Juliet Nicole Simms (born February 26, 1986 in San Francisco, California) is a singer/songwriter. She is the vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for the band Automatic Loveletter. She was the runner up on the second season of the American reality talent show, The Voice.
In 2009, Juliet was signed to Umbrella Records in West Hollywood. Her first 4 songs were produced by the Grammy nominated members of the alternative metal band Spineshank, but Simms' melodic rock tunes "The View From Below", "Changing Skies", "Old Movie", and "I Notice" were not the right fit for that production team. Simms asked the label for a different producer and they brought in Richie Zito, a writer and producer for Elton John, The Motels and Heart. They re-recorded a handful of tracks that immediately garnered wide notice after being featured on MySpace. Her music was subsequently licensed to MTV's The Real World and Road Rules. Her ballad, "Old Movie" was aired as a closing song on the 2006 season finale of The Real World.
Nancy Davis Reagan (born Anne Frances Robbins; July 6, 1921) is the widow of former United States President Ronald Reagan and was First Lady of the United States from 1981 to 1989.
Nancy was born in New York City; her parents divorced soon after her birth and she grew up in Maryland, living with an aunt and uncle while her mother pursued acting jobs. As Nancy Davis, she was an actress in Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s, starring in films such as Donovan's Brain, Night into Morning, and Hellcats of the Navy. In 1952 she married Ronald Reagan, who was then president of the Screen Actors Guild, and they had two children. Nancy was the First Lady of California when her husband was Governor from 1967 to 1975. In that capacity, she began work with the Foster Grandparents Program.
Nancy Reagan became First Lady of the United States in January 1981 following her husband's election. She was criticized early in his first term largely due to her decision to replace the White House china, despite it being paid for by private donations. Nancy restored a Kennedy-esque glamor to the White House following years of lax formality, and her interest in high-end fashion garnered much attention, as well as criticism. She championed recreational drug prevention causes by founding the "Just Say No" drug awareness campaign, which was considered her major initiative as first lady. Always protective of her husband, more controversy ensued when it was revealed in 1988 that she had consulted an astrologer to assist in planning the president's schedule after the 1981 assassination attempt on her husband. She had a strong influence on her husband and played a role in a few of his personnel and diplomatic decisions.
