Ronald Reagan: Portrait of a President
"Ronald Reagan had a passionate belief in liberty, justice, and in the greatness of America."

Known as the 'great communicator', Reagan will be remembered for his humour and his political charm

Political soulmate, Lady Thatcher, was paying tribute - among many others - to the 40th president of the US.

Mr Reagan died aged 93 on 5 June, 2004, after a 10-year battle with Alzheimer's Disease.

Born in 1911 in Illinois, Ronald Wilson Reagan's life embodied the American dream.

"Dutch", as he was nicknamed by his father, was driven by ambition from an early age. He was a poor boy who not only made it as a Hollywood star but also, to the White House.

His big break in Tinsel Town came in 1937 when he signed a contract with Warner, although his epic performance was to be made elsewhere.

Fifty-four movies later, he landed his first leading role on the political stage, when he became governor of California in 1966.

His eyes were soon set on the presidency and in 1980, after a couple of false starts, his dream became reality.

Mr Reagan's eight years in office spanned triumphs and disasters. Although largely credited with ending the Cold War, he left office with a budget deficit larger than the combined total of all of his 39 predecessors.

This film looks at his early life and examines the highs and lows of his presidency.

Five years after leaving office, and struggling to conceal the deterioration of his health, he wrote an open letter to the American people.

In it, he said: "I have recently been told I am one of the millions of Americans who will be afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease... I now begin a journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life."

Ronald Reagan: Portrait of a President is broadcast in the UK on Thursday, 10 June, 2004 at 2100 BST, BBC Two.

AW: Früherer US-Präsident Ronald Reagan gestorben

Gefühle hin - Gefühle her aber um ehrlich zu sein - wenn ein Mensch in den USA oder anderswo stirbt dann interessiert es mich soviel, als wenn ein Reissack in China umfällt.

Auch wenn er Präsident war aber Mütter die Kinder alleine und selbstständig groß ziehen - davor ziehe ich viel mehr den Hut. Und würde das irgendwo erwähnt werden? Nein, denn sie waren keine Amis oder so.

Tut mir Leid aber ich weine keinen Menschen eine Träne nach der nur ein Oberhaupt eines von Menschenhand erstellten Systems war. Das ist es wahrlich nicht wert...
