Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth (February
12, 1884 – February 20, 1980) was an American writer and prominent
socialite. She was the eldest child of U.S.
president Theodore
Roosevelt and the only child he had with his first
wife, Alice
Hathaway Lee. Longworth led an unconventional and controversial
life. Her marriage to Representative Nicholas
Longworth III, a Republican
Party leader and 38th Speaker
of the U.S. House of Representatives, was shaky, and her only
child, Paulina, was from her affair with Senator William
Borah.
