“...pre-frontal lobotomy in November 1941...”

Did not know they did that kind of procedure back then.

Damn, poor lady... Not big on the Kennedy Clan, but that’s just horrible.

Yes it was pretty brutal too.

Some actually were more successful than others, there is a movie about an actress who had it forcefully done called ‘Frances’ which is pretty horrifying, but in real life she went on to appear on TV regularly.

They basically stuck an ice pick into an eye socket and swished it around cutting off the front of the brain.

Papa Joe was planning for the future. Rosemary was probably bipolar, and had a tendency to be promiscuous.

He was afraid she'd get into "trouble", and that would put a damper on the political aspirations he had for his sons.

About the same time that Hassie Hunt (one of H.L. Hunt’s sons) had his.

having a mentally challenged dtr myself...Aspergers..its hard to accept what they did to Rosemary....just because she was basically "slow"....

my dtr struggles with some things...she is not easy socially, does not have friends....simple math confounds her....

but she is very smart....she can come up with the most obscure Jeopardy answers...

and these people have feelings too.....just because they aren't good at social interaction does not mean they don't want it....

The Old Man was a beast and a sexual predator. There were rumors of incest and everything. Poor Rosemary. Her life was essentially taken away from her at age 23. Because she told.
