2011 marks the 100th Anniversary of the birth of many of our favorite classic movie stars: Ginger Rogers (born July 16,1911), Lucille Ball (born August 6, 1911), Jean Harlow (born March 3, 1911), Vincent Price (born May 27, 1911), Roy Rogers (born November 5, 1911), Robert Taylor (born August 5, 1911) and in February of 2011 Ronald Reagan (born February 6, 1911) who of course was also the 40th President of the United States.

A number of events have been planned throughout the year to celebrate the centennial. The Warner Archive has just released an 8-pack movie set of his films (available online here at the Warner Archive). On newsstands, a special commemorative edition of USA Today is now on sale.
