More DescriptionWere his life a movie, the critics would say it strained credulity; Mr. Smith's trip to Washington was likelier than Ronald Reagan's journey. He emerged from poverty in the Depression era Midwest to become a Hollywood star. Chancing an impossible leap into politics, the onetime liberal Democrat and union chief was elected governor of California as a conservative Republican.
