Betty Ford segments were the best


The others were unwatchable. It does not work when actors make faces or wear prosthetics and affect a high voice to try to copy someone so well known in the past. And I didn't appreciate the "modern scholars" who have decided Eleanor was a lesbian and invent scenes to tell that theory. You've got to try to get into the spirit of the known person and show why people loved them. They did not at all show the true qualities of Michelle or Eleanor. But the Betty Ford scenes rang true. Well written, well acted, and showed why she was so well loved.
