About Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth

Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth

Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth

Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth (February 12, 1884 - February 20, 1980) was the oldest child of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. She was the only child of Roosevelt and his first wife, Alice Hathaway Lee.

Alice led an unconventional and controversial life. Despite her love for her legendary father, she proved to be almost nothing like him. Her marriage to Representative Nicholas Longworth (Republican-Ohio), a party leader, was shaky. She spurned Christianity. She was alleged to be unfaithful in marriage, but, considering the roving eye of her husband, it would not be surprising. In the late 1960s, she considered becoming "an honorary homosexual" . She temporarily became a Democrat during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and proudly boasted in a 60 Minutes interview with Eric Sevareid broadcast February 17, 1974, that she was a "hedonist".
