Patricia Ann "Patti" Davis (née Reagan; born October 21, 1952) is an American actress and author.

Her original screenplay, Spring Thaw, became the 2007 Hallmark Channel movie Sacrifices of the Heart starring Melissa Gilbert and Ken Howard.

[15][16] In a September 2018, op-ed for the Washington Post, Davis wrote that she had been sexually assaulted nearly 40 years earlier by a studio executive.

The op-ed was released the same week Christine Blasey Ford recounted an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Davis released the piece in support of Blasey Ford when she had been criticized for not remembering details of the alleged assault.

[17][18][19] After the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in October 2018, Davis accused President Donald Trump of failing to provide solace to the nation in times of tragedy: "Let's stop asking him!

In the editorial, Davis wrote: "There is no defense, no rationalization, no suitable explanation for what my father said on that taped phone conversation.

[23][24] After the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, she voiced disdain for political violence and related the event to her own father's experience being shot and the emotional toll it took on her family.
