Summary
In today's episode, we take a look at the early life of Ted Kennedy, the last of the Kennedy children. Ted was a kid that took a lot of risks, with much to prove within his famous family. Not that any of that risky behavior ceased once Ted settled down with Joan Bennett. Ultimately, that marriage was not successful, ending in divorce after almost a quarter of a century, helped along with the many scandals and missteps of the last of the famous Kennedy children.
