Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party, he became an important figure in the American conservative movement, and his presidency is known as the Reagan era.

In the 2024 movie, "Reagan", he was being prepared for a public appearance and was getting frustrated trying to remember dates and details. His advisor asked him what his favorite movie was. He replied, "The Sound of Music". It was suggested that they quit for the day and Reagan and his wife, Nancy, watch the movie that evening and relax.
