Marguerite LeHand had a stroke, not a "major breakdown".
Elliot Roosevelt's series of crime novels set in the White House during his father's tenure as President make it pretty clear that her relationship with Roosevelt went a LONG way beyond professional, and that it had the tacit approval of Eleanor Roosevelt (and Elliot himself seems not to disapprove). Elliot draws back from stating that she was his father's mistress, but many scenes in the books make it clear that their relationship was intimate. There is no direct statement of the relationship, but the inference is clear.
Of course, these books are fiction, but written by FDR and Eleanor's son, so I think we can presume that the local colour is accurate! -- APRCooper 08:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I undid a date correction in this section. The funeral discussed was for Missy's mother in 1932, not Missy's own funeral in 1944. Paratrooper450 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:54, 27 May 2011 (UTC).
I removed the Orphan tag, after noting that there are now 5 articles linked to this one. Plazak 18:46, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
I labeled the section "Health Issues" because I intend to add information on Missy's mental health issues. She apparently attempted suicide at Warm Springs and had other "mental breaakdowns" during her time with Roosevelt. I will also add information about her death, described nicely by Doris Kearns Goodwin in No Ordinary Time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paratrooper450 ( talk • contribs) 21:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the close copyediting--much appreciated.-- Khazar2 ( talk) 19:56, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Ok, at this point, I've concluded that this meets the GA criteria--good work! Interesting to read about a less-known figure like this, I wonder how famous she would have been had she gotten that close to a president nowadays? Mark Arsten ( talk) 18:32, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
