Former actress and first lady Nancy Reagan earlier today of heart failure. In 1946 (when she was just Nancy Davis), she appeared on Broadway in a musical titled Lute Song.
Rest in Peace

Or she could rest in knowledge of ignoring a little thing called AIDS. Just as relevant to the theater community as Lute Song?
Cue someone telling me it's not time to be "political"

This really, really should be on the Off-Topic board.

Certainly doesn't belong on this board, but what's with the exclamation point. That's pretty creepy.

It's worth mentioning that she was on Broadway once with Mary Martin and Yul Brynner.

I'm sure she learned a lot of her technique under Yul.
Nancy Reagan was a professional scold in the Bill Cosby and Bill Bennett mold. It just would not have looked right if she had helped out at all with this:

Is it worth it, though? Is it?

NO SLEEP UNTIL BROADWAY'S LIGHTS ARE DIMMED FOR NANCY.

I remember Nancy giving some speech while she was First Second Wife Lady and she began with an anecdote about the day she got her first fan letter as a young "actress" and how she was so proud she pinned it to her dress and wore it all around the studio the whole day and I thought, "You lying [censored], that never happened."

Yes, he hasn't had a platform to talk about himself for a couple of hours.

You must not follow his Facebook.
Loving the exclamation point in this thread title, btw

I actually think the story about the fan letter must be true. Certainly nutty, tho. "See? Everyone? It's my fan letter...right here. Do you want to see my fan letter? Oh, let me just lean over to reach the Jujubees at craft services so everyone wonder about this fan letter attached to my person. Oh, pardon me, you seem to have bumped into my fan letter...I sure hope Mr. Mayer visits the set today so I can show him my fan letter..."
