The scandalous, rebellious, and tragic life of JFK’s sister Kick
The story of Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy, the rebellious fourth daughter of Rose and Joseph Kennedy who defied her family for love, was unpublicized after her untimely death at the age of 28.
“She was the only rebel of the family,” says Lynne McTaggart, author of 1983's "Kathleen Kennedy: Her Life and Times." “If you look at all nine [Kennedy] children, she was the only one who didn't march down the prescribed road.”
Her story was recently featured in the series "Million Dollar American Princesses" on the Smithsonian Channel, the Daily Mail reports. The documentary was narrated in part by Kick’s namesake, Robert F Kennedy Jr’s 27-year-old daughter.
The family must have kept a good lid on this over the years, because up until now, I'd never heard of her.
