Nancy Reagan, born on July 6, 1921, in New York City, was originally named Anne Frances Robbins. She was the daughter of a salesman's father and a homemaker mother. Her early life was marked by frequent relocations due to her father's job, leading her family to settle in Maryland. Nancy attended Smith College, where she studied drama, eventually leading her to a career in acting.
Throughout the 1940s, she appeared in several films, but it was her marriage to Ronald Reagan in 1952 that significantly changed her trajectory. While Ronald pursued his career in politics, Nancy supported him and took on the role of a political spouse. As First Lady from 1981 to 1989, she became known for her "Just Say No" drug awareness campaign, which aimed to combat drug abuse among youth.
