Why was Eleanor Roosevelt. considered a great ugly?

She identified as beautiful.

I don't understand OP's typing.

Why is the sky blue?

She was not attractive and she knew it. It pained her. The thing is Roosevelt was climbing aboard regularly... didn't they have five kids or something? Then again, it's not the face you fuck, but the fuck you face.

Oh now I see. This is a joke copy of the Jackie O thread. Good work OP.

I dislike DL's Kennedy Stans.

I bet Eleanor is the mother of Caroline Kennedy. All brains / no looks, both of them

At least she didn't have embarassing hair.

Eleanor Roosevelt back in the day.

A little Kelly McGillis around the eyes.

A quote:

Another quote:

She was a lesbian and had lesbionic fashion sense.

She was considered to be attractive when she was young, with her amazing blonde hair and big blue eyes. Even her cunty cousin Alice said something like "She was all right, if only her horrible grandmother had had her teeth fixed she'd have been beautiful".

But of course, to age well, one needs good bone structure. Good coloring will only get you so far.

Mrs. Roosevelt was a real proto-feminist: she wanted to achieve things by dint of her brain and her energy and her conscience rather than by dint of her appearance.

Sara Delano Roosevelt, FDR's mom, mostly disapproved of her at the beginning of the marriage (and criticized her looks), but even she came to greatly value Eleanor. Eleanor achieved things almost no other First Lady did: she was the US ambassador to the UN, for heaven's sake, in an era when such positions were not given to women, and she was good at it, too. I think Hillary Clinton is the only other First Lady who achieved so much politically (and no, Jackie's redecoration of the White House is not an equivalent).

After Franklin was diagnosed with paralysis, Eleanor became known for her deep knee bends.

Eleanor was complicit in the cover-up, so her status is questionable.

I'm undetectable!

Well, let me tell you one thing about Richard E. Nixon. He knows how to keep his wife, Pat, home. Roosevelt could never do that with Eleanor. She was always out on the loose. Running around with the coloreds. Tellin' 'em they was gettin' the short end of the stick. She was the one who discovered the coloreds in this country; we never knew they was there!

R14, Eleanor Roosevelt was unrivaled as a first lady. In my mind, only Michelle Obama is close to her (and as much as I like, it's not THAT close at all). She was even more forward-thinking than her husband, especially when it came to racism and discrimination.

As FDR wasn't able to do a lot in public, because he needed to maintain the illusion of passable health, so Eleanor became the public face of the Roosevelt presidency. She was the one who met with interest groups, who visited coal mines and ghettos, who talked to ordinary people and listened to their hopes and concerns.

They were leading very separate lives by the time they got to the White House and can't have been very fond of each other by then, but FDR always listened intently to what Eleanor had to say about meeting the regular people he was isolated from.

I think if Eleanor were around today, she would be an out and proud bulldyke.

Eleanor was rich. Very rich. At the time of her marriage, her income which came from trust funds and investments was almost ten times the amount of her husband's. Anyone with money like that would be considered beautiful even if they had a hunched back and only one eye.

No wonder FDR cheated on her. She was hideous.

Eleanor was a Teddy Roosevelt?

She was a dyke, dykes don't care what they look like

Patricia Cornwell's plastic surgery says otherwise. Ditto Lily Tomlin's wife.

Oof. Shades of Joan Rivers.

Does she have any great grandchildren gallivanting around?

Eleanor was butt-ugly but, being a Lesbyterian, looks did not matter at all!

The older Eleanor was, yes, hideous.....so what? I'd love to have known her, I bet YOU'D love to have known her, and she was one of the very, very few people that Gore Vidal liked, even--dare one say it?--loved.

"Eleanor was a Teddy Roosevelt? "

Eleanor was from that branch of the Teddy Roosevelt family, she was Teddy's niece.

If that's what you meant to ask.
