Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.

Physique: Sturdy, somewhat stocky build Height: 5'10" (178 cm)

Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr. (September 6, 1888 – November 18, 1969), the granddaddy of American political dynasties, was not just a businessman, investor, philanthropist, and politician but also a certified panty-dropper of his time. Born on September 6, 1888, in Boston, Massachusetts, this Irish Catholic lad from humble beginnings climbed the ladder to sit atop the world of wealth and influence.

After gracing the halls of Harvard with his presence in 1912, where he no doubt charmed many a blushing co-ed with his economics degree, Joe jumped into banking before diving headfirst into a smorgasbord of industries. He made a killing in the stock market, which was just the beginning of his financial escapades. He then became one of Hollywood's first millionaires, not just for his business savvy but let's be real, because he was probably smoldering in a suit while producing films.

He capitalized on the end of Prohibition by diving into liquor importation, which, let's face it, was probably just an excuse to throw some epic parties where he could show off his charm. Appointed by FDR as the first chairman of the SEC, he cleaned up Wall Street, but not before making a fortune there himself.

As U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, he was known for his controversial views, but let's focus on the fact that he had the kind of charisma that could make even the Queen blush.

Married to Rose Fitzgerald, the couple had nine children, but Joe's extracurricular activities were more like a full-time job. He had a Rolodex of romantic escapades that would make most blush, from dazzling Hollywood starlets like Gloria Swanson and Marlene Dietrich to allegedly dipping his toe in the girlfriend pool of his own sons. His nine-year affair with his secretary, Janet Des Rosiers? That was just him keeping it professional, I guess.

Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. left this world on November 18, 1969, in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, after a stroke in 1961 turned him from a lion into a lion in winter. But let's not focus on that; let's remember him in his prime - a man who could finance a dynasty, charm the pants off of anyone, and still have the energy to make history.

In terms of attractiveness and sexiness, John Kennedy and his brother Robert have always seemed to me to be rather overrated. Their father is a hundred times more attractive and sexier.

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)

"Miriam? He really... isn't here, is he? Just now, I thought I heard... sometimes at night, when I wake up, it seems as if he really is here. Don't turn on the light. It's not real when it's light. It's only real when it's dark - dark and still."

Joe Kennedy III.

This picture is extremely JFK-Coded. But I really want to know why they chose Patrick Dempsey to play him considering there is truly no resemblance in appearance to young Jack. Unless I'm the one who's missing the mark here? Even though my McDreamy here looks absolutely NOTHING like my other McDreamy, a little birdie told me he played the role quite well and managed to capture Jack's frail health and the "rowdy party boy" persona encapsulated during his early days, despite being presented with the obvious setback in difference of appearance and all. So for that reason alone I am going to watch it! If anyone see's this and has watched JFK: Reckless Youth, feel free to let me know what you thought about it or any comments you have on it because I am genuinely curious now. (Without spoiling anything major-if there is anything major to spoil, of course!)

His whole family thinks he's a whack-job.

Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.

Joseph Patrick Kennedy Jr. (25 de julho de 1915 – 12 de agosto de 1944) foi um tenente da Marinha dos EUA . Ele era um membro da família Kennedy e o mais velho dos nove filhos de Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. e Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy . Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial , Kennedy foi morto em ação enquanto servia como piloto de bombardeiro de patrulha terrestre, e postumamente recebeu a Cruz da Marinha .

O pai de Kennedy tinha aspirações de que ele se tornasse presidente dos Estados Unidos . Kennedy foi um delegado da Convenção Nacional Democrata de 1940 e planejou concorrer a uma cadeira na Câmara dos Representantes dos EUA após seu serviço militar como o primeiro trampolim no caminho para a presidência. A morte de Kennedy enquanto participava da Operação Afrodite em 1944 fez com que seu pai transferisse suas aspirações para seu outro filho, John F. Kennedy , que seguiu o caminho planejado primeiro para seu irmão mais velho , avançando da Câmara para o Senado dos EUA e depois para a presidência.
