Nancy Davis, Actress

Her film career baffles me. She wasn't traditionally pretty or sexy, and just a competent actress. Yet she was signed- to a contract at MGM!

"Following her graduation from college, Davis held jobs in Chicago as a sales clerk in Marshall Field's department store and as a nurse's aide. With the help of her mother's colleagues in theatre, including ZaSu Pitts, Walter Huston, and Spencer Tracy, she pursued a professional career as an actress. She first gained a part in Pitts' 1945 road tour of Ramshackle Inn, moving to New York City. She landed the role of Si-Tchun, a lady-in-waiting, in the 1946 Broadway musical about the Orient, Lute Song, starring Mary Martin and a pre-fame Yul Brynner. The show's producer told her, "You look like you could be Chinese."

After passing a screen test, she moved to California and signed a seven-year contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM) in 1949, she later remarked, "Joining Metro was like walking into a dream world." Her combination of attractive appearance—centered on her large eyes—and somewhat distant and understated manner made her hard at first for MGM to cast and publicize. Davis appeared in eleven feature films, usually typecast as a "loyal housewife", "responsible young mother", or "the steady woman". Jane Powell, Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Caron, and Janet Leigh were among the actresses with whom she competed for roles at MGM."

Jane Wyman had four other husbands besides Reagan. Apparently she couldn't just say no either.

by Anonymousreply 20January 14, 2018 6:34 PM

Even beyond the cocksucking: though pretty, she wasn't exceptionally beautiful and she certainly was not glamorous, but the studios needed women in the early 1950s to play housewives, and those were almost entirely the roles Nancy was given. (You couldn't have Arlene Dahl or Elizabeth Taylor as a very believable ordinary housewife.) Indeed, sometimes people got so sick of the MGM glamour gals always being foisted on them that someone as ordinary looking as June Allyson could become a big star just by NOT looking like that. Although Nancy Davis was prettier than June Allyson, she wasn't as charismatic as Allyson, and so she mostly got loser roles until she became Ronald Reagan's wife--and then she was given the role of a lifetime.

MGM didn't just sign glamorous leading ladies and gentlemen. They needed competent regular-looking Joes and Joannes to play the character parts, the sidekicks, the villains, and to be the B-picture and short film players. Nancy had that "supportive wife" look about her, so she was frequently cast in those parts.

I think you're mixing up stories. When someone wrote that she had "piano legs" she went into hiding for several days because she was so depressed, but I don't think she had anyone thrown off a place for that.

Where did Nancy get the reputation for being an expert cocksucker? Just curious, was it in someone’s autobiography? It’s not a bad thing to be be but you don’t want to be famous for it. Or do you?

She did r37 (or at least was suspicious) and she hated Nancy. The Sinatras came to one of the first White House State Dinners. Nancy sat Frank next to her and Barbara in Siberia. There's a picture from that night that shows Frank and Nancy dancing closely and Reagan trying to cut in.

The Kitty Kelley book is required reading for any DL'er. Nancy was a grade A cunt, and Kitty did not find one redeeming quality.

by Anonymousreply 42January 14, 2018 7:46 PM

Apparently the secret of her success in life and love was that she'd wait until a guy was ready to cum, and then she'd plunge two fingers up his ass. They never knew what hit them. And then, of course, after they exploded they realized what had happened and she'd smile, like her fingers and say, "We wouldn't anyone to know our little secret about how you really like to get off, would we?"

Ka-CHING.

I don't think she lasted long at MGM. She was too old to be a starlet and they had plenty of other girls next door with more talent. She ended her career in drek like Donovan's Brain and Hellcats of the Navy (with Ronnie). The Reagan library had an exhibit on her movie career--it wasn't very large and it would have been obvious to Helen Keller that Nancy didn't have much of a career. No mention of the blow jobs, though.

Kitty Kelly has lots of documentation of the b-j queen. I loaned the book to someone who never returned it, but after Nans visited one of the studio big-shots, there was always a used condom in the wastebasket.

She really was a talentless whore. It says a lot when your own daughter has herself sterilized.

by Anonymousreply 62January 15, 2018 1:28 AM

The only reason she had even an extremely modest acting career was due to her privileged background. John Houseman, the director of the Broadway show Lute Song wanted to fire Miss Davis. However, herstep father Dr. Loyal Davis was good friends with Mary Martin (I believe she may have stayed with him once while touring) and Mary insisted that Nancy stay. The same with her film career. In early 1949 someone at MGM noticed her and she was sent to Hollywood for a screen test. Her stepfather called old friend Spencer Tracy and told him to keep an eye on her. Tracy arranged for George Cukor to direct the screen test (can you imagine Cukor, the best and most famous director at MGM, directing screen tests?). After the test, Cukor insisted she wasn't good enough for a contract, but Tracy insisted she be hired and so she was. After Nancy became First Lady, Cukor would say about her career in films, "If I had a nickel for every Jew that Nancy was underneath, I would be a rich man."

I know it's an unpopular opinion on here, but I thought she wasn't a bad actress at all. She had a very low key style that worked well, especially in retrospect. She wasn't an exciting actress, or a very pretty one, but she was certainly more than competent. That said, she was a truly horrible human being.
