Early Life
Elliott Roosevelt was the fourth of Franklin and Eleanor's six children, their third child having died in infancy about a year before Elliott's birth. Roosevelt was named after his maternal grandfather, Elliott Roosevelt. His siblings who reached adulthood were:
- Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (later Dall, Boettiger, Halsted)
- James Roosevelt
- Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr.
- John Aspinwall Roosevelt
Roosevelt attended the Hun School of Princeton and went to Groton School, as did his brothers, but refused to attend Harvard University. Instead, he worked a series of briefly held jobs, beginning with advertising and settling in broadcasting in the 1930s, including a management position in the Hearst radio chain.
