You mean Rosemary? Rosemary is of Eunice's generation and was MILDLY retarded, and Joe Sr. heard of this fabulous new operation -- called a lobotomy? -- that he thought might do her some good. Apparently, he was mistaken and she never had an intelligence level above that of a 4- or 5-year-old again.
(Another factoid learned from the Discovery Channel show.)
So, I understand Rose and Joe Kennedy had 9 kids, but I could only figure out 8 of them from the tv program. Did one die in childhood or something (I missed the beginning of the show)?
