Princess Alice: First Daughter, First Influencer

Princess Alice: First Daughter, First Influencer

Author: CBS News October 8, 2024 Duration: 30:27
In the early 20th Century, there was no bigger celebrity than first daughter, Alice Roosevelt, daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. She captured the attention of the nation with care-free, hard-partying ways and eccentricities, like her habit of carrying around a pet snake. Songs were written about her and a color was even named in her honor. On top of that, she married a future Speaker of the House and had an enduring affair with another influential member of Congress. It was a big deal when 60 Minutes landed an interview with Alice in her later years -- and she didn't hold back when dishing about some other famous individuals, including her famous cousins Eleanor and Franklin.

There’s a whole other conversation that happens after the cameras stop rolling. 60 Minutes: A Second Look, from CBS News, digs into the legendary broadcast’s vast archive to uncover those missing pieces. Hosted by CBS News correspondent Seth Doane, this podcast isn’t just a replay of classic segments. Instead, it re-examines landmark interviews and pivotal stories with new context, often introducing rare archival treasures that have never been made public. You’ll hear the unedited tapes, the off-camera remarks, and the background discussions that provide a deeper, sometimes surprising, understanding of the figures and events that shaped our world. Each episode is a journey through the 60 Minutes vault, offering a fresh perspective on histories you thought you knew. Whether it’s a cultural icon, a political moment, or a societal shift first captured by 60 Minutes, this series gives you the rest of the story. It’s for anyone curious about the real conversations behind the headlines and the enduring impact of television’s most storied news magazine.
