The Former Mrs. Reagan Dies

Jane Wyman, a great actress and the former Mrs. Ronald Reagan died today at 93.
Miss Wyman was a classy lady who did not dish any dirt on her former husband when he was elected to be governor of California or president of the United States. When Mr. Reagan died in 2004, Miss Wyman said that "America lost a great president and a kind and gentle man."
In a strange twist, Miss Wyman's career had a revival when Mr. Reagan was elected to the White House in 1980.
Miss Wyman became the star of the 1980's night time soap opera, "Falcon Crest" as a cunning, ruthless wine owner in the Napa Valley of California.
But, because she believed that it was not right to talk about an ex-husband or ex-wife, we do not and will not know if there was anything bad between Miss Wyman and Mr. Reagan. And, that is how it should be.
It is a shame that in today's celebrity culture that is beyond narcissistic, these toads could learn something from the generation of Miss Wyman and Mr. Reagan and some of the great actors and actresses of all time.
CLASS!
Today, not too many entertainers do have class. They would rather talk about their pathetic, loser lives and diss others just to make themselves look good.
People of that era just did not think it was right and proper and I for one would like to return to that time.
But, as those from that era continue to leave us for the Glory of God, so too will the decency and class that was with them.
And, that was Jane Wyman, a class act.
