Lucy Mercer, his wife’s secretary; Princess Martha of Norway; and Missy LeHand, FDR’s personal secretary.

THE STORY: Apparently, even though FDR’s legs didn’t work, his third leg worked just fine. In fact, it seems to have picked up the slack of the other two as Roosevelt went from boning Mercer, his wife Eleanor’s secretary, to LeHand, his own secretary, to Princess Martha of Norway while the princess was a guest at the White House during World War II. It is believed that starting in 1916, Eleanor cut FDR off from sex and well, the man had a lot of stress to relieve, you know? At least he was able to find a way to combat his own Great Depression.

THE AFTERMATH: All of Roosevelt’s alleged affairs were kept secret until after his death but that doesn’t mean that he stopped any of them. In fact, Mercer was with FDR at his death in 1945, meaning that he stretched that affair alone for almost thirty years. His son, Elliott, in a book published in 1973, claimed that his father’s affair with LeHand lasted twenty years until she died of a stroke in 1944. Meanwhile, the affair with Princess Martha was never proven but that didn’t stop Washington gossip hounds from flapping their gums about it anyway until the war ended and the princess went back to Norway. Hey, who needs to walk when you’re always on your back?
