10. Theodore Roosevelt’s Wild Child

Jokingly referred to as Princess Alice, President Roosevelt had his hands full with his eldest daughter, once saying, “I can run the country or attend to Alice. I cannot possibly do both.” The socialite was known for smoking and chewing tobacco in public, taking her pet snake to parties, gambling at race tracks, and playing poker, just to name a few of her favorite hobbies. The day before her family moved out of the White House, Alice buried a voodoo doll of incoming First Lady Nelly Taft, in the White House lawn.
