RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
You win, Laurie! Yes, it was Teddy Roosevelt's daughter from his first marriage, Alice Roosevelt Longworth. She was born in 1884 and died at age 96 in 1980. She buried a voodoo doll of Nellie Taft on the grounds of the White House, and the Tafts banned her from coming back to her former residence.
Quoting from Wikipedia: "The American public noticed many of her exploits. She smoked cigarettes in public, rode in cars with men, stayed out late partying, kept a pet snake named Emily Spinach (Emily after her spinster aunt and Spinach for its green color) in the White House, and was seen placing bets with a bookie." |
