"Piper’s sexual fantasy about the actor came to a screeching halt. He discreetly took her up the back way to his apartment in the Hollywood Hills, crammed with furniture. He set a small table in the living room, lit candles, served her a glass of wine and cooked her a hamburger steak.

“‘The evening up to that point had been quite romantic,’ she writes. ‘But the actual intimacy with Ronnie was without grace.’

“’He made sure I was aware of the length of time he had been ardent. It was 40 minutes. And he told me how much the condom cost,’ the actress writes. But…the stunning revelation to the young girl was that Reagan had no clue that she was a virgin – despite all the obvious signs.

“In fact, he couldn’t understand why she didn’t have multiple orgasms and told her she needed to see a doctor because she was abnormal.

‘And maybe a doctor can find out why it hurt you so at first,’ he said. ‘There’s something wrong with you that you should fix.’

“Numb with embarrassment, Piper recalled his words as ‘cold and just plain stupid.’ ‘He offered not the slightest trace of humor or kindness. His insensitivity had been wounding and, in retrospect, even cruel.’
