I don’t think Jackie did, though I did not know her personally. I think she had a lot of class, and by most accounts was a good mother.
One biography I do believe was one of Ethel Kennedy which said that Jackie was careful not to let John Jr.and Caroline spend too much time at the home of Ethel’s children because they were so wild. As you will recall, one of them died of a heroin overdose and a Skakel cousin was actually in trouble for murdering neighbor Martha Moxley. The Skakels were spoiled rotten brats, too, apparently.
That’s pretty much what Ive heard. Lawford was a glorified pimp.
Brando tended to like exotic, ethnic-looking women.
But he had plenty of problems, mostly in the parenting department. His late son Christian was sharply critical of the Brando home life, but then Christian himself got into trouble for murdering his sisters boyfriend( the sister in turn committed suicide) and reportedly had a meth problem when he lived in WA.
Read Senatorial Privilege by Leo Damore. Mary Jo Kopechne was one of a group of staffers inherited by Teddy after Bobby’s death.
I know the actual “Compound” for the scummy family was in Massachusetts. They did have another home at, or near, West Palm Beach. I’m recalling back 50+ years when I was a child; forgive me if I don’t have a street address or GPS coordinates.
Karma.....Lawford got his due at the end....his last wife wrote a book on his sorry end.
The famed Hollywood swordsman was unable to perform and had to resort to a weird sexual aid....which is so disgusting, I will not describe it here.
Hillary Clinton. Body by Fisher, legs by Steinway
I found it interesting that Mary Jo and her roommate - both of them died in ‘accidents’ within a couple of years.
BTW, apparently the blonde woman who married John Dean ran in that crowd and the Watergate break-in may have been to get information about her.
More like Came-a-lot.
At least for the boys. With the drunks and pipsqueaks listed here one has to wonder if she got anything but bored. So to speak.
Good thing she was not in back seat of Teddy’s car.
West Palm Beach is very different from Palm Beach. It’s where the servants lived.
The Kennedy’s had a home on the water (of course) in Palm Beach.
Residents of Palm Beach try to avoid going over to West Palm. I once overhead a PB resident say to his neighbor “You didn’t take the Rolls over there, did you?Y
Yes I heard about that on Coast to Coast. The grace Kelly-esque Maureen Dean was rumored to have been a DC call girl. I always wondered how the weasely Dean could get someone who looked like that, but they’re still married, I guess. Dean is one if those going around bad-mouthing other Republicans , when he can find anybody to listen. Liddy did the hard time, but has had the most interesting and productive life, since, well aside from Chuck Colson, I guess.
Now I will keep wondering about it.
Well, remember the remember the rape trial David Kennedy Smith was involved in in the 80s? I know that happened in Florida, because some unusual Florida laws came into play.
My father knew of her when she was at Farmington, said she was “loose.”
Your profile says you were recently widowed? I’m sorry for your loss. But you are getting divorced now?
No-I used the word “just” in my post to indicate a simple solution for an ordinary woman to being married to a cheater-as compared to a woman in the public eye. My divorce took place over 20 years ago-from my 1st husband, not my lost MrT5, who was not a cheater...
Thanks for the explanation.
“West Palm Beach is very different from Palm Beach. It’s where the servants lived.”
Yes; that’s true. The woman in West Palm Beach WAS a servant — a maid — to a Palm Beach family who, IIRC, lived “next door” to the Kennedy home there. The maid was a member of the church where my uncle was pastor.
Yes, I noticed also how many have ended dead. There are, of course, a number of conspiracy theory books on just how Marilyn Monroe died. One person commented that maybe Jackie was meant to be the victim in Dallas.
