Apparently FDR kept several mistresses in addition to his wife, who had her own dalliances. They all knew about and even accepted each other. Then FDR brought his fifth cousin into the mix. She was "groomed," taken with him, and was under the impression she was his only "other". Then she was devastated to find out she was just one of several, and was encouraged to accept her situation.

Tru story. She never married. Lived to be 100. After her death, a box of letters found under her bed confirmed the relationship. Movie is based on those letters.
