Gipper was no Ron Juan (Actress Piper Laurie claims she lost her virginity with Ronald Reagan)
New York Post ^ | 11/12/2011 | SUSANNAH CAHALAN

He wasn’t the “great communicator” in the sack.

Actress Piper Laurie describes Ronald Reagan -- who played her dad in a movie and then bedded the 18-year-old virgin off the set -- as an insensitive “show-off” in bed in her new memoir, “Learning to Live Out Loud.”

Laurie played the teenage daughter of the future president, then 39, in the 1950 film “Louisa.”

At the time, Reagan was no longer married to actress Jane Wyman and had not yet started dating Wife No. 2, the former Nancy Davis, when he started flirting with the ingenue, insisting she call him “Ronnie.”

“I was quite flattered by his fatherly attention,” said Laurie, who was later nominated for Oscars for her roles in “The Hustler,” “Carrie” and “Children of a Lesser God.”

The Gipper made his move on the starlet by inviting her to dinner, after getting permission from her mom.

Instead of taking her out, he cooked her dinner at his home, serving hamburgers.

“It was my first love affair,” she said.

But the bedroom romp later that night was “without grace.”

“He made sure I was aware of the length of time he had been ‘ardent.’ It was 40 minutes,” she writes. “And he told me how much the condom cost.”

Then, sensing Laurie was less than enthused by the experience, he insulted her.

“There’s something wrong with you. You should have had many orgasms by now -- after all this time. You’ve got to see a doctor,” he said.

Reagan may of been a jerk at that time. But, then again at that time he was a Democrat.

Young Piper was hot. Old Piper was a fat old hippie type.

Hey, we’ve all made mistakes. RIP Ronnie!

You just can't buy this kind of publicity.

Hugh Laurie is English. There is no connection except the last name. Piper had one child a daughter.

I heard a story from someone who knew someone who was on the set for Hellcats of the Navy. Nancy hung around the set to keep starlets away from Ron.

It also says much about the “Virgin’s Progress” amongst Hollywood males.

Hmm, someone can confirm this but, I’d bet $1 from the way this reads that this was the Gipper’s ‘Democrat’ days. Sure has the MO of a democrat.

We have one. What an interesting machine, except when that wire flipped off the reel.
Got it an estate sale, with a huge box of reels. Some woman was giving lectures about baby boomers (these lectures from are 1948). Her take on what was to come from this “group” was fascinating. Don’t know if she was a teacher or politician, all she did was state her name and date of the lecture and then started talking.
Which I could figure out where to put them on CDs.

Seemed she didn’t have a problem with showing her “dirty pillows” in her younger days.

LOL

There is nothing so personal that these Hollywood types won’t share it with the world. So she didn’t see fireworks, good sex is an acquired skill. Maybe she didn’t feel the chemistry, maybe she was uptight and nervous. It’s beyond tacky to speak ill of the dead and to hand out such intimate information.

OMG - he was 39 (a very young looking 39) and she was 18 (and living and working as a single adult), and neither one was married, and in spite of their 20 year age difference (another OMG!!!????), they had an intimate relationship!!??!!! /sarc

Can you just imagine anything worse to have happened to Ms. Laurie at the time?!?!?!?? /sarc

And of course, it was all “Ronnies” fault. /sarc

Is John Laurie, a British actor related to any of them?

Typical Liberal, right?

“He didn’t give me an orgasm.”

Sorry, sweetie, but you are responsble for your own orgasm. You didn’t get your cookie? That means you didn’t bother trying to bake one.

Talking about a dead guy about what a lousy lay he was probably means you were the ONLY person that could manage climbing “Mt. Piper Laurie”.

Malignant narcissism. Where have we seen that before?

The general guideline for this type of whackjob is, “If you are having sex, she’s speaking to you, and you can make out what she’s telling you, then you’re doing it wrong.”
