If she hadn't divorced Powell later, I may have said the same thing...
But you'd have to have actually read it...the way she presented it was
not in a way to necessarily make Powell look good...only that she was
pretty sure that that was the definitive moment when Reagan 'became' a
conservative (but perhaps he always was, and the 'liberal' thing was just
an act?)...
She really came off sounding like she knew more than she was willing to
tell...and like I said, there HAS been a few things written over the
years about Powell, who apparantly was involved in more things than just
acting/directing...but for some reason, no one seems willing to delve
into his background...
I almost got the feeling that whatever Powell was involved with was a
mitigating factor in Allyson seeking a divorce from him...

How nice of a check would it have to have been, to cause someone to make
a 180 degree turn in philosophy/politics?
Remember, it was shortly after this strange encounter that Reagan started
expressing an interest in politics beyond the sphere of the actors'
union...
