NAMES IN THE NEWS : Reagans, Astrologer ‘Finished’
- Share via
NEW YORK — Joan Quigley, the astrologer whose advice to First Lady Nancy Reagan reportedly set the President’s schedule, said she’s finished with the Reagans.
“When you’re that friendly with someone and they just cut you off . . . it borders on the incredible,” Quigley said in an interview in Fame magazine’s April issue.
The title of Quigley’s new book, “What Does Joan Say?” is what Ronald Reagan is said to have asked his wife after her telephone consultations with the astrologer during the Reagans’ White House years.
The disclosure that Mrs. Reagan consulted an astrologer made the Reagan White House the butt of jokes.
Why did Quigley write the autobiography and blast her former clients?
“I felt I had played an important role in the Administration,” she said. “I had to stand up for reputable astrologers.”
