- The daughter of Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman wrote "First Father,First Daughter". She shares her growing years and the brutal abuse by her first husband. She talks about her mother Jane Wyman and going off to boarding school when she was seven.
She looks very kind hearted. Rest in peace.
She is so well-spoken and intelligent. Very lovely and dignified. Gone way too soon.
She looked like her mom in this interview. Sad she died from cancer.
Looking at this now, realizing that Ms. Reagan had just a dozen (roughly) years remaining to live, is kind of frightening. She was so young, smart, articulate and refreshing and she died at a time when it seems she still had so much left to offer the world. Even more tragic is the fact of her demise before both her parents, who lived into their nineties.
Maureen’s voice and demeanor is so charming and convincing. I see shades of both her parents bests personality traits.
Maureen was certainly intelligent lovely and charming. It is so sad she died young and never was able to achieve what she certainly would have. Maybe she would have been in Congress or some other political appointment. I think she ran for Congress once but lost. She was definitely her father's daughter. Seems like Jane Wyman was a less than stellar mother
Maureen wasn't old when she died but at 60, she wasn't young, and in fact had more than enough time to accomplish whatever she intended. She also had the resources. Ms. Reagan died at an age when most people are considering retirement, if they hadn't already retired.
She died of cancer, didn't she?
@@travelseatsyellowlab yeah. She wasn’t retiring...she was fighting for the disease her father, President Reagan got, Alzheimer’s. She also was super intelligent she probably could’ve run for something. So she died when she still could’ve achieved so much more. RIP.
Maureen was just as beautiful, intelligent, and classy as her mom!
She was a very nice lady god bless her rest in peace I hope you're reunited with dad
She really resembles her mother Jane Wyman! I loved Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman
Jane Wyman was a stellar actor. Regan. Mediocre actor. Less than mediocre President.
Maureen also has nearly all of her mother's expressions and mannerisms.
@@texan903 I observed that also.
She sparkled.
@@leemclaury6251 Maureen Elizabeth Reagan was born January 4, 1941 to Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan.
Yes and she was VERY VERY accomplished. The Bushes were jealous of Reagan’s popularity and tremendous political skills. They rarely mentioned his name. Their loss. So of course Bush administration would never have used Maureen. But Maureen never needed them.
@@herpaderp-bp4pe No, she passed away many years ago after a fierce battle with melanoma. She was a dynamic woman with a friendly & bubbly personality. She was also very close to her father and was a tireless political aide and campaigner.
@@herpaderp-bp4pe Sadly, she left here on August 8, 2001, aged just 60, survived by both her parents.
All the Reagan’s were/are such polite people! So rare to see these days.
well, two of them.
I closed my eyes, it’s like listening to her Mother.
I read Maureen's book, and I recommend it. Do you have the rest of this interview?
Jack Ryan she sound like a very nice lady god bless her god bless mr regan great president
Jack Ryan she looks like a nice lady god bless you rest in peace morren
What a class act! So much like her folks!
She was really pretty. Just like her Mom 🥰
Jane Wyman was Falcon Crest. I hated having to hate her as Angela Channing but it’s all because she was an extremely talented actress and the Oscar for Johnny Belinda, and theee other nominations proved it. Falcon Crest was the only nighttime soap with wit, humour, and those unexpected season ending plots. An planned reboot would be great but it will never be the same without Jane Wyman. RIP.
She has her mother's eyes.
Nice sentiment but she was adopted.
@@robertmartinjr8910 Maureen Reagan was not adopted Michael Reagan was adopted!
@@TitanicTubi Thank you. Earlier comments said she was adopted, but she sure looks like Jane Wyman. I couldn't remember if she was adopted her not (I did remember Michael WAS adopted.)
@@johnfd0210 No Maureen was not adopted Michael was.
@@TitanicTubi Yes. Thank you.
It's truly strange that Reagan's two adopted children seemed more comfortable and "naturally" theirs than their two biological children. If you studied both sets of kids, other than physical resemblance, you would assume that Maureen and Michael were the biological kids and Patti and Ron were the adopted ones. The adopted kids are just so much more like them. I've always found this astonishing.
They only had one adopted son, Michael. Maureen, Ron, & Patti were all biological, albeit from different Reagan marriages.👍🏽💯😊
She is an impressive lady. She would have made an interesting President.
She had to learn to survive being thrown into a very dysfunctional family situation. She kept her dignity. Bless her. She deserves to be in heaven.
We have a hiway in cincinnati named cross county hwy. They changed the name to ronald reagan hiway Maureen reagan came to cincinnati to dedacated to her father she was dead before u know it.
Victoria Louden
One of my favorite Presidential children!
Nice lady
OOLALAA WHAT THE INCREDIBLE DIFFERENT BETWEEN PATTI DAVIS & THIS DECEASED CHARMING DAUGHTER, OF SAME TIGHT END OR WIDE RECEIVER'S HOLES COPULATIONS RECIPES
Good Day..... What an amazing talk show. It seems so distant and I m not that old, a time where no matter the political aisle we could be decent towards one another, tolerant, polite, respectful, enjoy life, above all have important meaningful discussions. It angers me the lack of education, because of some evil people infiltrating our society and now in 2020 everything has changed horribly, the America post Obama'Presidency resemble more the Soviet Union turning people into social savages, or zombies, spewing antiAmerican, antisemitic garbage, people categorized though identity politics! Oprah who by this time was rich and famous, 30 yrs later even richer than then, goes around talking about "whitness", she is the worst, just pure evil!Sad
She resembles her mother, Jane Wyman
I swear I could smell hairspray during this video.
I imagine had she lived, wouldve couldve been the first female VP! Mccain couldve had her.....god had other plans. RIP maureen
Maureen Reagan had such a large personality, that no man would have had her as his VP. People were scared of her.
Mm. Uskip
We love President Reagan and President Bush and all of their families.
Except for Trump
ReeferCAChiefer Wrong! Reagan, as his son says, would have loved Trump. The non-conservatives Bushes are hardly popular at all anymore. The name Bush is pretty low in my Texas and it is happily TRUMP COUNTRY.
Uh Bushes will never be as loved and respected as Reagan.
Full of life .....what a shame she had to go quite young with sun caused skin cancer
Agreed - the contrast between President Reagan’s children from his marriage to Jane Wyman, on the one hand, and his marriage to Nancy Reagan, on the other hand, is quite striking!
@@robertfishman3742 His kids with Jane Wyman were more faithful to him... the others were hippies and radicals
gacj2010 Especially Patti - she seemed to go out of her way to embarrass the President.
@@robertfishman3742 True . Probably didn't want to be associated with a Republican by her peers
@@robertfishman3742 It's probably because they grew up in the 60's. Frankly both Ron Jr. and Patti could be quite nasty in discussing politics and their parents. Maureen was the complete opposite. She got along better with Nancy Reagan than her biological kids.
She looks like her mom.
Did she just call her own mom Jane? I mean I understand American culture and all but WTF.
Jane Wyman wasn't fully reared by her parents who eventually divorced. Afterward, she went to live with relative strangers, so she didn't have a true childhood experience and was forced to grow up quickly. I'm sure that impacted her maternal skills where her children were concerned. Maureen was shipped off to boarding school at age seven, so her childhood was effectively over from that point. It's sad when you think about it but she wasn't truly afforded the opportunity to develop a strong mother-daughter bond.
That's her name. We called our mom and dad by thear first names always all five kids. It's no big deal.
...You balk at that yet end your query with WTF.
🙄🤔👍🏽💯
I will be honest...I liked Reagan, his wives, his children...I do not understand their politics. I cannot, for the life of me, and I am not some bleeding heart do-gooder who thinks I am so more morally above self interest...but...I do not get where these privileged, well to do, people of money and connections, believe for one minute, they can identify with those who have not. I get it, you are self made, or are children of self made people...but in that, you of all people, should know, the struggle is real. desperation form poverty in real. hopelessness, homelessness, hunger, no heath care, is REAL...and your political lean, does not even care to address these social and moral issues, on your belief, government has not place in this. that the wealthy should not contribute more because they have more, because it is not their problem, or better yet, it is a punishment to those who are successful in life, to be expected to contribute more, because they made it, and others did not. wow...if government's duty is not to ensure the well being of its own citizens...then what good is it to us, other than being the big bully on the corner, protecting us form the boogie man who wants to hurt us. I mean that is a good thing...but is that all we get in government? if it is, it is a waste of all that money the government collect sin taxes, if addressing the direct needs of its people, means so little to those elected to leadership/ now, I am stepping down, off my soapbox. thank you.
Do you know anything about Ronald's background? Do some research before preaching.
Ronald Reagan came from extremely humble origins. He was truly a self-made many who had a remarkable life -- life guard, radio announcer , movie actor, head of his union, GE spokesperson, CA governor, POTUS. Unbelievable.
Bla bla bla the daughter of a traitor
shhh...adults are talking.
