So Now You Know

Eleanor Roosevelt received 35 honorary degrees during her life, compared to 31 awarded to her husband.

She appeared in a commercial for Good Luck Margarine. The only food she knew how to cook were scrambled eggs and toast.

She refused protection from the secret service. She carried a pistol in her purse and knew how to shoot. Teddy Roosevelt considered her to be the daughter he never had.
