That is as ridiculous as calling Reagan a movie "star". A "B" actor is a more appropriate title.

Quoting from Wikipedia, emphasis mine:

Reagan made thirty films, mostly B films, before beginning military service in April 1942. He broke out of these types of films by portraying George Gipp in Knute Rockne, All American (1940), which would be rejuvenated when reporters called Reagan "the Gipper" while he campaigned for president of the United States. Afterward, Reagan starred in Kings Row (1942) as a leg amputee, asking, "Where's the rest of me?"His performance was considered his best by many critics. Reagan became a star, with Gallup polls placing him "in the top 100 stars" from 1941 to 1942.

The question is correct.

I second that. 19/20 due to "cuspid" not being accepted. Grandfather, uncle, and aunt all dentists. Never heard any of them ever refer to them as "canines", only "cuspids".
