John Wayne Made Heart-Warming Phone Calls to Ronald and Nancy Reagan Every Morning After Bad Press – My Blog

Actors John Wayne and Ronald Regan both know what it’s like to be a star in Hollywood. The Western actor was undeniably the bigger movie star, but they both understood what it felt like to receive good and bad headlines in the press. As a result, Wayne kindly went out of his way to ensure that Reagan and his wife, Nancy, had a cheerful phone call to warm their hearts.Ronald Reagan took heat over a Hollywood strike

Reagan was once the president of the Screen Actors Guild, where he made quite some noise in a showdown with major studio executives over the residual payment system that remains in place. He had difficulty getting them to even engage in the conversation, let alone have any sort of intelligent negotiations.
As a result, Reagan took further measures and started an actors’ strike across Hollywood on March 7, 1960. Performers walked out of their jobs, causing productions around town to shut down. Over the course of the strike, there were numerous headlines slamming Reagan that started to have an impact on him and Nancy.John Wayne reached out to Ronald and Nancy Reagan every morning after bad press
The Reagan Foundation YouTube channel uploaded Reagan and Friends Season 1 Episode 7, which talked about Wayne. There, Reagan himself spoke about his positive feelings toward Wayne and told stories about their interactions with one another behind closed doors. The Western movie star went out of his way to develop a close friendship with the Reagans.

“I came home one day, and Nancy told me that she had a phone call that morning after I left,” Reagan said. “It was John Wayne, and John was also reading the papers. She had never met him. John said, ‘I thought you might want to hear a friendly voice about this time,’ and told her how supportive he was and so forth of what I was doing. And, he did that every morning, when the press was hostile, she could count on a call from John Wayne just to cheer her up.”
Wayne’s simple act of kindness touched the Reagans, which resulted in a lasting friendship.Ronald Reagan held the actor in high esteem
Reagan held Wayne in a very positive light. The Western movie star had his own issues with the press, especially when he didn’t join the draft during World War II. The movie star got an exemption due to his status as the sole provider of his family.
Nevertheless, Wayne created a “hero image” on the silver screen. He created war propaganda films, such as Sands of Iwo Jima, which helped to build morale. The actor came to stand for a certain segment of American morals and values, which Reagan connected with.
It took quite some time for Wayne to develop this reputation. His first leading role in 1930’s The Big Trail didn’t fair too well at the box office, then landing him in low-budget Westerns that he hated. He continued to work at his craft, collaborating with John Ford in iconic films, such as The Quiet Man, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and The Searchers.

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
