Eleanor & FDR

my notes: 

1/ The actress matches well from the young to the elder version. 

2/ Ted likes Ted in other movies.

Great series and great book beyond comprehension. Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt helped secure our country in a time when it suffered its near death as a result of the Great Depression. Their lives were extremely fascinating to read and view yet their relationship was not perfect. However the teamwork that the couple participated in saved the United States from near death. Thanks very much for the upload this was a well put together series along with a well put together book. More details of this story can be observed more in the book which is one of my favorites also the series is well put together one of my favorites. Thanks very much for the upload.

Brilliant performances by Jane Alexander and Edward Herrmann. Beautiful score by John Barry, too.

My heart ? goes out to Elenor Roosevelt at 2:11:43 of this mini series. Imagine your best friend and confidant, Lucy Mercer (her own social secretary), doing the horizontal mombo and other hanky-panky under your very nose. She is insecure about her feelings about herself since birth. Now to have your closest friend doing it with your husband talk about a gut punch that would leave anybody crying and screaming like she is doing. 

Her teacher was the first person to really see the greatness and Envision in her life.. She saw that she was anointed.. [] [] [] [] To do great works for God and her country.
