    Was just an old joke from the Reagan days. Not sure about the origins of the rumor but it seems to be an in joke from that generation

      Thanks, you’ve saved me a potentially harrowing deep dive - do not want to see any Reagan-related rule 34 stuff

        In a trashy book from the 50s called Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger includes a short section about the then Nancy Davis during her early acting days at MGM.

        He claims she had a reputation for being very friendly with studio executives, and that she was “popular” among them. Anger frames it as part of the Hollywood casting-couch culture of the era.

        Probably BS, but who knows.
