About this listen
Author Edna Gurewitsch and singer Eric Burdon on this edition of Fresh Air. Edna Gurewitsch is the wife of the late Dr. David Gurewitsch, who was Eleanor Roosevelt's personal physician from 1945 to her death in 1962. Gurewitsch has written a new book about the close personal relationship that developed between her husband and the former first lady, Kindred Souls: Eleanor Roosevelt and David Gurewitsch, 1945-1962. Dr. Gurewitsch was a handsome, compassionate man, 18 years younger than Mrs. Roosevelt, and she fell in love with him. He didn't share those feelings, but they maintained a friendship of devotion and respect. Kindred Souls contains excerpts of their many letters.
Eric Burdon was the lead singer for the British band The Animals - the 1960s group that gave us "House of the Rising Sun", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", and "We Gotta Get Out of This Place". Burdon has written his autobiography, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. He is currently touring with the New Animals. (Broadcast date: January 3, 2002)
