Ann Blyth is crowned by Ronald Reagan in this publicity photo showing off the crown used for the television game show Queen for a Day, which ran from the late 1950s through the early 1960s (and had earlier debuted on radio in 1945).
We take note of Presidents Day with this candid shot, though neither Ann nor Mr. Reagan could have imagined he would one day be called Mr. President. She appeared with Reagan in a 1963 episode of Wagon Train called "The Fort Pierce Story." You can read about that here in this post from my Another Old Movie Blog.
For more on the movie, and her career, have a look at my book on Ann's career -- Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star.
