- <p> Kitty Kelley, whose 1986 expose of Frank Sinatra caused Ol'
- Blue Eyes to have conniptions, is all set to stir up things at
- the Ronald Reagan household. Her unauthorized biography of
- Nancy Reagan, due this spring, was four years in the making,
- and so far, copies are being guarded like the formula for
- Coca-Cola. But leaks make it clear that the Reagans will not
- be Kelley admirers. Reportedly, there are accounts of Ronald
- Reagan's late-night drunken tumble with a Hollywood 19-year-old
- not long after he had proposed to Nancy, his seeking out a
- onetime inamorata even as their first child, Patti, was born
- (he told her his life was ruined), his several facelifts and use
- of hair coloring, and his fondness for anti-gay and racist
- jokes. As for Nancy, Kelley calls her a "most complicated
- woman," but most of the complications are unflattering. Where
- did Kelley get her info? She conducted more than 1,000
- interviews, but some of the more intriguing items were
- volunteered by Reagan aides and friends right after the couple
- left the White House in 1989.
