Roosevelt

Beginnings: In the centuries before European settlement, Roosevelt was a part of the great forest separating the Hempstead Plains from the meadows and marshes along the South Shore. After the colonists came, the stagecoach route from Hempstead to Babylon passed through the area, and in the late 1700s some entrepreneurs tried to take advantage of the potential business by building taverns. Thus, the community got its first name - Rum Point. The more genteel Greenwich Point became the community's name about 1830. In 1902, when a post office was established, residents renamed it in honor of the current United States president, fellow Nassau County resident Theodore Roosevelt.

  6. Murray is the anchor, but plot adrift in 'Hyde Park on Hudson' ★★

    The music&rsquo;s the best thing about the peculiar, demurely prurient &ldquo;Hyde Park on Hudson,&rdquo; starring Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Laura Linney as his spinster fifth cousin, Daisy Suckley. Setting the scene, and the mood, for this anecdotal account of FDR&rsquo;s pre-war sexual escapades one weekend in 1939, composer Jeremy Sams soaks the movie in a sly and charming recurring theme, a <span class="italic" style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">habanera </span>rather like a buttoned-down variation on the famous aria from Bizet&rsquo;s &ldquo;Carmen.&rdquo;

  7. 'Hyde Park on Hudson' doesn't illuminate FDR, critics say

    "Hyde Park on Hudson," this award season's less flashy presidential portrait, stars Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the time of a visit by England's King George VI (Samuel West) and Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) in 1939 to drum up international support on the eve of World War II.

  9. Lessons of 'Lincoln' and 'Hyde Park on Hudson': Politicians are imperfect, even the great ones

    Two new movies, "Lincoln" and "Hyde Park on the Hudson," are intimate portraits of the two most consequential presidents of the United States. They are timely reminders that politics has never been pretty and our leaders have never been prefect human beings, but that, without Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our country might have been lost to the disintegrating influence of lesser men.

  10. 'Hyde Park,' 'Lincoln' and more films give history a leading role

    In "Hyde Park on Hudson," the retelling of the visit of the king and queen of England to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in upstate New York in 1939, there's a particularly remarkable scene: Roosevelt's mother &mdash; who owned the house where everyone stayed &mdash; had purchased a brand-new toilet seat for the royals. But after they left she returned it to the store where she bought it. The shop owner was delighted, hanging the seat in his front window. That's in the movie &mdash; and it happened in real life.
