Lillian Rogers Parks (February 1, 1897-November 6, 1997) was an American housemaid and seamstress in the White House. With the journalist Frances Spatz Leighton, co-author of a number of White House memoirs, Parks published My Thirty Years Backstairs at the White House. The book covers a 50-year period in the life of domestic staff in the White House. It reports Parks' experiences as a seamstress, and those of her mother, 'Maggie' Rogers, who served as a housemaid for thirty years. Lillian Rogers Parks was portrayed by Leslie Uggams in the 1979 miniseries Backstairs at the White House. Many of the gifts she received (revealed in the aforementioned book) from presidents during her time there later became notable artifacts and collectibles associated with presidential history, eventually ending up in the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection. She also published The Roosevelts: A Family in Turmoil in 1981 in collaboration with Frances Spatz Leighton. She was an honorary member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. In this book, Lillian Rogers Parks (a retired White House maid) and Frances Spatz Leighton (a Washington D.C. journalist) set the record straight about the sometimes shocking, always fascinating personal triumphs and tragedies of this family in turmoil. Here, "Little Lillian, " as she was called by FDR, discloses the secrets she, and her circle of retired White House retainers, have known and kept quiet for many years, including startling revelations about the relationship between Franklin and Eleanor, and explosive details on their relationships outside of marriage. The drama of FDR's romantic alliances with his live-in secretary Missy LeHand and his longtime friend Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd are contrasted with Eleanor's attachments to Lorena Hickok, a friend who took up residence at the White House for months at a time, and to Earl Miller, the former New York officer who had served as Eleanor's bodyguard. This book illuminates the intimate, day-to-day life of this centrifuge of power--America's First Family--against the drama and crisis of the Depression and World War II. Derived from a Kirkus review: All the dirt that's left to print. FDR and Lucy, Missy, Martha, et al. Eleanor and Earl--and other unnamed women, other unnamed men. Eleanor vs. Franklin. Eleanor vs. Harry Hopkins, Harold Ickes, others' on FDR's side. Her "remoteness" as a mother. The fights with daughter Anna. Anna's failings as a mother. The many marriages, many indiscretions, many scrapes of the Roosevelt sons. The "royal headache" of the British royal visit....The terrible food, the poor pay, the killing hours....Noteworthy for Lillian Rogers Parks' evident appreciation of Eleanor Roosevelt's regard for blacks and FDR's feeling for her as a fellow-victim of polio.
