was his wife...
Oh, and the earlier Law Fairy (surprise, surprise) was just what's-his-face again. I suppose I should be flattered by his apparent obsession with me...

Nobody has it yet. I wont give out a clue, since by process of elimination, somebody new should be able to get it. there are only so many former co-stars who fit the "great actress" criteria, IMHO.

The actress was Olivia De Havilland. She and Reagan were members at one time in a left leaning Hollywood group. FDR's son James was also a member. It was Roosevelt's idea to get the group to issue a statement denouncing communism, since they had already denounced fascism many times. Reagan and De Havilland joined in the motion. This ignited a brouhaha as the more pinko members of the group shouted them down. Reagan and his friends resigned after that.
So, the story goes, at this party in 1982, Reagan and De Havilland were reminiscing about the old days, and he said to her(paraphrasing), "I thought you were one of them," and she said, "I thought you were one too."
Anyways, Blu is correct and gets to pick the next category.

She and B. Davis were the co-stars who seemed to have the most attachment to France - that's what led me to toss out her name.
Where did you get the bio info associated to her and the Gipper?

oh, and I'll take Vexatious Vexillology for $400.

A little tidbit; her cousin designed the de Havilland airplanes and her younger sister was Joan Fontaine. But, in my humble opinion, she was not a "great" actress.
But WTF, I don't agree with Annie's judges anyway. They all smoke too much stuff.
Posted by: shelly at August 28, 2006 07:29 PM (ZGpMS)

the bio info is from Reagan's War. highly recommended. and any actress who stands up against the commies is a great actress in my book. i did not know about the aircraft connection, interesting.
