our country around after the disastrous presidency of jimmy carter. reagan needed to be strong and determined. what i wrote my book, killing reagan, i portrayed much of the president s drive. i recently talked with actor tim matheson, who played ronald reagan,mu the 40th president, in a nat geo film, killing reagan. why would i risk losing everything if i can get 75% of what i want? the last time i checked, i am in control here. so, did you know a lot about ronald reagan when he was in office? you know, i was politically minded. i must say, he won me over. he is the only republican i ever voted for. m as president? so you are a liberal-minded guy? yeah. most of hollywood obviously is. some of them are pinheads, some of them aren t. we don t mind if you are liberal, as long as you are a thinking liberal. i am independent. i vote for some democrats if i think they are the best problem solvers. now, what did reagan do to winar you over?ts
