Summary

Correction: JFK was assasinated on 11/22/1963 Ever since the United States rejected hereditary Monarchy, Americans have had a fascination with political dynasties. The Adamses, the Roosevelts, and the Bushes have all become pseudo-royal families with multiple generations in high office. But no clan has embodied this more than the Kennedys. They achieved the American dream, going from penniless Irish immigrants to millionaires and world leaders in 3 generations. But their success has come at a high price. Two assassinations, four plane crashes, a failed lobotomy and numerous other tragedies have haunted this American dynasty. Everyone knows JFK, Jackie and RFK. But today we’ll meet all the Kennedy, explore their fascinating connections to Hollywood stars and European aristocrats, and the many tragedies which have lead to the idea of a Kennedy curse.
