Early life and education

Reagan was born in Los Angeles on May 20, 1958, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He is Ronald Reagan's second son and his second wife, Nancy Davis Reagan. From 1967 to 1975, the family lived in Sacramento, California, when his father was governor. Patti Davis, his brother, is five and a half years old. Michael Reagan, his older brother who was adopted as an infant by Ronald Reagan and his first wife, Jane Wyman, is 13 years older. Maureen Reagan (1941–2001), and Christine Reagan, who was born prematurely on June 26, 1947, died on the same day. Ronald Reagan, Reagan's father, used the name O'Regan in Europe at an early age. Peerage of Burke provided the Reagans with their family tree, but there was no direct link to European royalty.

Ron Reagan took a different philosophical and political path from his father at an early age. He told his parents that he would not go to church anymore because he was an atheist at 12 years old.

He commented:

After a year as a student at Yale University in 1976, Reagan dropped out to become a ballet dancer. He joined the Joffrey Ballet in pursuit of his lifelong passion and was active in the Joffrey II Dancers, a company for beginning dancers, where he was mentored by Sally Brayley. In 1980, Time wrote, "It is well known that Ron's parents haven't managed to see a single ballet performance of their son, who is obviously brilliant having been accepted to the Joffrey second company but is also their son." Ron has a great deal of affection for his parents. But these absences are strange and go back a long way." On Monday, May 18, 1981, the Reagans attended Ron's appearance at the Lisner Auditorium. Ron's performance, according to the elder Reagan, who wrote in his White House diary on this day, was "darn good" and reminiscent of Fred Astaire.

Reagan, who was 22 and married by the time his father took office, had never lived in the White House. One year and a half into his father's presidency, he dropped his Secret Service protection.

Personal life

Reagan was born in Seattle, Washington. Doria Palmieri, a clinical psychologist, married him in 1980. She died of neuromuscular disease in 2014 in a neuromuscular disorder. They had no children at the time. Federica Basagni was married in July 2018.

In a 2004 New York Times interview, Reagan said he did not have any faith but that his sympathies were with Buddhism, and that his wife was a Buddhist. Ron Reagan said, "I'm an atheist [...] I can't be elected to anything," he said in an interview with CNN show Larry King Live on June 23, 2004.

He was named to the Freedom From Religion Foundation's Honorary Board of distinguished achievers in February 2010. Reagan starred in a spot on Comedy Central for the Freedom From Religion Foundation in May 2014, in which he said himself "an unashamed atheist" who is "not afraid of burning in Hell." The commercial gained renewed interest in October 2019 when it aired on CNN during the fourth Democratic presidential debate in 2020. The commercial appeared during CNN Democratic debates in January and March 2020.

Career

Reagan hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in February 1986.

Since his father left the White House in 1989, Reagan became more political. The younger Reagan's views were unashamedly liberal in comparison to his father. Ron said in a 2009 Vanity Fair interview, he did not speak out against his father's term because the media "never cared about my views as such, only as they related to him," adding that he did not want to give the appearance that he and his father were on bad terms due to political differences. Reagan hosted The Ron Reagan Show, a syndicated late-night talk show covering political topics of the day, but it was scrapped after a short run because of lower ratings of The Arsenio Hall Show Starring Johnny Carson and Nightline.

Reagan has spent time as a magazine reporter and has hosted talk shows on cable TV networks like the Animal Planet network. He is best known for co-presenting Record Breakers (based on the Guinness Book of Records) for the BBC in the United Kingdom. Each week, Reagan released a study from the US.

He has served on the board of the Creative Coalition, a group that was founded in 1989 by Susan Sarandon and Christopher Reeve, to politically mobilize entertainers and artists, particularly for First Amendment rights and public education. Reagan co-hosted the talk show Connected: Coast to Coast with Monica Crowley on MSNBC from February to December 2005.

Air America Media carried The Ron Reagan Exhibition from 2010 to 2010. On September 8, 2008, the program made its debut.

My Father at 100: A Memoir, a memoir by Robert Myrn in 2011. Reagan in interviews promoting the book said that noticing his father was having certain mental lapses, which, in hindsight, led him to believe that his father may have been suffering from Alzheimer's disease while still in office. Critics, including Michael Reagan's brother, had sluggishly attacked this assertion. Ron Reagan later said that he did not believe the lapses were evidence of "dementia."
