Nancy Reagan, who went from B-movie actress to first lady, has died at 94.

Reagan championed the losing “Just Say No” anti-drugs campaign in the '80s (including an appearance on the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, seen—in edit—here), was criticized for her expensive taste in redecorating the White House and was, ultimately, seen as her husband, Ronald Reagan's, right-hand woman.
