"But in this special year of celebration, we are putting back in the phrase which has been uttered by presidents of both parties and which was used as Reagan’s campaign slogan in 1980 and which he repeated in the speech just before he was shot."DENNIS QUAID NEARLY REJECTED ‘REAGAN' ROLE UNTIL ONE THING CONVINCED HIM TO DO ITQuaid compared Lohan's talent at 11-years-old to the talent of Marlon Brando.(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)A special edition of "Reagan," with 10 additional minutes of never-before-seen footage, is scheduled to be released in theaters Sept.
