These shows were great-I watched the reruns as a kid and learned a lot. Thanks much for posting

Thank you so much for posting this excellent biography - especially one on such an outstanding person. Many more of these documentaries by David L. Wolper need to be posted. To use a cliché, they don't make them like that anymore. Thanks again.

+Sister Veronica - No they don't, Sister Veronica. Perhaps one day they will again. Yes, Eleanor Roosevelt was an outstanding person. Still is. What an inspiration. They don't make them like that anymore. Perhaps one day they will again. Thank you.

I love biographies by David wolper productions. I love the 100% film and picture footage without talking heads every few moments. They are certainly made well and carefully not thrown together like they are nowadays... You'd think better technology would bring better material but in many ways the old fashioned things are far superior and always will be

I used to get up @ 5 am years ago just to watch this show! I loved it.

Eleanor Roosevelt will go down in history to be Americas greatest first ladies.

John Greene I myself find this is "serious" music I can get sentimental about. I already have "More serious Music Selections - Carl Moore" on Facebook account carl.moore.7792 but am considering a separate page instead for Biography 1961.

The greatest 1st Lady ever & there will never be another who even comes close.

Eleanor Roosevelt is my ideal. She loved people and there is no higher calling.

As a kid, I watched Biography, either originals or reruns on the weekends. The series theme and the background music is simply wonderful. There were a number of composers apparently involved with this series, who either composed specifically for the show (theme?) or whose music was repurposed. I think Fred Steiner was one of them and Jack Cookerly another. Jack Cookerly was also responsible for some background music in Ren & Stimpy, the music sounds very similar to what we are hearing here in the background. Jack Tillar was music supervisor, but what did that amount to in terms of the compositional themes and orchestrations which are so compellingly beautiful? What does anyone know of the theme composer for this series and the background music? Thx!

This was a 1985 rebroadcast, as the "Kitchens and Bathrooms" ad [11:59] was seen extensively (in New York) during that spring and summer.....

Ummmm, i can't get over the fact there is a commercial on 11:56

Please explain how the "Vietnam Experience" Time-Life books advertisement came to be included. Is this a rerun of many years later? (Yes, a different comment says this is a 1985 rerun.) Also, in the accompanying text: FDR died in 1945, not 1944.

what a beauty!!

I want to be great too for all that I hve suffered and for all the gteat ideas that I have. Same birthday Oct 11

I miss these commercials 😂😂 #80sBaby #90sLove 💖

Q on the six people listed on the credits - in the bottom left-hand corner is that Gandhi .... and on the bottom-right, is that Vivien Leigh?

I miss the music, and this video is part of "Biography 1961 Music Selections" on carl.moore.7792 on Facebook.

I wanna buy a book that teaches me how to install ceramic tile, damn you internets!

1:46- Edward Binns, announcer

How did she get TB?

Wow shocking how homely she was and her voice was a lengthy shrill.

16:00-16:20 Wow. For that time that was positively progressive.

I SO agree however, I think that many who have voted for Trump, are both ignorant of the depth and breadth of service that has built America, AND are descended from people who really could care less about the forbears, all of our forbears, who built the country.

For YOUR INFORMATION, HILLARY did just that! READ and LISTEN to learn FACTS rather than making bullshit comments about what you HEARD from someone that obviously has no clue. LEARN about ALL that HILLARY has been doing for the past 50 YEARS!
