White House daughter of the 1960s-'70s
Answer:
TRICIA
Hint:
Nixon’s eldest child shared her first name with a classic Beatles song.
Explanation:
This clue refers to Tricia Nixon, the elder daughter of President Richard Nixon, who lived in the White House during his presidency from 1969 to 1974. The timeframe "1960s-'70s" narrows it down to her, as she was the most prominent first daughter of that era. "White House daughter" is a straightforward hint pointing to a president's child, and "Tricia" is her well-known nickname for Patricia. The answer fits both the historical context and the letter count.
