ArchivesRe: My column on Reagan and Regan
in reply to a message by Retrospectre
When "The Exorcist" came out, Reagan had already been governor of California for four years, so everyone in California, including Hollywood, should have learned to pronounce his name as "Ray-gun" by then. :)

I was reading about whether Ronald Reagan was famous as an actor in 1955 when he was referenced in the movie Back to the Future, and someone explained his fame took a significant uptick when he started hosting General Electric Theater. His name was pronounced Raygun then! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3bDuCiFN2M .
