Much like her husband, she was a Hollywood actress-turned prominent political figure.

In celebration of what would have been Nancy Reagan's 100th birthday, Fox News' Chris Wallace recounts the glamorous and controversial life of the former first lady – from her childhood as a backstage baby, to her own Hollywood career, to her marriage to Ronald Reagan and her long run as the consummate political spouse and guardian of the Reagan legacy.

Wallace joined "Fox & Friends" Tuesday to discuss the exclusive Fox Nation special, "Nancy Reagan: An American Story."

"One of the treasures of my long career… was that I spent six years covering the Reagans," Wallace told co-host Pete Hegseth. "I really would say that she [Nancy] was a partner in power."

I am sure Wallace will bash the Reagans somehow.

“Controversial”

Fox News is scum.

[gloryblaze]

I read her autobiography as well as President Reagan's. Both were excellent. I still peruse them often, and highly recommend them.

No thanks; we don't need Mr. Wallace's take.

[PGR88]

Nancy Reagan was only controversial because the media sought was engaged in a political effort to disparage, humiliate and scandalize her husband

[Vision]

Nancy Reagan was not controversial, good grief Wallace is a joke.

[bray]

Can’t wait to miss this hit job.

[1Old Pro]

Chris Wallace is quite annoying, this will be impossible to watch. He appears to be sniveling as he speaks.

Clint Eastwood: Just Say No

Clint Eastwood appears in an anti-crack public service announcement with First Lady Nancy Reagan.

[Flick Lives]

Chris Wallace.

They say talent skips a generation.

I only read the snippet here on FR, but I imagine he was kind to her legacy. About 5 years ago or so I listened to Mark Levin remark how he knew Wallace was a good guy when listening to to him speak of Nancy at the Reagan Library. Mark Levin, as good as he is, has an amazing blind spot when it comes to anything Reagan. Wallace is awful and we all know it, but I’m guessing he tried to butter up Reagan conservatives by talking nice about her, like he’s done in the past.

[dfwgator]

It’s the typical Liberal spiel: “Why can’t Trump be more like Reagan”.

[1Old Pro]

Chris Wallace. They say talent skips a generation.

And, it takes only one generation to recklessly spend the fortune (reputation) that the previous generation earned.

[robel]

Chris makes a desperate attempt to win back conservative viewers. No thanks, said the fly to the spider.

[the OlLine Rebel]

LOL it’s not just a liberal question.

Esp. When many make it as if Trump is the second coming of Jesus. Or at least George Washington.

[PghBaldy]

His father was friends with Nancy, or so I’ve read.

[PghBaldy]

I was going to link a 1989 interview of Nancy by Mike, but the link is now bad and goes to stupid Paramount+

[AU72]

I’ll check it out when he covers former First Lady Michael.

[Georgia Girl 2]

The press was despicable to Nancy Reagan.

[Dan in Wichita]

Has the media ever described Hillary Clinton as controversial? I don’t believe so.

[a fool in paradise]

Journalists don’t want to wake up whacked.
