Who is Patti Davis? Ronald Reagan’s daughter
Ronald Reagan’s first child with his second wife Nancy is an American actress, author, and journalist by the name of Patricia Ann Reagan, also known as Patti Davis.
Seven months after getting married on March 4 of the same year, on October 21, 1952, Ronald and Nancy welcomed Patti into the world.
Patti pursued a career in acting like her father.
She began using her mother’s maiden name Davis in an effort to forge an own identity separate from that of her famous family.
Tango & Cash, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Simon & Simon are among the movies she has acted in.
Patti has published her work as a journalist in The Washington Post, Newsweek, The New York Times, and TIME.
She signed her first publishing contract and published her debut book, Home Front, in 1986.
Patti is a member of the Democratic Party, in contrast to her family’s political allegiance with the Republican Party.
