In 1940 young actor Ronald Reagan took the role of George Gipp in the Knute Rockne film "Knute Rockne All American". He would go by the nickname "The Gipper" throughout the rest of his life, even as President of the United States! A rare image from the film in great shape, this is the first we have offered actually showing Reagan in his role as "The Gipper."
