LOL, this is gossip from like 1940, but whatever.
Writes author Gore Vidal:
"Eleanor did like my father [Gene Vidal] because he was close to Amelia Earhart, for whom she had a Sapphic passion that Amelia found disconcerting," Vidal writes in his second memoir, "Point to Point Navigation."
"Amelia said that Eleanor was always suggesting they make flights together all around the country, just the two of them, communing with the wind and the stars."
The first lady also had a "close friendship" with reporter Lorena Hickock.
