In the realm of politics, Ronald Reagan was revered for his communication skills.

However, a former lover of his has now come forward with claims about his behavior in intimate relationships.

Actress Piper Laurie alleges that Reagan, despite his presidential stature, displayed a boastful and insensitive attitude in bed.

Following an encounter, he reportedly bragged about his prowess to Laurie, emphasizing his endurance.

Laurie recounts that when she expressed dissatisfaction, Reagan callously suggested she seek medical advice, asserting his own expertise in satisfying women.

Their paths crossed during the filming of the 1950 drama ‘Louisa,’ where Reagan, then 39, played Laurie’s father.

Despite the on-screen dynamics, a romantic relationship evolved between them off-camera.

Initially, Reagan appeared as a courteous gentleman, even seeking permission from Laurie’s mother before taking her out.

However, the scenario changed once they were alone, as Reagan’s demeanor shifted to that of a self-aggrandizing individual lacking finesse during intimacy.

Laurie vividly recalls Reagan’s focus on the duration of their encounter, proudly noting a specific timeframe.

When confronted by Laurie’s dissatisfaction, Reagan dismissively implied that she was at fault for not experiencing the expected pleasure.

Furthermore, Reagan’s crude attempt to emphasize his point by disclosing the cost of a condom used during their encounter added to Laurie’s discomfort.

In her memoir, Laurie reflects on her journey in the entertainment industry, highlighting instances where she challenged restrictive contracts that confined her to stereotypical roles.

Despite facing adversities, Laurie eventually earned recognition from both peers and critics for her versatile performances.

Notably, Gregory Peck commended Laurie’s acting prowess following their collaboration in ‘Other People’s Money’ in 1991, praising her portrayal as a profound and emotive revelation.

Laurie’s talent also garnered critical acclaim through multiple Academy Award nominations for her roles in acclaimed films such as ‘The Hustler’ (1961), ‘Carrie’ (1976), and ‘Children of a Lesser God’ (1986).

While Reagan transitioned from a successful acting career to a prominent political figure, Laurie’s enduring legacy in the film industry solidified her reputation as a respected and talented actress.
