Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) "The Great Communicator" was the 40th President of the United States, and served for two terms (1981 to 1989). Before that he was the Governor of California from 1967 to 1975.
Between the 1930s and 1950s he gained public recognition as a radio, television and film actor. He served as president of the Screen Actors Guild (1947-1959). Later during the 1950s he became the spokesman for General Electric (GE) which ultimately opened the door to politics for him.
Ronald Reagan was a skilled and avid horseman, and was often photographed riding on his California ranch (aka the Western white house) during his presidency.
