Mackenzie Phillips takes some time off from playing Julie Cooper on "One Day at a Time" to portray the young Eleanor Roosevelt in this 1976 TV adaptation of Joseph Lash's biography of the Roosevelts. Veteran character actress Lilia Skala plays Mlle Marie Souvestre who ran a girl's boarding school in 19th century England, and helped to shape the character of the future First Lady.
@sweetab24 It's available on DVD, cost me less than $25! A wonderful mini-series.

Wow! I watched this first-run! Didn't remember Phillips was in it! (I wasn't a "One Day At A Time" viewer!) I said then and I say now she was perfectly cast!
