Biography* The son of a shoe salesman, Ronald Reagan was born in Illinois in 1911. Said Reagan, "We didn't live on the wrong side of the tracks, but close enough to hear the train whistles." Reagan was a construction worker, a life guard, radio announcer and actor. After serving in the airforce he returned to acting, becoming known as "the Errol Flynn of the B-movies." He eventually served as president of the Screen Actors Guild and during his tenure became active in politics. The Republican party was impressed with his political views and charisma and Reagan, who had not held public office before, was elected Governor with their backing. During his term in office, Reagan approved the construction of an elaborate new Governor's Mansion. However, construction was not completed until after he left office. Reagan holds the distinction of being the only California governor to become President of the United States.
