Broadcast on ABC on January 11 and 12, 1976, Eleanor and Franklin was a two-part, four-hour television miniseries written by three-time Emmy winner James Costigan, and starring Edward Herrmann as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Jane Alexander as Eleanor Roosevelt. Based on Joseph P. Lash’s award-winning biography of the same title, the production is notable for its near-complete historical accuracy and went on to win eleven Primetime Emmy Awards. A highly desirable example of a classic Hollywood award-winning achievement, blending presidential history with cinematic success.
