This is the daughter that Joe Kennedy had lobotomized, as I recall. What a tragic family...often of their own making.
I think you're right. I seem to remember reading that she was mildly retarded and aggressive, and that the lobotomy was simply to make her less aggressive...but it didn't work as planned, and she was basically forced into round-the-clock care for the rest of her life.
You're right. Her family couldn't accept the fact that she had a disability so they shut her away from the public.
They shouold have lobotomized Phat Teddy.
