Acting career
In 1940, a young Davis was featured as a National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis volunteer in a hit short subject film seen in movie theaters to raise funds for the fight against polio. The Crippler included a sinister figure on playgrounds and farms, yelling over its victims until they were finally dismissed by the volunteer. It was extremely effective in raising contributions.
Davis worked in Chicago as a sales clerk in Marshall Field's department store and as a nurse's aide after graduating from college. She began a career as an actress with the support of her mother's colleagues in theatre, including Zasu Pitts, Walter Huston, and Spencer Tracy. She appeared on Pitts' 1945 road tour of Ramshackle Inn before heading to New York City. In the 1946 Broadway musical about the Orient, Lute Song starring Mary Martin and a pre-fame Yul Brynner, she landed the role of Si-Tchun, a lady-in-waiting. "You seem to be Chinese," the show's producer told her.
Following a passing screen test, she moved to California and signed a seven-year deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM) in 1949; later, she remarked, "Joining Metro was like walking into a dream world." Her attractive appearance, centered on her large eyes, as well as her somewhat distant and understated demeanor made it difficult for MGM to cast and publicize at first. Davis appeared in eleven feature films, most commonly as a "loyal housewife," "ethical young mother," or "the steady woman." Jane Powell, Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Caron, and Janet Leigh were among the actresses for MGM roles.
Davis' film career began with small supporting roles in two films that were released in 1949, The Doctor and the Girl with Glenn Ford and The Girl with Barbara Stanwyck, the West Side. Ann Sothern and Zachary Scott, a child psychiatrist, appeared in the film noir Shadow on the Wall (1950) with Ann Sothern and Zachary Scott; her appearance was described as "beautiful and convincing" by New York Times critic A. H. Weiler. She appeared on The Next Voice You Hear... in 1950, portraying a pregnant housewife who hears God's voice on her radio. "Nancy Davis [is] delightful as [a] kind, plain, and understanding wife," Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote. Davis appeared in Night into Morning, her first film role, a study of bereavement starring Ray Milland. Davis "does fine as the fiancée who is widowed herself and knows the agony of mourning," Crowther said, while Richard L. Coe, a Washington Post reporter, said Davis "is a masterful widow." Davis was fired from her position in 1952, but she later married Reagan, kept her career name as Davis, and had her first child that year. She appeared in Donovan's Brain (1953), and Crowther said Davis, playing a befuddled scientist's "fully baffled wife," "walked through it all in utter confusion" in a "completely stupid" film. Hellcats of the Navy (1957), she played nurse Lieutenant Helen Blair and appeared in a film for the first time with her husband, portraying what one critic describes as "a housewife who came along for the ride." Davis, on the other hand, does her part well, and "does well with what she has to work with."
Davis was often underrated as an actor, according to author Garry Wills because her constrained appearance in Hellcats was her best seen appearance. Davis also debating her Hollywood aspirations: MGM's press release in 1949 said that her "highest dream" was to marry a "successful happy marriage; decades later, she would say, "I never thought I was going to marry because I hadn't found the man I wanted to marry, but not because I hadn't found the one I wanted to marry." I couldn't sit around and do nothing, so I became an actor." Lou Cannon, a Ronald Reagan biographer, also described her as a "dependable" and "solid" performer who appeared with better-known actors. Davis appeared in television dramas ranging from "The Long Shadow" (1961), where she appeared opposite Ronald Reagan, to Wagon Train and The Tall Man, until she retired as an actor in 1962.
Davis served on the board of directors of the Screen Actors Guild for nearly ten years during her tenure. Albert Brooks attempted to coerce her out of acting by giving her the role opposite himself in his 1996 film Mother. Debbie Reynolds appeared in order to care for her husband in order to care for her husband.
