His agenda was her agenda. Making sure that Reagan was healthy and successful was her number one concern. She balanced his optimism with reality and made sure that his aides translated his broad ideas into policy. While the public saw a traditional First Lady, behind the scenes she was much more involved with personnel and policy issues than the public realized. This program takes an intimate look at this complicated First Lady...
