As JFK once noted,"A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers."The Kennedy's have always been the 'Legendary Family' full of mystery, intrigue, splendor, chaos, and tragedy.
"To whom much is given, much is expected."
And winning came at a huge price from the Patriarch Joe Kennedy Sr. through his use of Mafia deals for political rise to fame all the way down to John F. Kennedy Jr.
The romantic pairings went well beyond your normal state of affairs with some tragic ends including Marilyn Monroe, Mary Jo Kopechne, Inga, etc. and so the conspiracies swirled around all these lovely ladies.
It's been rumored that Jack, Ted, and several of the Kennedy boys were often unstable, using drugs or alcohol, and womanizers.
Whether this is rumor or fact we may never know as many of those involved have passed on.
This family has seen there fair share of disasters from the fatal WWII mission with Joe Jr, Jack's sister Kick being widowed a month after marrying a Protestant (defying her Catholic parents), then Bobby saves his son from drowning to witness his father shot on live tv five years after JFK's assassination.
Unknowable, Charmed, or Cursed is up to the readers but what we do know may never be enough to satisfy the craving most of us possess for this remarkable family.
