Ron Reagan

100 years ago this February, a ten-pound future president was born in Illinois, feet first. His name was Ronald Wilson Reagan. While he eventually came to be a household name, first as an actor, then as a politician, the details of Ronald Reagan's personal life have always been more or less private. Even his own son, Ron Reagan, wasn’t fully sure of his dad’s story, until he set out to learn more about him. 

Ron Reagan gives an intimate account of life with his father, Ronald Reagan, one of the most popular presidents in American history. In My Father at 100, he traces the sources of his father’s political values and offers a portrait of the man who became president, and his country.

Ron Reagan, son of President Ronald Reagan, talks about some of his favorite picks after a recent appearance on The Leonard Lopate Show.
