JFK nicknamed his sister-in-law, Joan Kennedy, ”The Dish” in 1960.
“Most people don’t know it, but in 1960 that expression was quite a compliment … especially coming from Jack Kennedy.”
Who did he first say the nickname to, Ted?
“No, he said it to me! And then, later, to the Senator.”
I bet he was happy about that?
“Oh yes, quite proud.”
Did you have a favorite brother in law?
“If I did, I wouldn’t tell you. They were so different. There was something about Jack. Both were very nice to me. That’s the important thing, isn’t it?”

#only tagged the people i recognized 😭#picture is from one of lee’s memoirs if i’m remembering correctly#can’t say for sure but i think pat jean and jackie had gotten closer by this point#out of all the kennedy sisters though pat and jackie were the closest and spent more time with each other outside of kennedy events#they’re so endearing like just imagining them all getting together and getting in their places for the picture#also a bit more context for anyone who has watched the jackie 2016 film . nancy tuckerman is jackie’s friend who was played by greta gerwig!#rfk#bobby kennedy#robert kennedy#robert f kennedy#jackie kennedy#kennedy#jfk#kennedy family#jbk#patricia lawford#Pat lawford#patricia kennedy#jean kennedy#jean kennedy smith#lee radziwell#prince radziwell#teddy kennedy#joan kennedy#jackie o#lem billings#kennedys#the kennedys#kennedy for your thoughts

Hey Kennedy fandom!
This fandom has changed a lot in the past few years. I would like to get to know some new Kennedy blogs.
If you want to, please reblog this post and tell us: 1) your first name 2) your age and 3) your location. You can also tell everyone who is your fave Kennedy :)
I'll start:
I'm Stephanie, I'm 34, from Montreal, QC, Canada.
My favorite is obviously Joan.
Please reblog, looking forward to see your answers!

I would've been a better wife to Joan than Ted a husband to her. She deserves affection and praise (which Ted to my knowledge never gave her). She's ✨️perfect✨️

“All this pent up emotion in the Kennedy circle (not to mention the hundreds of thousands of letters of condolence that flooded into the office designated for Jackie in the executive office building) focused on the thirty four year old widow. It induced an abnormal atmosphere of suppressed hysteria, emotion, catatonic grief that marked Jackie for life. Even in her private life she became someone extraordinary, touched by fate and celebrity. No one would would ever be able to react normally to her again; nor would she ever, however hard she tried- and she did try- be able to escape her golden cage.”
- Sarah Bradford, excerpt from the biography “America’s Queen”
