Answer: Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt were cousins — specifically, fifth cousins once removed.
Eleanor was born Anna Eleanor Roosevelt and was raised in Oyster Bay, Long Island. Meanwhile, Franklin’s side of the family was from Hyde Park in upstate New York.
The couple were married in New York on March 17, 1905. St. Patrick’s Day was chosen as the special date to accommodate President Theodore Roosevelt’s schedule, who was Eleanor’s uncle and Franklin’s fifth cousin. Apart from officiating, he also gave away the bride. When asked for his thoughts on the Roosevelt-Roosevelt union, he quipped, “It is a good thing to keep the name in the family.”

The Kelly Bag purse is named after the Hollywood starlet and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. Thanks to the costume designer Edith Head, Grace Kelly first fell in love with the bag on the set of Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief. Known for her Hollywood glamour and elegance, the star quickly popularized the trapezoid-shaped bag in the 1950s after she was photographed holding the handbag to cover her baby bump from the paparazzi. That photograph was featured in Life magazine, and the handbag instantly became known as the Kelly bag. It was not, however, formally renamed The Kelly until 1977.
