FDR’s Grandson Remembers
Added 5.3.18. Milt in 2009 interviews FDR’s eldest grandson Curtis Roosevelt Dall, who authored the book, “Too Close To The Sun: Growing Up In The Shadow Of My Grandparents Franklin and Eleanor.” They talk about Curtis’ take on growing up in the White House as one of the “First Grandchildren” during The Depression and World War II, and about his later years including his role in a feature-length documentary film, “Charlotte: A Royal At War.” To discuss that film about the ties forged – under Nazi-induced duress – between the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg and President Roosevelt, Milt and Curtis Roosevelt are joined by three other guests. They are the then-Luxembourg ambassador to the U.S. and Canada, Jean-Paul Senninger, and the two co-producers of the film, Candice Allen-Olson and Lynn Rothwell.
