Look Ma! Reagan Daughter Patti Davis Poses Nude (Again) at 58

Patti Davis, the rebel daughter of President Ronald Reagan who posed for Playboy magazine in 1994 when she was 42, is once again posing nude but this time it's for
More magazine. The 58-yea-old writer wants to celebrate having a body that she is finally proud of.
The controversial Davis who was often at odds with her politically conservative parents says that she became addicted to drugs at the age of 15 and didn't get clean until she was in her late twenties. She told More that her "body was wasted, muscles thin and barely visible." In a
Daily Beast interview Davis said, "I am proof that it's not that easy to die, because I'm telling you I was working on it."
Davis has had a turbulent life. She flirted with acting appearing in episodes of 'Fantasy Island' and 'The Love Boat,' had a relationship with Bernie Leadon from the Eagles and a four-year marriage to her yoga instructor.
During her father's presidency Davis (who went by her mother's maiden name) supported abortion and gay rights and vocally opposed nuclear weapons.
But when she walked into Gold's Gym in Venice, California at the age of 34 she was struck by a nude portrait of bodybuilder Lisa Lyon and decided then and there to emulate her impressive physique and also one day to pose nude.
Although the results are impressive, Davis says she's not happy with one particular body feature - her elbows. "I'm quite upset with my elbows. If you took a close-up photo of them, you'd think, 'Wow, very old person.'"
"I risked everything in my teens and twenties. I risked my health and even my life. I got both back through determination and hard work. I've now learned to respect time as the precious commodity that it is, and I've learned to respect my body."

For many years Davis did not speak to her parents but the rift was healed when her father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and now she has lunch with her mother every Sunday. However, the family is still fractured as she does not talk to either brother, Ron or Michael.
And she's still as outspoken as ever, in a Daily Beast interview she criticized Sarah Palin.
"As far as Sarah Palin is concerned, I think he (speaking of her dad) would be completely baffled at her fondness for shooting animals."
She adds: "I think people ultimately reveal themselves to everybody. I think that's the case with Sarah Palin's conduct, particularly after the Tucson shooting, I think she's sort of digging herself into a hole. I hope -- I really hope."

i am sure many women could say that about you...
Johnno:
I beg to differ with you - she actually appears svelte and nicely defined.
"Mature" women who stay in shape and take care of themselves are
rather sexy (unlike the photoshopped/lipo'ed/surgery enhanced
20 somethings who are insecure to boot).
Remember Johnny some day you will be 58.
I have seen some woman that age perfect, the number dont mean anything!!!!!!!!
grow up Johnny, someday you'll be there...when you're 58 you'll be begging for someone to look at your man boobs and distended belly...she looks good.
She looks good to me, I find her appealing.
She's not unattractive, but then, I'm 60.
You are apparently very young and new to the wonderful world of women, beyond the loving arms of your mother. As time goes on, you will learn most women are like fine wine, if not abused, thay age with such grace, NO one under 60 years old can match them. An older woman has experience younger women have not had enough time to learn. The same applies to older men.
I guess you won't ever marry nor age yourself either?
