Ronald Reagan was a racist pedophile?

Interview with Linda Richman (toolk amongst yaselves)?

Poo poo 💩

Ronald Reagan was never A/A+ as an actor. He never got higher than B.

There was a joke the first time he was running for president in 1976 that some former studio head saw a sign that said "RONALD REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT," and he turned to the person next to him and said, "No... Jimmy Stewart for President; Ronald Reagan for President's Best Friend."

Oh wait. I didn't read the OP's post properly--never mind. Sorry.

I recently read Kitty Kelley's Nancy Reagan bio. Everything bad you've ever heard about the Reagans is true.

I think Reagan even admitted he was a lousy actor and never much of a movie star.

Reagan popped Piper Laurie's cherry when she was still a teen (he was in his thirties), so I believe it.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I wonder if Glenn Ford and Reagan had gang bangs with William Holden and teenage girls?

Glenn Ford was reportedly furious that the chosen godparents for Peter Ford were Pearl Bailey and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, close friends of Eleanor Powell.

Sleeping with teenagers is not pedophilia, though

It has been noted repeatedly that CDaN is run by a right wing troll who knows no gossip but just makes outlandish claims.

Reagan was most definitely a racist.

Reagan signed the law making MLK day a national holiday even though he resisted for as long as he could. Dr. King's late daughter once reminisced that she was thrilled that Reagan had to sign the bill into law because she knew that Reagan hated her father. It was bittersweet revenge.

Ronald Reagan having sex with teenage girls and saying racist and anti-Semitic things is the least surprising news ever.

They were all drug addicts too with Nancy putting silver platters and bowls of all types of drugs.

Eleanor Powell was an A+ star at Metro in the latter part of the 30s. Maybe a great mother but ruthlessly ambitious as in her career. She has some of the most remarkable sequences in musicals.

Well, r8, can you blame her for going off the deep end?

How was she *ruthless*, r16?

Actually it was Gail Fisher, not Chelsea Brown, whom Ford refused to sit with at the Academy Awards ceremony.

"There was a joke the first time he was running for president in 1976 that some former studio head saw a sign that said "RONALD REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT," and he turned to the person next to him and said, 'No... Jimmy Stewart for President; Ronald Reagan for President's Best Friend."'

Incorrect. The comment comes from Warner Bros' Jack Warner in the 1960s when Reagan was Calif gov. Warner was asked about Reagan as president.

"No. HENRY FONDA as President, Ronald Reagan as his best friend."

This is a well known commonly told old story that no one here gets right. Warner told it in movie terms, "as: president, not for president.

Little Ronnie Reagan! (puff-puff)

Bette Davis was probably relieved to be acting with Ronald Reagan rather than Ross Alexander, who was an obsessed stalker of Bette and whose career Reagan was slotted into when Ross shot himself in 1937.

[quote] Ronald Reagan was a racist pedophile?

Duh!

[R16] I’ve read Glenn Ford was the ruthless one. Eleanor Powell’s fans claim he married her to advance his career, for her money and for her connections within the Hollywood community. She was older than him and his career didn’t really take off until he hooked up with her. Makes me wonder if he used those tapes to blackmail people.

R23 MTE

Harry S Truman was a racist pedophile?

Ellie tried to get people removed or cut from films if they were female and she felt upstaged her. I'm a very big fan so I don't like reading this stuff.

Who is Ellie?

[Quote] Who is Ellie?

Ellie May Clampett, Rose.

If he was into teenage girls he was no pedophile. And face it, if you gave the opportunity to deflower a 16 or 17 year old girl with no repercussions to 75% of straight men, they'd jump at the chance.

Glenn Ford really has been forgotten has he? I had to look him up as not even his face looked familiar.

Glenn Ford has been forgotten because he didn't do anything memorable.

Rita Hayworth danced around him and he looked like a mute, short spigot.

Glenn Ford’s face appears on the wall of Leo’s house in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood behind Brad Pitt in the fight scene,

R33 He was 6 feet tall.

Well his son admitted that Ford played it safe by being on a long-term contract. So that's his excuse for getting lousy roles, but I'm not convinced this short man had much to give.

They’re all pedos.

R36 Is 6 feet tall considered short on your planet?

[quote] He was 6 feet tall.

Well, he LOOKED short. And I bet he couldn't make conversation either!

Did he ever go shirtless?

I wish I could get lousy roles which included five films which were selected for preservation by the Library of Congress.

R39 He had a huge cock according to his lovers and the guys who worked wardrobe on his films. Don’t know about the shirtless thing.

[quote] huge cock

We never got to see that.

I’m guessing the ladies didn’t do much talking to him.

Piper Laurie failed to mention the size of Reagan’s cock.

Glenn Ford was as attractive as George Brent.

Who’s George Brent? Never heard of him.

R17 They’re all going to laugh at you!!!

Brando said he loathed him in his autobiography, the feeling was mutual according to Anna Kashfi’s book. She claimed Ford constantly whispered dirty limericks in her ear when they worked together and had her kicked off a film.

I wonder if Eleanor ever brought her harmonica with her?

I was a close friend of Eleanor "Ellie" Powell, and she was great friends with those with whom she worked and her sets were almost always "trouble free". She was a driven perfectionist when it came to giving her all with her dancing, but she had no allusions about being a great actress. She also had a work ethic and felt that each person involved in a film - both in front of and behind the camera - contributed equally toward a film's success.

She remained close with many of the females who appeared in her films including Una Merkel, Rita Johnson, Virginia O' Brien, Frances Langford and June Knight among others.

R50 I read the same about Eleanor. Nobody ever had anything negative to say about her. Maybe that poster is confusing her with someone else?

I love Eleanor Powell. She is really beautiful on film too.

[quote] Reagan popped Piper Laurie's cherry when she was still a tee

He took her with the stink of filthy roadhouse whisky on his breath. And she liked it. SHE LIKED IT!!!

Well, r52, she was very pretty and had a lovely smile. Same with Julie Andrews. Problem is, neither had vavoom..

I was the one who said Powell tried to get people cut from her film. And I hope I am completely wrong because I am a huge fan. I read a interview with a child dancer (honestly read this a long time ago and I wish I remembered who it was.) She said that Powell wanted her cut from the film. It came down to an argument with the producer and the producer held his ground. All of a sudden Powell was very sweet to her.

I also read that Powell had one of Garland's numbers cut from a Broadway Melody film. I sincerely hope this is all bullshit. I would be happy to take it all back.

R54 It really doesn't matter. They were both stars as big as they get.

Glenn Ford was such a nasty rancid racist, I've never been able to watch any but one of his films. Not even [italic]Gilda,[/italic] despite my love for Rita Hayworth. I did make it through [italic]Blackboard Jungle[/italic] thanks to my lifelong unrequited lust for Sidney Poitier and Richard Kiley.

My 93-year old Dad, who talks bad about no one, ever, utterly detests Glenn Ford.

R56 Did your dad meet him? Sounds like a very personal grudge. Sidney Poitier claims they were good friends. Why would he spend time hanging out with a racist?

R56

I read that Jimmy Stewart and Robert Mitchum were two of the biggest racists in Hollywood.

"but she had no allusions"

Oh, dear..

I know that certain sorts of women and QAnon types and young people think a man sleeping with a teenage girl is pedophilia, but it's not. It's grotesque and abusive but it's not pederasty.

Reagan most certainly slept with teen starlets, I'd imagine every straight actor did. A lot of those girls were pretty young when they started out, and were expected to put out.

It's been a while but somewhere I read that Reagan put the moves on Shirley Temple when they were in a movie together, and I want to say Shirley herself told the story.

As mentioned in that thread r19 linked, Pearl Bailey was his son's godmother and he was good friends with Sidney Poitier, so the racism accusations seem a little off.

Mel Torme mentioned in that tell-all about Judy that Glenn was the one who came and got Judy from Mel's house, threatened Mel if he'd hurt Judy in any way, and took her home and got her cleaned up enough that several hours later she came to work looking just fine. Plenty of other sources say he helped stabilize her. But like a lot of addicts, she was too difficult to manage for just one person (especially someone without any actual training in dealing with addicts) so their relationship didn't last.

Ronald Reagan was such a pig. Nancy was one of the biggest cocksuckers in Hollywood.

Pretty sure most of our presidents have been racist pedophiles.

(R 55) ON a personal note (and I erred and meant illusions (R 60) my mistake), Eleanor was very fond of Judy and remained friendly with her for the rest of her life.

She attended a number of Judy's performances on-stage and was someone Judy vented to when her marriage to Sid Luft hit some stormy times.

As noted on Wikipedia: "Luft's first Hollywood assignment was as the secretary and manager of dancer Eleanor Powell."

Eleanor was someone who understood the dark side of Luft and therefore sympathized with what Judy was going through, also recognizing that some of Judy's emotional issues created rifts in the marriage.

The only time on-record that Eleanor asked to have someone's scenes cut in a film was a half joking remark she made to Director Woody Van Dyke during the 1937 filming of the musical, "Rosalie". Eleanor Van Dyke if Nelson Eddy's scenes could be cut. When the film was released, many critics agreed that the 36 year old Eddy portraying a West Point Cadet and football player, boggles the imagination and that he'd rarely been more wooden on the screen.

[quote] Pretty sure most of our presidents have been racist pedophiles.

How do people not know what a pedophile is?

Having sex with an “underage” (laws vary from state to state and country to country on that definition) *teenage* girl is not “pedophilia”. JFC

R23 Another person that doesn't know what pedophilia is.

"Piper Laurie failed to mention the size of Reagan’s cock."

Piper Laurie said Reagan raped her when she was a virgin.

R27 Don't you DARE even joke about or besmirch the name of Harry S Truman! He's my sweetheart. Seriously I love him. I have a real signed photograph of Truman in my home and everything. One of my favorite quotes of his is as follows: "Three things can ruin a man: power, money and women. I never wanted power, I never had any money, and the only woman in my life is up at the house right now." He's a doll.

Are you planning anything special for your upcoming birthday centennial, R50?

I think we can all agree that it is amoral and appalling to think of a lecherous middle aged man deflowering an innocent teenage girl. But it really does a disservice to CHILDREN to label any and all sex between a person above the age of 18 and a person under the age of 18 as "pedophilia." This term is very specific as to the age range it connotes and it's dangerous and irresponsible to use the term "pedophile" and "pedophilia" out of its proper context. Everyone knows the term is referring to prepubescent children, and yet it gets banded about in such a lazy and lax manner so often, both here on DL, and everywhere the fuck else, that the word "pedo" seems to be always on the verge of becoming a meme. We must resist the urge to use the term casually so that we do not decondition ourselves to the real horror of what it signifies.

The Queen of Tap

Nancy was so startled by these revelations she looked up suddenly and there was a loud, liquidy plopping noise.

[quote] [R27] Don't you DARE even joke about or besmirch the name of Harry S Truman!

I'm sorry, I'm a millennial.

I may have meant that other guy who came before him

R74 Lol it's okay, I was feigning mock anger. But I do love Truman and I do have that photo I mentioned. He might have been one of the most humble and ethical presidents we've ever had. I also know that when he left office he had some quotes to the effect of "Every day that I'm not the president anymore is a good day. "HA! It's hard. Especially if you're actually trying to stay honest and serve the people. It's a thankless task. Truman also never gave speeches after he left office. He did not think it was right to profit off of the presidency. Boy they sure don't make 'em like THAT anymore.

I have an issue with the term pedophile itself because if I'm not mistaken phile means love and adults who have sex with children do not love them at all, quite the opposite.

Harry Truman was a racist as well. He did sign the bill that ended segregation in the Armed Forces, but wasn’t it something FDR was planning to do anyway?

Never cared for Glenn Ford, but maybe he didn’t want to sit next to Gail Fisher for another reason?

An actor of the 50s was a racist, pedo? Color me shocked! The guy was empty between the ears, he wasn't a real president, just a face for the soulless right to use while the forced through their policies.

I don't know if he was a racist pedophile but he certainly was a SENILE B actor.

What other reason, r77? That she was planted there by Mannix who was trying to get info on behalf of Miss Eleanor Powell?

R77 Ford’s son mentions the Gail Fisher incident in his book, he said it had nothing to do with her, anyone could have been sitting there, he had a fight with some politician who was attending the ceremony and he wanted to sit next to his son and talk to him because he was pissed off about it.

This thread mainly reads as to be sour grapes or just uninformed gossip.

I will say that the picture of Glenn Ford with his two dogs made me smile and I'm not into older men.

That perfectly describes 99% of the threads on DL.

The picture of Glenn Ford with his two dogs definitely helped me understand his charm and appeal. I can see why so many women and men fell for him.

R68 Piper Laurie said they had sex and she complained that he didn’t give her an orgasm. She never said he raped her or forced her. I haven’t read her book, but her account in the online articles that I’ve read never mentions anything about rape.

Explosive Facts About Glenn Ford, The Star with a Secret

On screen, Glenn Ford seemed like the Hollywood everyman—but behind the scenes, his life was extraordinary. From his time in WWII to his many…and we mean many Hollywood romances, Ford lived a life marked by both glamour, heartbreak and a chilling obsession. And all the while, he kept a dark secret that he didn’t tell anyone—not even his lovers and close confidantes. Here are devious facts about Glenn Ford, the star with a secret.

Peter Lawford said that Nancy Reagan gave good head.

R86 What did Lawford say about Judy’s cocksucking skills?

The young Glenn Ford.

If Ronald Reagan was a racist pedophile, then Norman Lear would have voted for him.
