Sean Penn's Cruel Words Devastate Nancy Reagan


Actor SEAN PENN has slung a vicious barb at ex-President RONALD REAGAN - and it's breaking NANCY REAGAN's heart.

Penn declared that Reagan, 90, deserved Alzheimer's disease because of his actions in office, and his nasty words have upset the ex-President's wife, according to friends.

One pal says, "Nancy can't believe that a respected actor could be so heartless to her beloved Ronnie. "She can't understand how anyone could say something like that. It's so unbelievably cruel and heartless - almost beyond belief. "

Penn's outrageous jibe came in an interview with London's OBSERVER newspaper, when he said, "
Let's put it this way, I am not disturbed by Ronald Reagan's Alzheimer's. There's not a lot of cleaner pictures of karma in the world. " (SVD/TG/ES)
