An Internet search about a movie with Bill Murray as Franklin Roosevelt reveals a large number of hits. It seems that the movie is planned to be shot this fall in Hyde Park.
The story covers one weekend in Hyde Park during a visit from the Queen and King of England and covers FDR’s rumored romantic relationship with his distant cousin, Margaret Suckley (Daisy). Daisy gifted the president with Fala, a Scottish Terrier. Fala outlived Roosevelt by seven years and is buried with him.
In 2007 we held the STFA annual meeting and dinner at the Suckley Mansion, also known as Wilderstein. The movie may be an HBO film rather than a studio movie. Keep your eye out for this one!
