Mr. T pays tribute to 'very special' Nancy Reagan

Not even Mr. T is tough all the time, and on Twitter, he shared a sweet remembrance of former First Lady Nancy Reagan.

Reagan died Sunday at the age of 94, and Mr. T recalled his relationship with both Nancy and former President Ronald Reagan. In December 1983, Nancy Reagan invited him to the White House, and after their initial meeting, she asked him if he would help her with the "Just Say No" anti-drug program. "I gladly accepted with humility and honor," Mr. T wrote, adding that working with the "First Family on such a great cause" was the highlight of his career.

Reagan was "very special to me," he tweeted, before declaring that he's not a Republican or a Democrat, "just a Christian brother from the hood trying to do some good." He will "truly miss" Reagan, he wrote, and won't soon forget her as he continues "her work in trying to keep kids from the dangers of drugs."
