Born July 6, 1921 in New York City as Anne Frances Robbins, the future First Lady of the United States was enjoying a film career, as Nancy Davis, when she married Ronald Reagan in 1952, who at that time was president of the Screen Actors Guild. She served as First Lady beside her husband during his two terms in office, from January 1981 to January 1989. During her years of service as First Lady, one of her primary interests was recreational drug prevention and the founding of the “Just Say No” campaign. The stamp art is a detail from the official 1987 White House portrait by Aaron Shikler. The oil-on-canvas portrait features Mrs. Reagan dressed in her signature red color, in a flowing gown designed by James Galanos. The full-body portrait was cropped to accommodate the stamp format. There have been suggestions that all First Ladies should be honored on stamps. To date the only ones so honored have been Martha Washington, Dolley Madison, Abigail Adams, Eleanor Roosevelt and Lady Bird Johnson.
