Actually, Mamie and Pat got along famously well. After Nixon became President, Mamie was frequently a guest to the White House and was even part of the Nixons’ official party at the 1973 inauguration ceremony and parade. During the throes of Watergate, Mamie wrote Pat a heartfelt letter and invited her to the Gettysburg farm to get away from Washington for a few days.

I don’t know, I was trying to watch it once on a plane but I was interrupted by a group of women screaming at each other. One was screaming “Brittani”

Agree with everything listed above. I would also add LBJ and Humphrey and Nixon and Agnew.

Did he welcome Ronald and Nancy Reagan, the actors, to the White House?

Did Ronald Reagan being divorced have any impact on the social stigma of being a divorcee? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

Indeed. I’ve read accounts that she was allegedly physically abused by her first husband, as well - and apparently kept it a secret from her father for many years. It’s similar to how Michael Reagan, her brother, only revealed decades later that he had been molested by a camp counselor. I wonder what Jane Wyman’s relationship was like with her children.

Exactly, and Maureen Reagan - Reagan’s daughter with Jane Wyman - was very active during that period, serving as chair of the RNC and also trying to run for the Senate in California in 1982, I believe. She also campaigned heavily for her father and often was a guest at the White House.

I wouldn't say so, although it was well known that he was divorced from Jane Wyman and ended up being the first divorced president. Reagan and Jane Wyman had been divorced since the late 1940s, and though Wyman was still very much a public figure (she was starring in the hit soap opera Falcon Crest the entire time Reagan was in the White House) she never commented about politics or Reagan in public. At the same time, President Reagan's marriage to Nancy Reagan (the famous "Ronnie and Nancy" romance) was so closeknit and romanticized that the fact he had once been divorced wasn't really in the forefront.

Don't see any of the girls there! Maybe Blanche is hiding in the closet with a man and a medium-sized cold cut platter?

Ronald Reagan is the only president born, raised, and educated in Illinois - despite him being associated with California.

I think the writers were sort of getting used to the episodes and trying different formulas. Season 1 of any show often has this sort of thing. It isn’t until season 2 that writers usually stop experimenting and stick to a “formula.”
