Nancy Reagan to Sign Books at Library

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan plans to spend part of the day after her 45th wedding anniversary at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Wednesday, signing copies of her autobiography, library officials say.

Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis married on March 4, 1952, at the Little Brown Church in the Valley. The late actor, William Holden, served as Ronald Reagan’s best man, while his wife, Ardis Holden, was Nancy Davis’ matron of honor.

Nancy Reagan will be in the museum bookshop from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., signing copies of “My Turn.” As for the wedding anniversary itself, the Reagans will celebrate at home in Bel-Air on Tuesday, according to the former president’s staff.

Anyone who attends Wednesday’s book-signing is invited to sign a giant anniversary card for the Reagans.

Proceeds from sales of the autographed books benefit the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, which supports the library/museum and the Ronald Reagan Center for Public Affairs.

The library, at 40 Presidential Drive near Simi Valley, is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
