‘Powerful people’ didn’t want movie released
The movie, out April 6, follows the events surrounding the 1969 death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Sen. Ted Kennedy (Clarke) was driving Kopechne, a campaign worker for his late brother Robert F.

Born a millionaire, died a millionaire. Dad made his millions running illegal alcohol during prohibition. The whole family was (and is) corrupt. Big brother, and little brother were both killed by their excesses and corruption. Ted should have suffered the same fate, but somehow he made Mary Jo suffer it for him. The people of Massachusetts are some of the dumbest (or corrupt) voters on the planet.
just like Obama...
Yes......Yes they did! Kennedys in general get a pass.

Thank you
After this story came to light, didn't Ted use it as a slogan for his 1980 presidential run? "A Blonde in Every Pond" !
Think that they didn't want this one to reach the screen? Listen how they'll howl when somebody creates "Marilyn's Last Day".
Who? He the one that died in the plane crash?
9:56 NO, he is the one that was a senator and slept 99% of the time he was in office. He was a 1st. class drunk.
