As Senator Ted Kennedy Said in The Eulogy "He'll be remembered as a good and descent man saw wrong and tried to right it saw suffering and tried to heal it and Saw war and tried to stop it"
I love the way Ethel looks at Bobby ,too! She was madly in love with him! I hope he was as much in love with her! They inspire me! I have to turn in my feminazi card and have lost my street cred,but I don’t care! Bobby is my hero and I adore Ethel!
@@jillcrato1680 though happily married in a traditional 1950's style Catholic marriage, RFK supported equal rights for women. He valued his wife's insights and point of view. Bobby was not a perfect man, but who is? He was a good and decent man who tried to make the world a better place during his lifetime.
What a wonderful film of Bobby and Ethel. Love them together. You can tell how much they love each other. He would have been a great President. So sad and sorry he never had the opportunity to become President. I will vote for Robert F Kennedy Jr in 2024 for President. Love the Kennedy's and their history. Ethel and Bobby both looked eternally youthful. Beautiful in love couple.
I was a senior in High School when Robert Kennedy....came to my state on a campaign tour. I asked for permission to get out of class with 2 girlfriends so we could go see him. The superintendent said no....and if we missed school we would be in trouble. We left early the next morning and drove to the University....about 50 miles away. When his car came by...l ran beside it....and got to shake his hand. I was thrilled. To this day...l have no idea what studies l missed at school that day....but l will never forget seeing him and what a beautuful day it was.....and running down the grassy knoll to his shake his hand. He was so handsome. The super was upset...l .had to complete extra work for taking the day off.....but it was history. Two months later he was killed in California.
Sweet couple, you can see the love and closeness between them. I like that he actually thanks and mentions his staff. A no nonsense lawyer and a warm loving husband and father. Don't make men like this anymore. Thank you for posting this.
I love Bobby and Ethel. I enjoyed this very much. I loved seeing the two together. Ethel looking at Bobby while he answers the questions shows how much she adores him. And he smiles and gushes over her and the family. So nice seeing him with the dogs, showing he has a heart for animals. He is a great dad to his children as is Ethel. What a wonderful family. They remind me of the movie "It's A Wonderful Life". They are George and Mary Bailey. Terrible how that maniac took him away from his family. Who knows how things would have gone with J.F.K and then R.F.K in the White House. I believe things would have been done right. I admire Bobby and have always loved the man he was. Blessings to Bobby and his family.
How well mannered Bobby Kennedy was and a wonderful parent. Ethel and Bobby taught their children to be respectful around their grandparents. It was a sad time for Bobby's loved ones and for this nation when he was murdered.
A little detail what talks Bobby was a great guy and a nice father. When child keep crying, he go up stair with him, soon he go back for the rabbit. First was the wellness of his son, and later the interview. perhups another father had made something different, like to give crying child to mother or something like that. He always smiling, wasting sympathy, proud of his offspring each moment. I feel a kind of fan of this man, for me very perfect. Chris, Stgo. CL
+crist67mustang where r u from ? Your English writing seems to be that of a person from another country. RFK was a great man. Had he not been assassinated in 1968 of June, he would of gone on to win the Democratic nomination for president and most likely would of defeated Richard Nixon in the general election and becoming the President of the United States. The USA would most certainly be a different country today had RFK been our President. Tragic loss for our country.
They were such a young couple with five children and busy schedules yet they seemed to have so much time for each other and surrounded their children with love. So interesting to see RFK Jr as a child. Such a loss. He was definitely part of his nation’s destiny.
Bobby said once that other wealthy people hire people to raise the kids... They did the opposite, they hired people to take care of everything else so they could raise the kids ❤ RWG Ethel 🙏
It's just that whole glamour thing with Jackie. Her looks and accent. But Ethel is more down to earth, sweet and real. She seems very approachable. I agree with you Jettsetgirl. And she never married again.
Jettsetgirl G oh dear! Ethel was and is wonderful too, but Jackie Kennedy touched mean and women alike because there was nobody like her, nor will there ever be, at least for myself. I was almost 6 when President Kennedy was murdered and I remember. Jackie was the one who stood like a brick wall and walked us thru those terrible days. And beyond that miracle was her beauty and charm, the way she spoke. Almost anyone would fall in love w her.
Such a lovely , happy family ! Ethel and Robert were the perfect couple ! Love them - and the strength she had to grow up her eleven children after his tragic death ! God took a main place on their lives !
Ethel is a adorable and strong woman thank God she is 90 years old and still with us today!! God Bless her and keep her with her health and strength I love you Dearly keep up all the charity work you are still doing today
I totally agree! I’d turn in my feminazi card and happily lose my street cred to be able to love a man the way Ethel loves Bobby! I hope he was worthy of her love and adoration.He was my first crush!😊
lol david came down stairs just to cry and interrupt the interview with his crying but you can tell he loved his babies his animals he seemed kind gentle fun characteristic type of person smh and his life was taken away for nothing no one can harm him no more
Ethel and Bobby were an incredible power couple. Imagine if we would have had 4 or 8 years of them in the White House! Just think, after this interview she went on to have 6 more children in almost as many years! I love how respectful they are in their interview. If only we could bring back such public civility and decorum today.
I met them shortly before he was assassinated one very late evening in NYC in 1968 when they were out alone, without bodyguards just going for a stroll up Madison Avenue near 66th Street. It was 11 pm and the street was pretty deserted on a Sunday evening. The chance encounter was very exciting and they couldn't have been nicer. We had a brief exchange and I continued on my way. I'll never forget it!
Thank you for the video. A beautiful couple, you can see they love each other. I think if Bobby would stay senator it would of been better for everybody especially children. Bobby was a great father.
Years ago we were on vacation and pulled up in Bobby and Ethels drive way, just enough to back out and turn around. They were a bunch of kids, and several adults, playing football in the front yard. They just starred at us, as we did them, we weren't in a very fancy car. But, a couple of the kids waved to us as we were pulling off. When I looked back, I was always amazed that we got that close to them and wasn't even stopped by any security or the police. They could have been any family in America outside playing with their kids.
The family of Bobby and Ethel had 11 kids in chronological order they were : Kathleen born July 1951, Joseph September 1952, Bobby Jr January 1954, David March 1955, Courtney September 1956, Michael February 1958, Kerry June 1959 Christopher July 1963, Max March 1965, Douglas April 1967 Rory December 1968
How very young RFK and Ethel were. Their children were adorable and their lives seem almost idyllic. It's a mercy that they were not able to see into the future and see what would become of them all. Little David would die a tragic premature death, Ethel was pregnant with Michael who would meet scandal and also premature death, and of course RFK would die at the hands of an assassin at the end of the 60's.
It is. First, Joe was killed oversea, John and Robert were assassinated, and Ted became notorious for drowning a woman. Jack, Jackie, Bobby, and Ethel were all adorable, as were all their kids.
Not to mention Courtney's daughter Saiorse dying at 22 from an overdose. And the latest tragedy Kathleen's daughter Maeve and grandson Gideon's death by drowning. In addition Robert Jr.'a wife committed suicide.
I wish I could have known both Bobby and Ethel! I find them to be an adorable couple and that Bobby was a no nonsense man as well as a sweet and loving husband and father!
Rema Lim, I agree that Ethel IS (she just celebrated her 90th Birthday) a strong lady. However, I do not think it is fair to say that she is “way stronger than Jackie”. Jackie endured many things in her life, including the loss of a stillborn baby girl in the late 1950’s, and the loss of a baby son only three months before having her husband’s head explode right in front of her. I lived through those times. I will never forget the way our lovely First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, held her head up high in public -and led our country through those horrible dark days after President Kennedy’s assassination on 11/22/1963.
@@remalim9471 I think you are correct. Ethel also lost both her parents at the same time in a plane crash. Just awful. Then she lost Bobby, and soon after, two of her young sons. Like you said, Ethel never leaned on another man or on her place in the world. Just her faith.
@@remalim9471 You don't need to tear one down to raise the other up.. You DO realize that, right? They can both be celebrated, you can admire one without putting down the other and vice versa. Every person is an individual and moving on from a deceased spouse doesn't make you what you had with them any less loving and loyal. Life is for the living. Ethel can be a strong, smart wonderful woman, wife and mother and Jackie can ALSO be a strong, smart, wonderful wife and mother. They can BOTH be beautiful. They can BOTH be intelligent, sassy, funny, classy etc. Every person deals with life how they can and it isn't a contest. Just remember that there's a lot to be said if you compared RFK's children with his JFK's children. See? It's just a nasty, rude thing to do so why do it? Ethel isn't better than Jackie, Jackie isn't better then Ethel. They are two different individuals with their own strengths, weaknesses, personalities and both have admirable qualities and both loved their husbands dearly and lost them much to soon. They also both have weaknesses, flaws, their marriages weren't fairy tales and perfect. They have both made big mistakes, been nasty, been mean. They're human. Celebrate ALL strong woman and their differences. Don't tear other women down to build another up and stop pitting women against each other! This attitude is exactly why solidarity and sisterhood continue to be destroyed.
They'd known tragedy long before this taping. Ethel's parents had recently died in an airplane crash. She had a niece who was born blind and deaf a few years prior. Robert's sister and brother died in separate tragedies. His sister was lobotomized. I doubt they worried about tragedy, the just took life as it came.
Why is it that people in the 60s or let's say early days, sounded the same and sounded like we'll mannered. Jeez... Look at people how they talk nowadays. We throw hands, we curse, we don't smile. Att from here to timbuktu
What a difference in the overall tone of the interview...the respect shown by both the interviewer and the interviewee. It would do today's crop of "journalists" a lot of good to dig out recordings like this and see how it's SUPPOSED to be done.
Ok I'm trippin' on Ethel...I bet in real life she is so much more relaxed and outspoken! I can tell she is not very comfortable in this interview...she is so adorable, gotta love her! Makes one wonder what kind of First Lady she would have been?
I thought Ethel did very well. I always liked both Bobby and her. It was very interesting to learn that Bobby pretty much led a dual life...one as loving husband and father and the other as a political figure. It is said he was an absolute tyrant in his political life.
Are you kidding?? RFK's kids were always in trouble right thru adulthood. Who are you kidding? They ran absolutely wild after Bobby was killed. Drugs, Joe III caused a car accident that permantly paralyzed a young girl, Kerry was arrested for DUI, David died from a drug overdose, RFK Jr. had numerous affairs and his wife committed suicide (he himself was a heroin addict), Michael had an affair with an underage babysitter before he died - - come on! How in the world could you say something like their kids turned out better than Jackie's and JFK's kids? You don't know the facts.
Not kidding. SOME of RFK's kids were bad, but the majority came out okay. The boys were bad, but the girls were better. The girls all turned out to be government workers, filmmakers, lawyers and human rights activists. Caroline and JFK Jr weren't hard working. They were spoilt. Had JFK lived, his kids would've turned out much better. Jackie was a so-so mother, always concerned with her shopping sprees and travelling. She didn't encourage them to be responsible nor hard working enough. Caroline makes money off her parents' possessions and JFK Jr flew a plane when he wasn't properly licensed and killed himself and his wife and sister-in-law. What he did was very irresponsible. Jackie and JFK's kids were okay, nice people, but not anything very special when compared overall to RFK's kids. JFK Jr was a very, very kind person, but irresponsible. Most of RFK's kids are good people AND more ambitious.
I thought JFK Jr. was great and think Caroline still is great. Some of Ethel's kids have had a few negative incidents, but they're largely working in public life and doing very good things.
Look at the way Mrs.. Kennedy looks at Robert. I love the idea of these days. Women were traditional, and supported their husbands. "The government has to be run by men, and men are fallible, " he said. Now, we have a woman Vice President. I have to take care of my own business, I have to deal with men in business. I am not embarrassed to say, I wish we could live on one salary and women were home. Ethel went on to be somewhat of a diplomat and was involved in social services after Bobby died. She became a career woman. You can see here that she was very bright. Nothing like she was here, so demure and her role seemed to be her kids.
Anyone notice how Bobby disappears to put the kids, who are somewhat restless, to bed while Ethel shows the dining room. After a brief interval, poof, Bobby reappears sans kids. Come on. They had nannies/houseworkers to look after the kids. This was all for show and helped create the image of the Kennedys as the all-American family. Bobby was a workaholic, Ethel probably spent more time shopping, playing tennis and planning parties than parenting her kids. Read a good biography of this duo. Hickory Hill followed the Skakel tradition of a chaotic home. This is the great American image making machine at work, 1950's style.
Absolutely! Many biographies even state that Ethel was inept where domestic housekeeping tasks were concerned. The family employed cooks, nurses, chauffeurs, tutors, gardeners. Today, you may find a Skakel or a Kennedy who cooks and cleans. In the 30's thru the 90's, you definitely found that most of them employed others. Ethel even has trouble answering Mr. Murrow's questions about domestic duties.
Please get your “facts” correct. Ethel and Bobby Kennedy had 11 children. Their 11th child (Rory), was born 6 and 1/2 months after Bobby’s assassination. Most of Ethel’s children are NOT deceased. David passed away in 1984, of an apparent drug overdose. Michael passed away in 1997, as a result of a skiing accident. Ethel has lost NONE of her grandchildren, nor any of her great grandchildren.
She sadly just lost another grandchild and a great grandchild on April 2, 2020. Maeve Townsend McKean( daughter of Kathleen..Bobby and Ethel's eldest) and her son Gideon drowned in the Chesapeake Bay. They accidentally kicked a ball into the water and got in a canoe to retrieve it. They were carried out into the bay and drowned.
Of all the amazing Kennedys, and of course JFK great as he was, Bobby Kennedy has always been my favourite. The tragedy and loss to his family and to the country of his evil killing will be forever a black mark on the soul of America.
I always liked this woman....and then I read how she stiffed an Indiana restaurateur who hosted her son's wedding reception in 1982 and could not abide her anymore. I can forgive just about anything but when a millionairess screws a working man out of $8,000 and then dodges his phone calls and then forces him to file suit to recoup what is rightfully his, well, that is nearly impossible to forgive. Simply contemptible.
Double Ghod I feel sorry for her losing RFK, she really loved him. But she was a right Bitch to the older sons. She Was devastated by his death. She just shut off to the boys And and hit them when they Played up. I'm not picking On her, would have been hell Trying to cope with a large Family. They should have gased the bastard that shot RFK. Idiot killed him over The six day war, he wasn't Even in the Johnson gov.
Double Ghod, For Heaven’s sake, Lady - get a life! Do you actually believe everything that you read? Even if this incident DID happen, you do not know all of the facts, so how can you be so judgmental?
@@Kayte-tv2cw how come you guys can't accept that these people aren't as perfect as they seem. They're people who do people things. They also dont have privacy. This ain't no surprise. She went bat shit after Bobby's death , Bobby Jr even wrote about her in his book like geez how about YOU do your research

it breaks my heart to see how good rfk is with the kids. it's so sad that they had to live most of their lives without him.

He was killed by those who wanted to make sure war continued. So horrible

I love how humble and caring he was. He talks about serving. Serving the puplic. He would have made a great president.
He sure would have Mr. Crady. Be blessed. 🤗
He sounds kind of shy

YES,it is beautiful! Bless her!
I never understood why the world was so enthralled with Jackie, it's clear to me that Ethal was truly vivacious & lovely
Because of her scandals. Ethel was not a notice just being an excellent , occupied wife and mother !
Jettsetgirl G Totally agree
Jackie was, as first lady, the more famous, so of course she generated public interest.

Ethel could not get enough of Bobby. 11 kids, in total, says it all!

Looking at Ethel could become habit forming. She would have been one of our loveliest and most likable first ladies.
Not the most beautiful lady, but elegant in her own way.
She was so naturally lovely, not a cover girl, but healthy and happy with beautiful doe eyes.

@@remalim9471 I think you are correct. Ethel also lost both her parents at the same time in a plane crash. Just awful. Then she lost Bobby, and soon after, two of her young sons. Like you said, Ethel never leaned on another man or on her place in the world. Just her faith.
@@remalim9471 You don't need to tear one down to raise the other up.. You DO realize that, right? They can both be celebrated, you can admire one without putting down the other and vice versa. Every person is an individual and moving on from a deceased spouse doesn't make you what you had with them any less loving and loyal. Life is for the living. Ethel can be a strong, smart wonderful woman, wife and mother and Jackie can ALSO be a strong, smart, wonderful wife and mother. They can BOTH be beautiful. They can BOTH be intelligent, sassy, funny, classy etc. Every person deals with life how they can and it isn't a contest. Just remember that there's a lot to be said if you compared RFK's children with his JFK's children. See? It's just a nasty, rude thing to do so why do it?
Ethel isn't better than Jackie, Jackie isn't better then Ethel. They are two different individuals with their own strengths, weaknesses, personalities and both have admirable qualities and both loved their husbands dearly and lost them much to soon. They also both have weaknesses, flaws, their marriages weren't fairy tales and perfect. They have both made big mistakes, been nasty, been mean. They're human. Celebrate ALL strong woman and their differences. Don't tear other women down to build another up and stop pitting women against each other! This attitude is exactly why solidarity and sisterhood continue to be destroyed.
What an amazing interview, she seemed so lovely and very inspired woman, who always looks at his man with lots of love on her eyes. Simplicy wonderful
Awwwwww their little cries from embarrassment 😫😂
Hahaaa David was crying and later Bobby jr started too hahaaa
When he comes back for the elephant :D
Charming video! Ethel ran that roost!
Kathi, You seem to be one of very, very few on here that has any sense whatsoever!
Wow If they only knew what the future would hold for this tragic beautiful family.
They'd known tragedy long before this taping. Ethel's parents had recently died in an airplane crash. She had a niece who was born blind and deaf a few years prior. Robert's sister and brother died in separate tragedies. His sister was lobotomized. I doubt they worried about tragedy, the just took life as it came.
She handle herself wonderfully
I love the way they all TALK
Ethel held her own....1 amazing female for sure
2024 Ethel is with her Bobby again!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🥲🥲🥲🥰🥰🥰🌹
This is heartwarming.
Ethel and Bobby resemble each other. Ethel far far different from the glam breathless Jackie. ...
Loved when bobby went back for Davids elephant
That was little Bobby's toy.not David's.
I love the Kennedys❣🌻💐🌹🌺🌼⚘🍀
Why is it that people in the 60s or let's say early days, sounded the same and sounded like we'll mannered. Jeez... Look at people how they talk nowadays. We throw hands, we curse, we don't smile. Att from here to timbuktu
lol the first mtv home interview
Its amazing , as you say first mtv home,..,
Bobby was twice the politician than either of his brothers and would have made a great President
I never Heard Ethel Talk Before " Wow She sounds like a Kennedy "
Most of the Kennedy's and their spouses were from New England or close by.
I miss The Kennedy's Just Like I Miss The Beatles ! !
The Skakels are actually Midwest US transplants, moving East in 1934.
@Kathi Papaleo. Ethel is a Chicago girl.
These people were highly intelligent. They deserved all of the adulation they have gotten.
What a difference in the overall tone of the interview...the respect shown by both the interviewer and the interviewee. It would do today's crop of "journalists" a lot of good to dig out recordings like this and see how it's SUPPOSED to be done.
Ethel and Robert Kennedy were a lovely couple
He seems quite humble.
What a lovely little piece... thank you for uploading this :)
Absolutely! Like and subscribe to our page for more! 2018 is going to be packed full of new content!
Tomorrowpictures.TV Wonderful !!
Ok I'm trippin' on Ethel...I bet in real life she is so much more relaxed and outspoken! I can tell she is not very comfortable in this interview...she is so adorable, gotta love her! Makes one wonder what kind of First Lady she would have been?
I thought Ethel did very well. I always liked both Bobby and her. It was very interesting to learn that Bobby pretty much led a dual life...one as loving husband and father and the other as a political figure. It is said he was an absolute tyrant in his political life.
RFK and Ethel's kids turned out better than Jackie and JFK's kids.
Are you kidding?? RFK's kids were always in trouble right thru adulthood. Who are you kidding? They ran absolutely wild after Bobby was killed. Drugs, Joe III caused a car accident that permantly paralyzed a young girl, Kerry was arrested for DUI, David died from a drug overdose, RFK Jr. had numerous affairs and his wife committed suicide (he himself was a heroin addict), Michael had an affair with an underage babysitter before he died - - come on! How in the world could you say something like their kids turned out better than Jackie's and JFK's kids? You don't know the facts.
Not kidding. SOME of RFK's kids were bad, but the majority came out okay. The boys were bad, but the girls were better. The girls all turned out to be government workers, filmmakers, lawyers and human rights activists. Caroline and JFK Jr weren't hard working. They were spoilt. Had JFK lived, his kids would've turned out much better. Jackie was a so-so mother, always concerned with her shopping sprees and travelling. She didn't encourage them to be responsible nor hard working enough. Caroline makes money off her parents' possessions and JFK Jr flew a plane when he wasn't properly licensed and killed himself and his wife and sister-in-law. What he did was very irresponsible. Jackie and JFK's kids were okay, nice people, but not anything very special when compared overall to RFK's kids. JFK Jr was a very, very kind person, but irresponsible. Most of RFK's kids are good people AND more ambitious.
I thought JFK Jr. was great and think Caroline still is great. Some of Ethel's kids have had a few negative incidents, but they're largely working in public life and doing very good things.
Ethel Kennedy was adorable when she was young.
The destroyer he mentions that was named after his older brother was part of the blockade during the Cuban missle crisis...
He is so hansome man
jbthebest-ni6qv. I also read he was even better looking in person. His pictures don't do him justice allegedly.
What a contrast from any conversation with any politician today!
Wonderful man and a wonderful father xxxxxxx
Fascinating!
Can't believe Ethel is still alive!!!
Almost 95 years old!
Look at the way Mrs.. Kennedy looks at Robert. I love the idea of these days. Women were traditional, and supported their husbands. "The government has to be run by men, and men are fallible, " he said. Now, we have a woman Vice President. I have to take care of my own business, I have to deal with men in business. I am not embarrassed to say, I wish we could live on one salary and women were home. Ethel went on to be somewhat of a diplomat and was involved in social services after Bobby died. She became a career woman. You can see here that she was very bright. Nothing like she was here, so demure and her role seemed to be her kids.
You are exactly right. Feminism is a scourge.
I love them so beautiful
How sad Bobby and Abe Lincoln suffered the same fate
And JFK
Bobby looks shy lol
Yes he always was haha
Благодарю эту прекрасную смелую семью . Их не смогли запугать .
Anyone notice how Bobby disappears to put the kids, who are somewhat restless, to bed while Ethel shows the dining room. After a brief interval, poof, Bobby reappears sans kids. Come on. They had nannies/houseworkers to look after the kids. This was all for show and helped create the image of the Kennedys as the all-American family. Bobby was a workaholic, Ethel probably spent more time shopping, playing tennis and planning parties than parenting her kids. Read a good biography of this duo. Hickory Hill followed the Skakel tradition of a chaotic home. This is the great American image making machine at work, 1950's style.
Absolutely! Many biographies even state that Ethel was inept where domestic housekeeping tasks were concerned. The family employed cooks, nurses, chauffeurs, tutors, gardeners. Today, you may find a Skakel or a Kennedy who cooks and cleans. In the 30's thru the 90's, you definitely found that most of them employed others. Ethel even has trouble answering Mr. Murrow's questions about domestic duties.
Well they did have ELEVEN children and lived in a big house and had very political lives. They were very wealthy. It's not surprising.
Leave them alone! I don’t care if it was all for show.It’s better than watching crap about single baby mamas and fatherless kids!
Ethel bathed and fed the children. Or so I've read.
What a strong woman.
10 or 11 children.
She’s still alive 2018.
Sad! That most of her children have deceased!
Including a few grandkids...
Please get your “facts” correct.
Ethel and Bobby Kennedy had 11 children. Their 11th child (Rory), was born 6 and 1/2 months after Bobby’s assassination.
Most of Ethel’s children are NOT deceased. David passed away in 1984, of an apparent drug overdose. Michael passed away in 1997, as a result of a skiing accident.
Ethel has lost NONE of her grandchildren, nor any of her great grandchildren.
Kayte 0207 exactly!
Kayte 0207 correction she has lost a grandchild... Soirsee died in Ethel’s own home.
She sadly just lost another grandchild and a great grandchild on April 2, 2020. Maeve Townsend McKean( daughter of Kathleen..Bobby and Ethel's eldest) and her son Gideon drowned in the Chesapeake Bay. They accidentally kicked a ball into the water and got in a canoe to retrieve it. They were carried out into the bay and drowned.
Bobby was a Lovein father he took the baby upstairs after crying!! And he came back too get the teddy bear
He looked and acted so much like JFK. So heartbreaking.
Rip RFK
RIP David Kennedy
I wonder how Ethel's youngest sibling handles having such a famous older sister. There had to be incredible pressure.
Of all the amazing Kennedys, and of course JFK great as he was, Bobby Kennedy has always been my favourite.
The tragedy and loss to his family and to the country of his evil killing will be forever a black mark on the soul of America.
Lovely video
Very interesting -- I take it is 1957.
BuddyKrol probably yes
It brakes my heart
Beautiful family! ❤
It’s sad that these kids lost a great dad
Robert F Kennedy Jr for President 🇺🇸
❤Vp= TULSI 24
RFK, Jr was not in the mood😂 I’m really voting for RFK, Jr. ❤️🇺🇸🤍🇺🇸💙
Same. I really hope he gets on the ballot.
They seem very normal.
I always liked this woman....and then I read how she stiffed an Indiana restaurateur who hosted her son's wedding reception in 1982 and could not abide her anymore. I can forgive just about anything but when a millionairess screws a working man out of $8,000 and then dodges his phone calls and then forces him to file suit to recoup what is rightfully his, well, that is nearly impossible to forgive. Simply contemptible.
Double Ghod I feel sorry for her losing RFK, she really loved him. But she was a right
Bitch to the older sons. She
Was devastated by his death.
She just shut off to the boys
And and hit them when they
Played up. I'm not picking
On her, would have been hell
Trying to cope with a large
Family. They should have gased the bastard that shot
RFK. Idiot killed him over
The six day war, he wasn't
Even in the Johnson gov.
O
Double Ghod There's Always TWO SIDES To Every Story. Why Did She Refused To Pay The Bill?
Double Ghod, For Heaven’s sake, Lady - get a life! Do you actually believe everything that you read? Even if this incident DID happen, you do not know all of the facts, so how can you be so judgmental?
@@Kayte-tv2cw how come you guys can't accept that these people aren't as perfect as they seem. They're people who do people things. They also dont have privacy. This ain't no surprise. She went bat shit after Bobby's death , Bobby Jr even wrote about her in his book like geez how about YOU do your research
Ethel was and is a naturally beautiful woman.
Because she’s beautiful on the inside
She sure was!
How times have changed.
