When Ronald Reagan died, an ABC News report said that “their love story has always been a part of the presidential story.” The New York Times wrote, “Mrs. Reagan was a fierce guardian of her husband’s image, sometimes at the expense of her own, and during Mr. Reagan’s improbable climb from a Hollywood acting career to the governorship of California and ultimately the White House, she was a trusted adviser.” Reagan biographer Craig Shirley wrote in his book Last Act: The Final Years and Enduring Legacy of Ronald Reagan, “They were best friends and soul mates, and his letters over the years left no doubt as to the depth of their mutual love.” “Mrs. Reagan was a balm to him and he hated being on the road without her,” Shirley once said in an interview. “His diaries recount on several occasions how much he missed her when she was traveling. She also was better as judging who was there to help Reagan versus helping themselves than he was.They were the consummate team, madly in love with each other and content to be alone with no one else around.” The world may have never had the man who won the Cold War if it was not for the driving force of Nancy in his life. Ronald Reagan aide Michael Deaver once said that, “Without Nancy, there would have been no Governor Reagan, no President Reagan.” Ronald and Nancy Reagan met in 1949 when Ronald was the head of the Screen Actors Guild and they married three years later. Their bond was deep and a driving force behind Ronald Reagan’s relentless and successful political career. When Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1994, Nancy become his primary caretaker until his death in 2004. Throughout that time she remained a guardian of his legacy.
Nancy Reagan has died at the age of 94, according to TMZ. Mrs. Ronald Reagan, as she wished to be known even when her husband died, was the 40th president’s closest confidant and a played a major role in his career and presidency.

Class act? 3 Bizarre Occult Secrets of the Reagan Presidency As mentioned above, Nancy secretly consulted astrologer Joan Quigley regularly throughout the 1980s. It was a minor scandal when President Reagan’s former chief of staff Donald T. Regan revealed what he called the administration’s “most closely guarded secret.” “Virtually every major move and decision the Reagans made during my time as White House chief of staff was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco who drew up horoscopes to make certain that the planets were in a favorable alignment for the enterprise,” Donald Regan wrote in his 1988 memoir, For the Record: From Wall Street to Washington. Miss Quigley revealed her counsel was sought on some of the most important decisions in the Cold War. From her obituary in the New York Times: In an interview with “CBS Evening News” in 1989, after Reagan left office, Miss Quigley said that after reading the horoscope of the Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, she concluded that he was intelligent and open to new ideas and persuaded Mrs. Reagan to press her husband to abandon his view of the Soviet Union as an “evil empire.” Arms control treaties followed. Nancy Regan downplayed Miss Quigley’s influence in her 1989 book My Turn: The Memoirs of Nancy Reagan. Miss Quigley fired back with a memoir titled What Does Joan Say?, a question she claims the former president habitually asked Mrs. Reagan. So what did Joan say about Iran-Contra or financing and arming the Taliban?
