Ronald Reagan is better remembered for his life in politics than his career in acting, but the former president was one of Tinseltown’s leading men in the 1940s and ‘50s. One of the most cringe-inducing rumors about Reagan’s time in Hollywood comes from Piper Laurie, his co-star in the 1950 dramaLouisa. The actress claims that the GOP icon took her virginity when he was 39 years old and she was only 18.
In her memoir, Laurie writes that she was first seduced by Reagan on the set of their film Louisa, in which he was playing her father. The actor was supposedly a gentleman at first and even asked Laurie’s mother for permission to take her on a date, but instead of the glamorous evening the actress had pictured, Reagan instead took them both to his house, where he cooked hamburger steak and salad.
Things got stranger when Reagan led her back to the bedroom. According to Laurie, the actor was “an insensitive show-off in bed,” and made sure to brag not only about the length of time he had already been erect (40 whole minutes), but also about how much his condom had cost.
Poor Ronnie . . . there’s really nothing in this story that makes him look good. Laurie also reports that the actor not only failed to pleasure her, but criticized her roughly when she told him so. “There’s something wrong with you that you should fix,” he supposedly retorted after she mentioned her lack of an orgasm.
