     Document 16980

RONALD REAGAN. Partly Printed Check signed: "Ronald Reagan", 5¾x2½. Hollywood, Calif., 1948 June 11. Filled out by the 37-year-old actor to "Cash" for $100.00, drawn on the Bank of America. Five days earlier, wife Jane Wyman sued Reagan for divorce alleging "mental cruelty". Speculation about reasons for the breakup ranged from Reagan's obsession with politics (he had become President of the Screen Actors Guild just seven months earlier) and allegations of Wyman's affair with Lew Ayres, her co-star in Johnny Belinda for which she won the 1948 Academy Award for Best Actress. Red "B" written in pencil in unidentified hand, touches "d R" of signature. Two tiny cancellation holes just nick the first "R". Light pencil notes in 2 blank areas. Overall, fine condition.
