| --- ROSEMARY KENNEDY -- MONICA LEWINSKY ---ELVIS--- WHY NOMINATE AN HONORARY BATHROOM GIRL? | ||||||||||||||
 Rosemary Kennedy knew her glamourous siblings loved her but her letters show she was deeply saddened by the lack of acceptance she felt from her father. She was a teenager now and hadn't been allowed to come back home for years. Her mother who she was named for, was desperately looking for a way to cure Rosemary of her over-eating, her tantrums and her disobedient way of sneaking out of the nunnery to drink and meet guys. Meanwhile her popular sister Kathleen (who was later killed in a plane crash with her married lover) was embarking on a career in journalism. Her current project included research on labotomies as a cure for certain kinds of retardation. When she shared this information at home, Mrs. Kennedy looked hopeful. Kathleen quickly spoke to discourage her mother from thinking of it as a cure to Rosemary's "difficulties" specifying that it was much too harsh a procedure that would leave Rosemary unable to care for herself forever. A few years later the Kennedy girls were invited to be presented at the British Court to Queen Elizabeth... ALL of them! Including twenty-three year old Rosemary, who had attended almost no formal engagements because she had been kept out of high-profile Kennedy affairs. Hoping that Rosemary wouldn't embarass the family, they went through rigorous dress rehearsals practicing how to walk in an elaborate dress making her nervous and agitated. When the big moment came for Rosemary to walk down the aisle to the Queen she tripped on her dress and stumbled slightly regaining her composure quickly, ending with an elegant curtsey. People at the banquet afterwards commented that she was a very sweet pretty girl and a wonderful dancer. A few days later her father took her to the doctor for a "check-up" without telling anyone else. Rosemary Kennedy was labotomized during that dreadful visit. There were no pain killers administered and she was totally awake as they cut away at her mind. She has since been institutionalized, currently living in St. Coletta's Convent in Wisconsin. Now age 82, unable to care for herself since she was 23, Rosemary will always be bathed and fed by strangers, and she's a hell of alot better off with them then that fucked up Kennedy family! |
