With the passing of the former First Lady Nancy Reagan earlier this week, there has been a renewed interest in the life and times of the wife, mother, actress and style icon, born Anne Frances Robbins. A lover of refinement and haute couture, she was the driving force behind the return of 'Kennedy-style' glamour and charm to the White House after years of casual informality (this book gives you a birds-eye view at how she kicked it up a few notches on the entertaining level at the White House during the Reagan years). I was eager to take a peek at the home she once shared with her beloved Ronnie before they left the Pacific shores for Capitol Hill in 1981.
I always thought she was kind of like the west coast version of Lee Radziwill's sister (yes I am talking about Jackie Kennedy but Lee has never gotten enough credit for just being 'Lee' in my opinion so I refuse to call Jackie anything other than 'Lee's sister')
The few photos I have seen of their actual home look just like I expected, polished and refined just like Mrs. Reagan herself.
I've never actually seen a picture of the Reagan's looking at each other and not smiling! Their love for each other was truly inspirational!
The Reagan home, the epitome of mid-century laid-back Hollywood style, was raised years ago and in its place stands the current 10,000 square-foot home that stands in its place, which happens to be on the market today for a cool 33 million!
Definitely a beautiful home but I think I prefer the original!
