“THE AXE HAS FALLEN & WE’LL BE DISCONTINUED AFTER THIS SEASON”
A disappointed Reagan scrambles for work as his nine-year run in the western-themed television series, G. E. Theater, comes to a close. He thanks White for sending him a script and apologizes for not responding sooner. “Frankly,” he confesses, “I was motivated by selfishness. Since Jan. we’ve been hanging motionless waiting to see if there would be a G. E. Theater next year. (All our stories had been bought for this year). Now the axe has fallen & we’ll be discontinued after this season...I hope you won’t mind but...I’m taking your play to another producer whose show is going on & who might be interested.” Reagan would appear in only one other big screen movie after this, but he eventually found a home hosting “Death Valley Days,” before abandoning Hollywood altogether and running successfully for the governorship of California in 1965.
