Curtis Roosevelt Dall was the son of Anna Roosevelt and her first husband, Curtis Bean Dall, and the eldest grandson of Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt. He considered both the White House and the Roosevelt estate at Hyde Park, New York, as "home." After his parents divorced, his mother married journalist Clarence John Boettiger in 1935. When his mother was divorced from Boettiger in 1949, Eleanor Roosevelt and Anna did not want Curtis to reassume the surname Dall, and Mrs. Roosevelt suggested he use his middle name as his last name. He then legally changed his last name to "Roosevelt."
Roosevelt graduated from Northwestern Military and Naval Academy in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. He later attended Loyola University in Los Angeles. Roosevelt obtained his master's degree from the School of Government and Public Law at Columbia University.
Roosevelt married "in the family tradition," he stated, four times. He served as a private in the United States Army in the mid-1950s.
Roosevelt worked for several years in advertising and then primarily for nonprofit institutions, serving as regional director for the National Citizens Council for Better Schools and then as vice president in charge of public affairs for the New School for Social Research. He served as executive director of the United States Committee for the United Nations from 1963 to 1964.
Roosevelt served as principal at the Dartington College of Arts in Devon, England from 1983 to 1986. He served as a visiting professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations, receiving an honorary doctorate in 2010. In 1987, he and his fourth wife Marina moved to Deia, Mallorca, where Roosevelt devoted himself to pottery, some of his work being exhibited in a Palma gallery. He also occasionally wrote on American politics for El Mundo in Spain.
Roosevelt's book "Too Close to the Sun: Growing up in the Shadow of my Grandparents Franklin and Eleanor" was published in 2008 and led to a series of radio and television appearances by the author. In 2012, the book was translated and published in France. He also authored " Upstairs at the Roosevelts': Growing Up with Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt ," and was often consulted by the Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park and the National Park Service for comments on library exhibits and the historic Roosevelt homes Springwood and Val-Kill.
